AnCoraPipe: A tool for multilevel annotation

AnCoraPipe is a corpus annotation tool which allows different linguistic levels to be annotated simultaneously and efficiently, since it uses a single format for all stages. In this way, the required annotation time is reduced and the integration of the work of all annotators is made easier

AnCora-Net: integración multilingüe de recursos lingüísticos

AnCora-Net es un léxico verbal multilingüe creado a partir de la integración de los léxicos verbales AnCora-Verb, del catalán y español, en el Unified Verb Index del inglés. El Unified Verb Index aúna diferentes fuentes de conocimiento del inglés de amplia cobertura que son sin duda un referente en representación semántica. La integración de nuestros recursos con los del inglés nos permite enriquecer el contenido de los léxicos AnCora-Verb con información semántica codificada para el inglés. Asimismo, el Unified Verb Index también se enriquece con la incorporación de los léxicos AnCora-Verb, del catalán y español, dando lugar a un recurso multilingüe que puede ser útil para estudios comparativos

Design and development of a digital intervention for workplace stress and mental health (EMPOWER)

Purpose: We describe the design and development of the European Platform to Promote health and wellbeing in the workplace (EMPOWER) digital intervention that provides an integrative user programme meeting the needs of employees and employers in addressing work stress. Results: A user-centred design process was followed from January 2020 until November 2021. A tailored algorithm was developed to provide support at the individual employee level and the company level. Each element of the digital intervention was developed in English and then translated in Spanish, English, Polish and Finnish. The digital intervention consists of a website and a mobile application (app) that provides algorithm-based personalised content after assessing a user's somatic and psychological symptoms, work functioning, and psychosocial risk factors for work stress. It has a public section and an employer portal that provides recommendations to reduce psychosocial risks in their company based upon clustered input from employees. Usability testing was conducted and showed high ease of use and completion of tasks by participants. Conclusion: The EMPOWER digital intervention is a tailored multimodal intervention addressing wellbeing, work stress, mental and physical health problems, and work productivity. This will be used in a planned RCT in four countries to evaluate its effectiveness

Study protocol of EMPOWER: A cluster randomized trial of a multimodal eHealth intervention for promoting mental health in the workplace following a stepped wedge trial design

Objective: This article describes the EMPOWER study, a controlled trial aiming to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of an eHealth intervention to prevent common health problems and reduce presenteeism and absenteeism in the workplace. Intervention: The EMPOWER intervention spans universal, secondary and tertiary prevention and consists of an eHealth platform delivered via a website and a smartphone app designed to guide employees throughout different modules according to their specific profiles.Design: A stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial will be implemented in four countries (Finland, Poland, Spain and UK) with employees from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and public agencies. Companies will be randomly allocated in one of three groups with different times at which the intervention is implemented. The intervention will last 7 weeks. Employees will answer several questionnaires at baseline, pre- and post-intervention and follow-up. Outcome measures: The main outcome is presenteeism. Secondary outcomes include depression, anxiety, insomnia, stress levels, wellbeing and absenteeism. Analyses will be conducted at the individual level using the intention-to-treat approach and mixed models. Additional analyses will evaluate the intervention effects according to gender, country or type of company. Cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analyses [based on the use of quality-adjusted life-years (QALYS)] will consider a societal, employers' and employees' perspective.</p

The Unified Verb Index combines different sources of knowledge for English of wide coverage, which are a referent in semantic representation. The integration of our resources to the Unified Verb Index will enrich the contents of AnCora-Verb lexicons with semantic information coded for English. In the same way, the Unified Verb Index will be also related to equivalent verbs in another languages giving rise a multilingual resource that can be useful for comparative studies.Este trabajo ha sido posible gracias a los proyectos TEX-MESS 2.0 (TIN2009-13391-C04-04) y Araknion (FFI2010-114774-E) del Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación
