Abstract:
SummaryObjective: To examine the problem of studying interruption in healthcare.Methods: Review of the interruption literature from psychology, human-computer interaction; experimental studies of electronic prescribing and error behaviour; observational studies in emergency and intensive care.Results: Primary task and interruption variables which contribute to the outcomes of an interruption include the type of task (primary and interrupting task); point of interruption; duration of interruption; similarity of interruptive task to primary task; modality of interruption; environmental cues; and interruption handling strategy. Effects of interruption on task performance can be examined by measuring errors, the time on task, interruption lag and resumption lag.Conclusions: Interruptions are a complex phenomenon where multiple variables including the characteristics of primary tasks, the interruptions themselves, and the environment may influence patient safety and work-flow outcomes. Observational studies present significant challenges for recording many of the process variables that influence the effects of interruptions. Controlled experiments provide an opportunity to examine the specific effects of variables on errors and efficiency. Computational models can be used to identify the situations in which interruptions to clinical tasks could be disruptive and to investigate the aggregate effects of interruptions.

Abstract:
People experience and handle interruptions on a daily basis. One strategy that people use to manage interruptions is to interleave an interrupting task with a primary task. Past interruptions research has mostly looked at the effects of a single interruption on primary task performance. This study sought to expand on past research by examining primary task performance during a period of interleaved interruptions. In this study, participants experienced either a single interruption or a series of interruptions that increased or decreased in duration. Task resumption in both interleaved interruption conditions was significantly faster than in the single interruption condition. The findings suggest that interleaving interruptions leads to more efficient task resumption than resuming after a single interruption.

Abstract:
This research aims to identify the types and reasons of interruption uttered by host and the guests in Sarah Sechan talk show. To answer the objectives of the research, the researcher used conversation analysis approach. The data were the utterances that contain the interruption from the conversation in Sarah Secham Talk Show Net TV. The findings showed that there were four types of interruption employed by the host and guests, i.e. simple interruption, overlap interruption, silent interruption and butting-in interruption. From 56 data found in the talk show, simple interruption had the biggest number of occurrence with 37.50%. Simple interruption was the most appearing type in this talk show because each guest in every episode mainly gives his/her floor to the interrupter, which is the host, Sarah sechan even though his/her utterance was disrupted. The smallest number of interruption’s type was butting-in interruption with only 5.35%. The host or the guests seldom do butting-in interruption because they give a chance to the interrupter to deliver his/her message. To decide the reason of interruption, the writer looked at the context of the discussion between the host and the guests. The common reason was Completing with 35.71% and the other reason was showing agreement, seeking clarification, correcting, breaking up, and reject some point. From all of this reason the writer conclude that the interruptions in this talk-show were not violation. Keywords: conversation analysis; interruptionn; Sarah Sechan Talk

Abstract:
Research has shown that different types of interruptions can affect their disruptiveness. However, it is unclear how different features of the interrupting task determine its disruptive effects. Specifically, some theories predict that the difficulty of an interruption does not contribute to the disruptive effects of that interruption alone. Disruptive effects can be mediated by the extent to which the interrupting task interferes with the ability to rehearse during the interruption. In this experiment participants performed a single primary task with three interruptions of different difficulty. We found that interruptions were more disruptive when the task minimized the participant's ability to rehearse (as measured by the number of mental operators required to perform the task) and not just when they were more difficult. These results suggest that the ability to rehearse during an interruption is critical in facilitating resumption of a primary task.

Abstract:
Interruption is a widespread phenomenon in human–computer interaction in modern working environments. To minimize the adverse impact or to maximize possible benefits of interruptions, a reliable approach to evaluate interruption cost needs to be established. In this paper, we suggest a new approach to evaluate the interruption cost by cognitive workload and task performance measures. The cognitive workload is assessed by pupil diameter changes and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) task load index. Task performance includes task completion time and task accuracy in a series of controlled laboratory experiments. This integrated approach was applied to three interruption coordination modes (i.e., the immediate, the negotiated, and the scheduled modes), which were designed based on McFarlane’s interruption coordination modes. Each mode consists of cognitive and skill tasks depending on the degree of mental demands providing four different task sets of interruptive task environments. Our results demonstrate that the negotiated mode shows a lower interruption cost than other modes, and primary task type and task similarity between primary and peripheral tasks are crucial in the evaluation of the cost. This study suggests a new approach evaluating interruption cost by cognitive workload and task performance measures. Applying this approach to various interruptive environments, disruptiveness of interruption was evaluated considering interruption coordination modes and task types, and the outcomes can support development of strategies to reduce the detrimental effects of unexpected and unnecessary interruptions.

Abstract:
PurposeInterruptions are prevalent in knowledge work, and their negative consequences have driven research to find ways for interruption management. However, these means almost always leave the responsibility and burden of interruptions with individual knowledge workers. System-level approaches for interruption management, on the other hand, have the potential to reduce the burden on employees. This paper’s objective is to pave way for system-level interruption management by showing that data about factual characteristics of work can be used to identify interrupting situations.Design/methodology/approachThe authors provide a demonstration of using trace data from information and communications technology (ICT)-systems and machine learning to identify interrupting situations. They conduct a “simulation” of automated data collection by asking employees of two companies to provide information concerning situations and interruptions through weekly reports. They obtain information regarding four organizational elements: task, people, technology and structure, and employ classification trees to show that this data can be used to identify situations across which the level of interruptions differs.FindingsThe authors show that it is possible to identifying interrupting situations from trace data. During the eight-week observation period in Company A they identified seven and in Company B four different situations each having a different probability of occurrence of interruptions.Originality/valueThe authors extend employee-level interruption management to the system-level by using “task” as a bridging concept. Task is a core concept in both traditional interruption research and Leavitt's 1965 socio-technical model which allows us to connect other organizational elements (people, structure and technology) to interruptions.

Abstract:
Abstract Interruptions during consumer decision making are ubiquitous. In seven studies, we examine the consequences of a brief interruption during a financial risk decision. We identify a fundamental feature inherent in an interruption’s temporal structure—a repeat exposure to the decision stimuli—and find that this re-exposure reduces decision stimuli’s subjective novelty. This reduced novelty in turn reduces decision makers’ apprehension and increases the amount of risk they take in a wide range of risky financial decision contexts. Consistent with our theoretical framework, this interruption effect disappears when a stimulus’s subjective novelty is restored after an interruption. We further find that these consequences are often unique to interruptions are often do not result from other interventions (e.g., time pressure and elongated thinking); this is because an interruption’s unique temporal structure (which results in a repeat exposure to the decision stimuli) underlies its consequences. Our findings shed light on how and when interruptions during decision making can influence risk taking.

Abstract:
Notification delivered at an inappropriate time is usually considered an interruption. To ensure appropriate timing, we considered treating the self-initiated intermission as a period for interrupting users without causing distractions. This intermission is the time to report oneself as being available for an interaction or being ready for an interruption. This gives users the privilege of choosing a suitable time to handle interruptions without hampering any currently active task. Users’ interruptibility is compared at the time of self-initiated intermission with two alternative types of interruption presentation: application switching and regular intervals. An empirical study showed that the self-initiated intermission is the best approach for interrupting users because their interruptibility is high at this time. We also found that users report on their intermission approximately up to four times during an hour long time span.

Abstract:
Operators working in extreme environments are often confronted with task interruptions. These interruptions tend to impair performance, which can represent a threat to public safety. Most of the tools designed to aid task resumption in such dynamic contexts are post-interruption solutions consisting of providing information about missed events once the interruption is over. The goal of the present study is to test whether a pre-interruption solution consisting of warning operators of an impending interruption can also facilitate interruption recovery. We employed a microworld simulating above-water warfare and compared primary task recovery following an interruption that could either be notified (8 s before it takes place) or not. Results revealed enhanced post-interruption decision accuracy and speed when providing foreknowledge of the imminent interruption. These findings suggest that a pre-interruption warning, which has already proven effective in static contexts, can also support interruption recovery in dynamic settings.

Abstract:
Knowledge workers are frequently bombarded with interruption and are required to constant multitask. Previous observational studies found that frequent interrupted activities cause more errors and induce feelings of stress and frustration. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to investigate how interruption affects error detection performance. Current error detection research focused on the effectiveness of different checking methods. In this thesis, we concentrate on the psychological mechanism of error detection. A series of experiments was carried out to examine the effects of self-interruption (i.e. the pilot study and Study I) and external interruption (Study II) on error detection performance respectively. The pilot study and Study I focus on the effects of working memory (WM) load and capacity. The pilot study employed a think-aloud technique to verify the predictions on WM and self-interruption. The results suggest that low-capacity individuals (LWMC) rehearsed more frequent than high-capacity individuals (HWMC). In other words, LWMC have more self-initiated interruptions during the primary error detection task. Study I was carried out to test the generated predictions from the pilot study. A reliable interaction effect WM load × capacity was found: LWMC performed significantly worse in higher WM load conditions; however, HWMC’s performances were unaffected by higher WM load. Study II focuses on the effect of interruption task types and position. There was no difference between the different interruption task types proposed. However, a significant main effect was found in interruption position: participants performed significantly worse in terms of both error detection and resumption when they were interrupted just before the actual field is displayed (i.e. between-fields interruption) compared to when they can see what is in the field (i.e. within-field interruption). The results are explained in terms of Salvucci and Taategen’s (2008) threaded cognition. The concurrent execution of error detection and WM tasks in Study I is interpreted as concurrent multitasking performance; whereas the sequential execution of error detection and interrupting tasks is interpreted as sequential multitasking. The current study contributed to the understanding of error detection performance by examining the roles of both self-interruption and external interruption and extends the application boundary of threaded cognition to interpret the effect of interruptions.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.
Modern competitive electricity markets do not ask for power systems with the highest possible technical perfection, but for systems with the highest possible economic efficiency. Higher economic efficiency can only be achieved when accurate and flexible analysis tools are used. Thus, the modelling of reliability inputs, methodology applied in assessing supply reliability and the interpretation of the reliability outputs should be carefully considered in power system management. In order to relate investment costs to the resulting levels of supply reliability, it is required that supply reliability be quantified in a monetary way. This can be done by calculating the expected interruption costs. Interruption costs evaluation, however, cannot be done correctly in all cases by methods that are based on the commonly used average values. It is the objective of this thesis to find a new way of calculating interruption costs which would combine the precision of a probabilistic method with the flexibility and correctness of customer and interruption parameters. A new reliability worth index was found, based on customer and interruption parameters. This new index was called a Risk-based interruption cost (RBIC) index and is described in detail in this thesis. The technique applies a time-based probabilistic modelling approach to network reliability worth parameters. The approach uses probability distribution functions to model customer interruption costs (CICs) while taking into account seasonal, day-of-week and time-of-day infl uences. In addition, customer specific parameters - economic activity, energy consumption, turnover and power interruption mitigation measures are used to segment electricity customers into customer cluster segments of similar cost profiles. Unlike the conventional deterministic approach, the new technique thus considers variability in CICs. The new model and methods to calculate the new reliability worth index have been implemented in a computer program and the accuracy of the calculation method was tested in various case studies and by comparison with the traditional average process. This research shows that probability density functions are superior to deterministic average values when modelling reliability worth parameters. Probability distribution functions reflect the variability in reliability worth parameters through their dispersion and skewness. Disregarding the effects of probability distribution of the interruption cost leads to large errors, up to 40% and more, in the calculated expected interruption costs. The actual error in specific reliability worth calculations is hard to estimate. It is however clear that this error cannot be simply ignored. Furthermore, the risk-based approach applied to the interpretation of risk-based interruption cost (RBIC) index significantly influences the perception on the network's reliability performance. The risk-based approach allows the uncertainty allowed in a network planning or iv operation decision to be quantified. Use of the new reliability worth index offer more flexibility in reliability worth assessment and produce more accurate results. It can be used in all areas of power system reliability worth assessment which have always been exclusive domain of the average process.

Abstract:
Despite the widespread occurrences of information technology (IT) interruptions in the workplace – defined as perceived, external events that are induced by or mediated by IT, with a range of content that captures cognitive attention and breaks the continuity of primary task activities – this phenomenon has received scant attention in the extant research. This dissertation aims at explicating the nature of IT interruptions and examining their impacts on the performance of individuals and groups. Three essays comprise this dissertation, with each addressing one of the following questions: (1) What are the different types of IT interruptions, and how does each type affect individual performance? (2) What are the cognitive and behavioral performance impacts of email interruptions? What are the moderating and mediating effects that shape these relationships? (3) What are the group-level effects of IT interruptions? The main premise is that variations in individual and group performance are associated with the type of IT interruption faced by individuals as they conduct their work. Whereas much of the prior literature has conceptualized IT interruptions as a monolithic, mostly negative phenomenon, this dissertation develops a taxonomy of different interruption types and shows how the distinct types exhibit performance effects that range from positive to negative. The first essay develops a taxonomy of IT interruptions with help from a multidisciplinary review of the work interruptions literature. This essay also develops propositions that link each interruption type with performance measures for individuals working in project environments. A qualitative inquiry comprising 21 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with team members from eight new product development organizations is conducted. The results provide preliminary support for the taxonomy and propositions, in addition to uncovering a third type – "hybrid IT interruptions" – with its distinct performance effects. The second essay deepens our understanding about the impacts of IT interruptions on individual performance, by proposing a model that focuses on the mediating and moderating factors. Drawing upon theories of cognitive psychology (cue utilization theory and mindfulness theory), it is posited that subjective workload and mindfulness fully mediate the effects of email intrusions and email interventions on performance, respectively. The model is tested with 365 sales professionals working in the business-to-business industry. Results support the full mediation model and show that there are compensating mechanisms that help reduce the negative effects on performance. The third essay is a conceptual paper that examines the impacts of IT-triggered interruptions at the group level. Drawing on coordination theory, it is proposed that IT interruptions are initially experienced at the individual level, but create multilevel effects as a result of interdependencies among group members' tasks. On the one hand, intrusions debilitate group coordination effectiveness and these effects can be mitigated by exercising task organization coordination. On the other hand, interventions enhance coordination effectiveness by leveraging group problem-solving coordination mechanisms. Overall, this dissertation enhances our understanding of IT interruption and the effects of different types of interruptions on individual and group-level outcomes.
Malgré la fréquence et l'ampleur des interruptions des technologies de l'information (TI) au travail – définies comme des événements causés ou transmis par les TI qui captent l'attention cognitive et rompent la continuité d'une tâche primaire – ce phénomène a fait jusqu'ici l'objet de peu d'attention dans les travaux actuels de recherche. La thèse explique la nature des interruptions des TI et examine leurs effets sur la performance des personnes et des groupes. La thèse est composée de trois articles, chacun étant consacré à l'une des questions suivantes : (1) Quels sont les différents types d'interruptions des TI et comment chaque type influence-t-il la performance individuelle ? (2) Quels sont les effets cognitifs et comportementaux d'interruptions par courriel ? Quels sont les effets de médiation et de modération de certains facteurs cognitifs sur la performance individuelle ? (3) Comment les interruptions influencent-elles la performance d'un groupe ? Selon l'hypothèse de base, les fluctuations de la performance individuelle et collective sont associées au type d'interruptions des TI auxquelles font face les individus dans le contexte de leur travail. Alors que la plupart des recherches ont conceptualisé les interruptions des TI comme un phénomène monolithique et négatif, la thèse élabore une taxonomie des différents types d'interruptions et montre comment ces types produisent des effets sur la performance qui peuvent être positifs ou négatifs. Le premier article élabore une taxonomie des interruptions des TI à l'aide d'un examen pluridisciplinaire des études sur les interruptions de travail. Cet article comprend également des propositions servant à établir un lien entre chaque type d'interruptions et la performance des individus travaillant dans des équipes de projets. Nous avons mené une enquête qualitative se composant de 21 entrevues semi-structurées auprès de membres d'équipes dans huit organisations de développement de nouveaux produits. Cette étude offre un support préliminaire à la taxonomie et aux propositions. De plus, nous avons dégagé un troisième type (les « interruptions technologiques hybrides ») qui exerce des effets particuliers sur la performance. Le deuxième article approfondit notre compréhension au sujet des impacts des interruptions des TI sur la performance individuelle en proposant un modèle qui met l'accent sur les facteurs de médiation et de modération qui façonnent ces relations. En nous appuyant sur les théories de la psychologie cognitive, nous postulons que la charge de travail subjective et l'attention (« mindfulness ») produisent une médiation entre les différents types d'interruptions par courriel et la performance. Une enquête empirique auprès de 365 professionnels commerciaux travaillants dans le secteur des ventes a été conduite. Les résultats soutiennent le modèle de médiation et montrent que certains mécanismes de compensation aident à réduire les effets négatifs sur la performance. Le troisième article consiste en une analyse conceptuelle où sont examinés les impacts des interruptions des TI à un niveau collectif. En s'appuyant sur la théorie de la coordination, on postule que les interruptions des TI sont ressenties au départ à l'échelle individuelle, mais qu'elles entraînent des effets à un niveau collectif en raison des interdépendances qui existent entre les tâches des membres du groupe. D'un côté, les intrusions affaiblissent l'efficacité de la coordination du groupe, mais ces effets peuvent être atténués par la coordination de l'organisation des tâches. D'un autre côté, les interventions renforcent l'efficacité de la coordination en accentuant l'effet des mécanismes de coordination des efforts de résolution de problèmes du groupe. Globalement, cette thèse permet de mieux comprendre les interruptions des TI et les effets de différents types d'interruptions de la technologie sur les performances individuelles et sur celles des groupes.

Abstract:
This project attempts to question the way the relation between communication and ethics has traditionally been conceptualized, and to offer an alternative perspective on that relation. An implicit premise in many communication theories is that successful communication is ethically favorable, particularly in facilitating ideals such as greater understanding, participation and like-mindedness. Contrary to that view, this project proposes that ethical communication may lie in the interruption of communication, in instances wherein communication falls short, goes astray or even fails. Such interruptions, however, do not mark the end of ethical communication but rather its very beginning, for it is in such moments that communication faces the challenge of otherness. Mobilizing relevant ideas from the work of French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas to the field of communication studies, this project proposes the concept of interruption as the main correlative between ethics and communication. The investigation then sets out to explore three limit-cases in which the stakes of ethical communication are most crucial: understanding and misunderstanding, communicability and incommunicability, and silence and speech. The discussion employs a distinctive approach to study the place of alterity in communication: dislocation—a double gesture which implies both tampering with the proper activity of communicational procedures and pointing to the ethical possibilities opened up by interruptions. The issues above are addressed through critical analyses of themes such as: universal language or the undoing of Babel; the ethical significance of misunderstanding and the challenge introduced by translation; autism as a paradigmatic case of incommunicability in medical, scientific and social discourses; the epistemological status and the ethical stakes of incommunicability; and, finally, the ethical dimension of free speech, the significance of silence and the responsibility to the silent Other.

Abstract:
Interruptions are prevalent phenomena in complex human-computer interaction. And various studies have proved that interruptions have negative effects on user performance. Therefore, study on the law of interruption in the field of human-computer interaction has certain guiding significance of enhancing working efficiency. Our study examined the effects of interruption modality (visual or auditory) on performance of primary task (visual) and interruption task itself to determine which modality was less disruptive. An experiment was carried out to explore the difference between two interruption modalities. The results demonstrated that different interruption modalities caused similar disruptive effects on performance of primary task, but auditory modality was more disruptive than visual modality on performance of interruption task. Our findings indicated that intra-modal interruption was a better way than cross-modal interruption in visual primary task.

Abstract:
We present a novel dataset of dialogues containing interruption with an aim to conduct a large-scale analysis of interruption patterns of people from diverse backgrounds in terms of gender, race/ethnicity, occupation, and political orientation. Our dataset includes 625,409 dialogues containing interruptions found in 275,420 transcripts from CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC spanning between January 2000 and July 2021. From this large, unlabeled pool of interruptions, we release an annotated dataset consisting of 2,000 dialogues with fine-grained interruption labels. We use this dataset to train an interruption classifier and predict the interruption type of a given dialogue. Our results reveal that male speakers (in our collected samples) tend to talk more than female speakers, while female speakers interrupt more. Moreover, people tend to use less intrusive interruptions when talking to others sharing the same political belief. This pattern becomes more pronounced among news media with stronger political bias.

Abstract:
Steady-state external natural convection heat transfer from vertically-mounted rectangular interrupted fins is investigated numerically and experimentally. To perform an experimental study, a custom-designed testbed was developed to verify the analytical and numerical results. FLUENT software was used in order to develop a 2-D numerical model for investigation of interruption effects. After regenerating, and validating the existing analytical results for fin spacing, a systematic numerical and experimental study was conducted on effect of fin interruption. Results show that adding interruptions to vertical rectangular fins enhances the thermal performance of fins. In a parametric study optimum interruption length for maximum fin performance was found and correlated.

Abstract:
Steady-state external natural convective heat transfer from a single-wall vertically-mounted rectangular interrupted fin arrays is investigated. A systematic numerical, experimental, and analytical study is conducted on the effect of adding interruptions to a single vertical plate, on natural convective heat transfer. COMSOL Multiphysics software is used in order to develop a two-dimensional numerical model for investigation of fin interruption effects. To perform an experimental study and to verify the analytical and numerical results, a custom-designed testbed was developed. Results show that adding interruptions to a vertical single fin enhances the thermal performance of it and reduces the weight of the heatsink, which in turn, can lead to lower manufacturing costs. A compact relationship for the Nusselt number based on geometrical parameters for interrupted fins is presented using a blending technique for two asymptotes of interruption length.

Full text
Abstract:
As businesses across the country (and the globe) have been forced to shut down to contain the spread of COVID-19, many have turned to their insurance policies for indemnification of their losses through business interruption (BI) insurance coverage. However, only about 40% of small businesses in the U.S. purchase BI coverage, and for many policies in place, pandemics are excluded or not explicitly covered. As a consequence of this significant coverage gap, there have been state and federal legislative proposals to either: i) retroactively provide coverage regardless of policy existing policy language; or ii) create a government-backed pandemic insurance program to provide BI coverage for pandemics moving forward. The Wisconsin School of Business (WSB) Insurance Experts Panel explores the extent to which insurance experts agree or disagree on major public policy issues affecting the insurance industry. We turned to the more than 50 insurance experts on the WSB Insurance Experts Panel to obtain their insights on this significant BI coverage issue.
