N1 - Dear Elizabeth (Libby) Sander,
Thanks for submitting your work "Open plan office noise is stressful:
Multimodal stress detection in a simulated work environment" to Euronoise
2021.
After final verification, we inform you that your final paper has been
accepted for publication in the Euronoise 2021 proceedings and will be
included in the final programme. Please note that we may still contact you
if some formatting issues are detected.
Since the congress will be held online, we are now preparing and
configuring the online system to allow presentation and attendance by all
participants. The congress will be based on the 'Zoom' platform, and closer
to the congress dates we will send detailed instructions on how to access
the system.
In the meantime, we inform that all presentations (except plenary lectures)
must be pre-recorded and sent to the organization, and so you may want to
start preparing your own slides. A template will be made available in the
next few days in the congress website. Although this is not mandatory, we
highly recommend using this template or, at least, the cover slide.
Each presentation slot will have 20 min, of which a maximum of 15 min will
be allocated to the presentation itself. Since all presentations will be
pre-recorded, the corresponding video will be played by the congress
technical staff in the corresponding slot. Then, 3 or 4 minutes will be
left for questions, and so the presenting author should be online and
participating in the session, to be able to answer these questions.
The video of each presentation should have between 10 min and 15 min, and
should be recorded with a recommended resolution of 1280x720 or 720x576, in
MP4 format. The file should be smaller than 200 MB, and should be named
including the paper ID and the presenting author's name
("PAPERID_AUTHOR.mp4"). We recommend the use of MS Powerpoint for recording
the presentation together with the audio comments to the slides (using the
Record Slideshow option). Recent versions of MS Powerpoint also allow
including the video of the presenter's face using a webcam, although this
is not mandatory.
After recording, the presentations should be sent to the congress email
(euronoise2021@lnec.pt) using a file transfer service, such as, for
example, "Wetransfer", before October 11th. Please do not send your
presentation as an email attachment!
We look forward to see you (online) in Euronoise 2021!
Best regards,
Luís Godinho

N2 - Covid-induced changes in the workplace present a timely opportunity for human resource management practitioners to consider and remediate the deleterious effects of noise, a commonly cited complaint of employees working in open-plan office environments. There is little experimentalresearch comprehensively investigating the effects of noise on employees in terms of their cognitive performance, physiological indicators of stress, and affect. Employing a simulated office setting, we compared the effects of a typical open-plan office auditory environment to a quieter private office auditory environment on a range of objective and subjective measures of well-being and performance.While open plan office noise did not reduce immediate cognitive task performance compared to the quieter environment, it did reduce psychological well-being as evidenced by self-reports of mood, facial expressions of emotion, and physiological indicators of stress in the form of heartrate and skin conductivity. Our research highlights the importance of using a multimodal approach to assess the impact of workplace stressors such as noise.
