Although extant research has emphasized task-oriented processes in teams, its focus on dynamic teams in digital environments remains limited, particularly regarding non-linear effects. Integrating attention capacity theory and activation theory, this study proposes a curvilinear (inverted-U) relationship between task-oriented interaction and team organizing efficiency in digitally-mediated teams. Analyzing 455 spontaneous sports teams from an open-boundary organizational platform revealed support for the proposed curvilinear relationship, with team identification moderating the effect. Specifically, when team identification was low (vs. high), the inverted-U relationship was more salient. With high (vs. low) team identification, teams exhibited relatively higher levels of team organizing efficiency, regardless of task-oriented interaction. These findings establish diminishing returns of task-oriented interaction as a fundamental boundary condition for digitally-mediated organizing efficacy, advancing theory on dynamic team coordination and offering pragmatic guidelines for managing technology-mediated sports collaboration.

Background: Patient-centered care (PCC) has become a global standard for improving communication and health outcomes. However, in time-pressured clinical settings, especially in high-volume outpatient systems such as South Korea’s, the implementation of PCC remains challenging. While consultation time is often cited as a key barrier, few studies have examined how actual communication patterns relate to consultation duration using observational methods.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its machine learning and deep learning algorithms have shown promise in oncological practice. Spatial information analysis in the context of cancer is crucial for its diagnosis and treatment because it can provide an understanding of tumor-microenvironment interactions and reveal insights into response to treatment. AI tools can analyze spatial information at multiple scales, highlighting key disease, clinical, and genetic phenotypes that may reveal underlying mechanisms and molecular markers of response and resistance within the tumor and its microenvironment.

Friendship and rapport play an important role in the formation of constructive social interactions, and have been widely studied in education due to their impact on learning outcomes. Given the growing interest in automating the analysis of such phenomena through Machine Learning, access to annotated interaction datasets is highly valuable. However, no dataset on child-child interactions explicitly capturing rapport currently exists.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and potential benefit of a virtual, community-based, task-oriented exercise program (TIME at Home) among people with balance and mobility limitations, and explore program experiences of participants, caregivers, and program providers.
Materials And Methods: In a pre-post study with a qualitative component, community-dwelling adults with balance and mobility limitations completed a virtual 8-week video-based exercise program (2 classes/week, 10 people/class) with 2 live facilitators, a post-class social time, and 3 healthcare partner visits. We administered physical and mental health measures pre- and post-program, and an online questionnaire regarding program acceptability mid- and post-program, and interviewed 10 participants, 7 caregivers, and 6 program providers post-program.
