Full textAbstract:
Drivers of heavy trucks are exposed to large amounts of vibration which can lead to serious health risks. Many suspension systems/methods can be used to isolate these transmitted vibrations, such as vehicle suspension systems, cabin suspension systems and seating suspension systems. The central idea of the work is to identify the research gaps and raise our future research questions in this specific area. The novelty of this paper is proposing a model predictive controller for active vibration control of seating suspension systems. A systematic literature review of the existing work of the vibration control of seating suspension systems has been conducted. Various control techniques that are used in the seating suspension systems have been summarized and evaluated. This paper focusses on the biodynamic model of the driver and seat for the first step needed in the design of the seating suspension system. Then, it illustrates the different types of the system vibration controls and their performance evaluation methods. At the end, the paper details several active seating suspension systems including their actuation system structures and control algorithms which are used in the heavy vehicle trucks.

Full textAbstract:
This study evaluated the effects of active and static sitting chairs on short-duration computer task performance, postural risks and perceived pain, comfort and fatigue. A repeated-measures, within-subjects study was conducted, in which 16 participants performed 40 trials of a computer-based homing task in four seating conditions. Computer task performance was operationalized using mousing and typing speed as the measures, postural risk was evaluated using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA). Perceived scores for pain, comfort and fatigue were reported through a survey administered at baseline and after each seated task condition. Results suggest that for short-duration computer tasks, active seating does not reduce mousing and typing speed; postural risks for musculoskeletal disorders do not significantly differ in comparison to static seating. Additionally, while there is reduction in perceived levels of comfort for active seating, the perception of pain and fatigue do not change significantly.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, a pneumatically contracting active cloth has been developed; its application is proposed for a safe sitting-posture recovery system for wheelchair users to avoid fall-related accidents. The active cloth consists of thin artificial muscles knitted via a flat string machine. The safe wheelchair system is configured with an active cloth and seating pressure sensor. The seating pressure sensor, located on the seating surface of the wheelchair, estimates the inclination of the upper body of the user; when this reaches an angle that is dangerous for falling from the wheelchair, the active cloth contracts to correct the posture of the upper body. In this paper, we clarify the fabrication process and fundamental characteristics of the active cloth and indicate its potential as a mechanical element for welfare apparatuses by demonstrating a safe wheelchair system.

Full textAbstract:
Active seating designs may enable users to move more frequently, thereby decreasing physiological risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle. In this preliminary study, two active seating designs (QOR360, Ariel; QOR360, Newton) were compared to a static chair (Herman Miller, Aeron) to understand how active vs. static seating may affect task performance, movement, posture, and perceived discomfort. This within-subjects experiment involved n = 11 student participants who sat upon each of the three chairs for 20 minutes while performing a series of computer-based tasks. Participants showed increased trunk movement while also reporting higher levels of perceived discomfort in the two active chair conditions. There was no significant difference in either posture or fine motor task performance between the active and static conditions. Future research may benefit from additional physiological measurements along with a wider variety of tasks that require seated users to make postural adjustments.

Full textAbstract:
This review focuses on studying passive vibration isolation techniques and their applications. Advantages and disadvantages of different vibration isolation techniques will be compared in order to find an innovative method to reduce seating suspension system vibration and improve the ride comfort of vehicles’ drivers. Quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) isolators of high-static–low-dynamic stiffness are found to have good application prospects in low-frequency vibration isolation. In order to improve the isolation performance of the seating suspension system, a specially made seat cushion will be studied where a quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) isolator such as a double-diamond isolator is selected as one of the cells/units/elements of the seat cushion mattress. The double-diamond isolator structure does not represent the whole seating suspension system. The transmissibility ratio of the double-diamond isolator is evaluated by analytical and simulation models and compared to that of a conventional linear spring isolator. Although the performance of the passive vibration isolation/control system is usually worse than that of the active or semi-active control system, the cost of the passive vibration isolation/control system is lower than that of the active and semi-active control system, and the relative simplicity of adding a vibration isolation cushion mattress in an existing passive seating suspension system makes it low in cost, easy to implement, and more attractive than the active and semi-active vibration control systems.

This research paper examines three distinct teaching methods—U-Style, V-Style, and Circle—and analyzes their impact on student participation, collaboration, and learning outcomes. The study involved 30 students enrolled in a Tamil degree program, with the seating arrangement used in a Tamil classical literature class. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to evaluate the impact of these seating styles. Data was collected through observation, tests, and student feedback. The findings suggest that cluster seating is particularly effective in creating a student-centered classroom. This setup promotes collaborative learning and improves student engagement and learning outcomes. The study emphasizes the importance of well-planned seating arrangements in the classroom. Using cluster seating can help create an active and cooperative learning environment, supporting the goals of modern education.

Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder in the form of inability to focus attention, easily distracted, impulsive, and hyperactive. Children with ADHD are usually aggressive, unable calm down, are difficult to teach, and have trouble focusing when doing an activity. With this, children with ADHD need treatment, special handling, as well as facilities and infrastructure that are suitable for children with ADHD. One special facility for ADHD that looks significant compared to other normal facilities is a study furniture designed for children with ADHD. The study furniture is important because it often interacts with children with ADHD for a long time. The good consideration of a design is the fulfillment of needs that can adapt to user conditions. To get a solution, interviews with experts were conducted, potential users that is children with ADHD aged 6-9 years, literature studies on ADHD, active seating, fidgeting, ergonomics, color, benchmarking to product existing, and analysis of user needs. The results of this design are furniture sets in the form of tables and chairs that use active seating, calm, adjustable, and safe as the concept to support the learning activities of children with ADHD in special schools. The chair design uses the concept of active seating in the form of whole body fidgeting to support hyperactive and inattention symtoms. This design utilizes digital simulation to digitize the concept and simulate it, reducing trial and error during prototype development. Furniture with adjustable height system for children aged 6-9 years with a simple and safe form for the needs of children with ADHD. This design uses muted brown color to give a clean impression and not cause distraction, combined with a muted blue color to give a calming feel from a psychological standpoint and fulfill user preferences.

This research examines the evolution of seating furniture in Hungary over the past 200 years by comparing three representative pieces. The first is the famous tulipános hope chest, also known as the wedding chest, a traditional piece of Hungarian furniture. The second example is a bench from 1965, designed by József Zalavári, a renowned Hungarian designer and university professor. The third piece is the Kuube smart street bench from 2020. These three pieces exemplify the changing requirements and preferences for seating furniture over time. To support this comparative analysis, an online questionnaire was conducted in April 2024 targeting young adults aged 18-25 years. The survey aimed to understand their preferences and expectations for modern seating furniture. It was distributed and completed through various Hungarian Facebook groups, where these respondents are regularly active. The primary focus of the questionnaire was to identify the most important factors for the next generation in terms of seating furniture usage. Surprisingly, the results indicated that respondents were not particularly concerned with recycling and renewable energy sources in furniture production. Instead, they prioritized multifunctionality and ergonomic design. These findings provide valuable insights for future designers and projects, highlighting the essential considerations for creating seating furniture that meets the needs and preferences of Generation Z and Alpha users. By understanding these trends, designers can develop innovative solutions that align with the evolving demands of younger generations.

This study aims to know the perspectives of the teacher and student in using classroom seating management in learning English at MTsN 2 Kota Palangka Raya. This study involved two classes that use different seating layouts, as follows pairs and table rows. Three students in each class would be picked up, so there would be 6 students, 2 homeroom teachers, and 2 English teachers to be interviewed. This study uses qualitative research with a case study method. A purposive sampling technique was used, where the research instruments included observation, interviews, and documentation studies are applied in this study. The result found that both of teacher's and students' perspectives show the same answer which agree the pair seating layout is more comfortable and effective to be used in the classroom in learning English than the table row seating layout. The students express that the pairs is fulfill their comfort during the teaching learning process in the classroom as the theory said. The teachers also confirm that the students is lack of active participation because of keep distracting by other students who start the chit-chat during the learning process on the table rows.

Thousands of fans descend onto college campuses every Saturday during the fall to watch National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Power 5 and Group of 5 college football games. Power 5 is used to describe five of ten athletic conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and the SEC) which are considered the most prominent and highest earning athletic conferences in college football whose teams compete in the NCAA Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Group of 5 is an assembly of five conferences that also compete in NCAA Division I FBS. Group of 5 college football teams often compete against Power 5 and Independent teams during the regular season and bowl games (Vannini, 2022). The largest stadium seating capacity Group of 5 schools is around 40,000 people compared to the Power 5 stadiums, 10 of which seat at least 90,000 people (Chiusano, 2022). While the seating capacity at Group of 5 schools is not as great as Power 5 institutions it still represents a significant population (Vannini, 2022).

ObjectiveOffice environments have been causally linked to workplace-related illnesses and stress, yet little is known about how office workstation type is linked to objective metrics of physical activity and stress. We aimed to explore these associations among office workers in US federal office buildings.MethodsWe conducted a wearable, sensor-based, observational study of 231 workers in four office buildings. Outcome variables included workers’ physiological stress response, physical activity and perceived stress. Relationships between office workstation type and these variables were assessed using structural equation modelling.ResultsWorkers in open bench seating were more active at the office than those in private offices and cubicles (open bench seating vs private office=225.52 mG (31.83% higher on average) (95% CI 136.57 to 314.46); open bench seating vs cubicle=185.13 mG (20.16% higher on average) (95% CI 66.53 to 303.72)). Furthermore, workers in open bench seating experienced lower perceived stress at the office than those in cubicles (−0.27 (9.10% lower on average) (95% CI −0.54 to −0.02)). Finally, higher physical activity at the office was related to lower physiological stress (higher heart rate variability in the time domain) outside the office (−26.12 ms/mG (14.18% higher on average) (95% CI −40.48 to −4.16)).ConclusionsOffice workstation type was related to enhanced physical activity and reduced physiological and perceived stress. This research highlights how office design, driven by office workstation type, could be a health-promoting factor.

New Library World, 117(5/6), 321-328. https://doi.org/10.1108/NLW-08-2015-0058 Abstract Objective – To propose a new method to assess library space usage and the physical library user experience utilizing multiple data collection techniques. Design – Seating usage studies, surveys, and observation. Setting – Large university in the southern United States. Subjects – Students who physically use the library spaces. Methods – The researcher performed seating sweeps three times a day for one week at time, using a counter to get an accurate headcount of each area of the library. The number of users was recorded on paper and then transferred to Excel. A survey for library patrons was created using Typeform and distributed through both email and in-person. In addition, the researcher created a photo diary to document how students were using the space, particularly creative and flexible uses of the library space. These photos were collected to be shared with library administration. The researcher conducted the study twice, once at each main campus library. Main Results – The initial seating sweeps at one location showed an average of 57 to 85 users engaging in active study, and 57% of users engaged in individual study vs. group study. The sweeping study at the second campus location found that floors designated as quiet floors were the most overcrowded. The researcher found that overall, the actual library use surpassed expected library use. The survey results indicated patron concerns about the lack of available seating, noise policies, uncomfortable furniture, and technology issues such as power outlets and Wi-Fi connectivity. Conclusion – The researcher found that utilizing surveys in addition to observational data provided a more complete picture of the user experience. Photographs also provided depth and texture to the observational data. Based on the findings the librarians and administration plan to upgrade furniture and technology options, as well as make changes to the noise policy.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the determinants of regular season National Football League (NFL) ticket prices on the secondary, or resale, market. Prices in the secondary market are dynamic and thus particularly useful for evaluating the demand for live NFL contests. A rich dataset is employed that contains information about all transactions conducted by a prominent ticketing site during a full NFL season and allows for a comprehensive investigation of the components of demand in this market. Included in the analysis is a first look at the demand for different seating locations within the stadium. The revealed determinants of demand for resale tickets were largely consistent with studies of the primary market; however, there are notable differences in spectators’ preferences for contest characteristics and uncertainty of outcome across the seating categories. The evidence also suggests that while hometown fans are the primary participants, visiting teams are likely active in the resale market.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines how changes in the growth model of the US sports business since World War II—namely, changes in stadium design and ticket sales strategies—have transformed the accessibility of major league stadiums and the class composition of the fans inside. While survey data show an overrepresentation of wealthy fans in stadiums at the end of the twentieth century, they reveal little about whether or not this was a new phenomenon. I use ticket sales data to demonstrate that the displacement of working-class fans by the relatively affluent began in earnest at least as early as the 1950s. Before “premium-seating” options like luxury boxes became the norm, the expanded sale of season-ticket packages requiring large up-front payments made it more difficult for wage earners to attend games. While this crowding out of working-class fans has a longer history than very recent outcries over “stadium gentrification” suggest, it has intensified significantly over the last quarter century. Using an original data set containing information on seating arrangements at both the current and previous facilities of 73 of 91 active Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, and National Football League franchises, this article offers the first systematic evidence in support of claims that the proliferation of luxury suites and other exclusive seating options has resulted in the subtraction of large numbers of relatively affordable seats. This research not only deepens our understanding of the history of urban gentrification and postwar consumption, but also has important implications for the ongoing debate over public stadium subsidies.

Abstract Introduction: The rib broken are most frequent damages of chest. They cause strong pain, and make difficulties in breathing and changing position of body. Uncomplicated breakdowns are cured by analgesics drugs. One of physical methods for pain decreasing in musculoskeletal dysfunctions is kinesiotaping. The aim of this study was assessment of effectiveness Kinesiology Taping method after rib broken and their influence on pain reduction and breathing parameters. Material and methods : In this study take part 14 patients after broken one or few ribs from General and Colorectal Surgery Clinic Bielanski Hospital in Warsaw. Breathing parameters was controlled by forced vital capacity(FVC), forced expiratory voluntary in first second(FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF). Pain was asses by visual analogue scale (VAS) separately for three situations: deep breathing, provoked coughing and changing body position from supine to seating. Next K-Active Tape® apply on skin over the broken rib. After 15 minutes breathing parameters and pain level assessing was repeated. Results: There were difference between pain level before and after K-Active Tape® apply in three different situations. It shown difference in value of average points VAS in changing body position from supine to seating (p= 0,015), provoked coughing (p= 0,022) and deep breathing (p= 0,023). It means that pain was significantly decrees. Analysis of average value breathing parameters indicate upward trend FVC, FEV1 and PEF after Kinesiology Taping application, but it wasn’t statistically significant. Conclusions: Kinesiology Taping is safety, supplementary method for heeling posttraumatic ribs condition. Apply lymphatic and ligament techniques using K-Active Tape® could be effectiveness method of reduction pain after ribs broken. It’s necessary to continue research on effectiveness Kinesiology Taping after ribs broken with extend methodology.

Full textAbstract:
This experimental pilot study aimed to compare the amount of physical activity (PA) of children in a second-year class of an elementary school that had a mathematics class while performing PA, based on playful math games, with children that had a mathematics class seated in a traditional room, for 12 weeks 1 day/week 45 min/class; furthermore, the other two mathematics regular seated classes were attended equally by both groups, and whether both groups showed similar results concerning mathematics grading was assessed. Children (n = 22) were randomly divided into a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG). In both groups, the number of steps (PA) was measured with a pedometer, before and during all sessions of the intervention program, and an initial diagnostic and a final assessment mathematics test were carried out. EG significantly improved the amount of PA levels in the intervention program, when compared to CG and to the initial baseline (before the program started), with no significant differences between groups in the results of mathematics grading. The introduction of active classes based on playful maths games increases the amount of PA levels in children, and having one math class per week using PA, instead of seating in a traditional room, does not negatively affect the results in terms of mathematics grading. These positive results can contribute to more approaches, at schools, that combine PA and mathematics content.

Full textAbstract:
Seat interface pressure distribution is measured statically in a clinical or research environment with the patient in a fixed position (static) if measured at all. The purpose of this study was to compare the dynamic seat interface pressures between three cushion types [2″ foam, Roho Low Profile (air), and Jay Active (gel)] during wheelchair locomotion. A total of 9 volunteer subjects (7 males, 2 females) participated in a study to determine seat interface pressure fluctuations between each of the 3 different wheelchair cushions. Seat interface pressures were measured with the Novel Pliance System, consisting of a 320×32 sensor matrix mat interfaced with a PC. Each sensor had an area of 1.5 cm2. Sampling rate was fixed at 10 Hz. Average pressures under the ischial tuberosities were determined and the average maxima and minima were calculated from 3 wheelchair locomotion cycles of 3 trials. Wheelchair locomotion speed was constant across trials and conditions (±107). A repeated measures analysis of variance (RM ANOVA) exhibited a main effect for cushion type [F(2, 16)=16.6, p < .05]. A Newman-Keuls pairwise multiple comparison found differences between the 2” foam cushion and both the air and gel cushions, but no differences between the gel and air cushions during wheelchair locomotion. It is important that clinicians and cushion designers understand the dynamic performance characteristics of specific cushion types. Cushion performance may enhance the effectiveness of seating systems in minimizing pressure fluctuations.

Travel by air with long hours will create discomfort feeling for aircraft passenger especially economy class aircraft passenger. Long hour air travel will create physiological stress on aircraft passenger. It may due to seat space limitation, noise, vibration, cabin humidity as well as seat comfort. Seat comfort is a subjective feeling that related to psychological aspect of aircraft passenger. The current aircraft passenger seat is equipped with a passive function where the passenger themselves needs to adjust the seat for comfort seating position. The aircraft passenger will not able to adjust the seat when the aircraft passenger is in the low activity condition. The active seat support system was developed to support the aircraft passenger actively. The first prototype of active seat support system is focus on neck section. The head position of the aircraft seat was embedded with the system to detect the head position of the passenger. During the development of the active seat support system, total design technique was used. Five conceptual designs were generated for selection. To determine the final design of active neck support system, the matrix evaluation method was used. The weight of the concept was obtained through weight analysis.

The implementation of enablers on a luxury sport utility vehicle is used to illustrate the development process for reduction of road noise. The vehicle in this case study was launched into production with two tuned mass dampers for reduction of low frequency road noise content which was amplified by frame modes. Additionally, resonators were integrated into the wheels (rims) to address the dominant cavity resonance frequencies. The results of this successful production implementation are illustrated herein. An RNC (road noise cancellation) system was integrated into the case vehicle to assess its performance relative to the passive enablers listed above. This production representative (embedded software solution) RNC system utilized the vehicle's existing audio system for creation of active noise to cancel noise content which was predicted using accelerometers mounted to the vehicle chassis. A comparison of in-vehicle noise indicated a significant reduction at low frequencies (at all seating locations) when utilizing the active noise control solution. These noise improvements are coupled with a vehicle mass reduction of greater than 4 kg, when compared to the passive enabler solution.

Venues designed to create immersive audio experiences may include adjustable active acoustics and spatial audio mixing. One such venue is National Sawdust in Brooklyn, New York, which has presented many spatial audio events. For one of these, the electronic music duo “Mouse on Mars,” comprised of Jan St. Werner and Andi Thoma, collaborated with the late Jamaican record producer Lee “Scratch” Perry to create an immersive audio experience presented in March 2022. This audio production presented a challenge, as the content was prepared in Berlin and delivered in Brooklyn using audio systems with significantly different loudspeaker configurations. National Sawdust incorporates a Meyer Sound Constellation active acoustic system with 86 small full-range loudspeakers, 16 compact low-frequency loudspeakers, and a left/right PA system. The Berlin studio includes 20 loudspeakers. Audio sources were spatially mixed to the loudspeakers in both systems using an integrated Spacemap System. The workflow used to prepare this concert and the impact of additional production elements, including active acoustics, lighting, seating, and video, are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The high availability of technology-related jobs is currently not fulfilled by enough supply of technology graduates, specifically the ones coming from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses. This is related to the low enrolment rate of STEM-based courses at Universities. The notion that STEM subjects are intense and difficult to pass could be the reason of such phenomena. This research experimented different lecture delivery methods comprising of different seating arrangements, inclusion or exclusion of break, group size, and room size to investigate the generated levels of stress among STEM students, so that the method that would induce minimum stress could be discovered. The analysis of the generated heart rates as stress indication concludes that the level of difficulty of STEM subject’s topic is the one that most affected students’ level of stress, while inclusion of break during class is imperious to destress students. Class arrangement with far seating was discovered to be potentially more stressful for certain students indicated by the high level of resting heart rate in one of the experiments. Importantly, it was also found that regardless of lecture delivery method, STEM subjects in general remained challenging that was suggested by the consistently high recorded heart rates, which was also a sign of active learning engagement - besides implying the level of stress. Finally, gender-wise, there is no visible data pattern that could hint that certain gender is more vulnerable to stress when handling STEM subjects.

Full textAbstract:
The introduction of automated L5 driving technologies will revolutionise the design of vehicle interiors and seating configurations, improving occupant comfort and experience. It is foreseen that pre-crash emergency braking and swerving manoeuvres will affect occupant posture, which could lead to an interaction with a deploying airbag. This research addresses the urgent safety need of defining the occupant’s kinematics envelope during that pre-crash phase, considering rotated seat arrangements and different seatbelt configurations. The research used two different sets of volunteer tests experiencing L5 vehicle manoeuvres, based in the first instance on 22 50th percentile fit males wearing a lap-belt (OM4IS), while the other dataset is based on 87 volunteers with a BMI range of 19 to 67 kg/m2 wearing a 3-point belt (UMTRI). Unique biomechanics kinematics corridors were then defined, as a function of belt configuration and vehicle manoeuvre, to calibrate an Active Human Model (AHM) using a multi-objective optimisation coupled with a Correlation and Analysis (CORA) rating. The research improved the AHM omnidirectional kinematics response over current state of the art in a generic lap-belted environment. The AHM was then tested in a rotated seating arrangement under extreme braking, highlighting that maximum lateral and frontal motions are comparable, independent of the belt system, while the asymmetry of the 3-point belt increased the occupant’s motion towards the seatbelt buckle. It was observed that the frontal occupant kinematics decrease by 200 mm compared to a lap-belted configuration. This improved omnidirectional AHM is the first step towards designing safer future L5 vehicle interiors.

Full textAbstract:
The class of self-shaping woven textiles are those that undergo a transformation in shape exhibiting three-dimensional behaviors due to the interplay between weave structure and active yarns that shrink, twist or otherwise move during finishing processes such as steaming. When weaving with active yarns to produce dimensional fabrics the unpredictability of the complex interactions involved typically necessitates arduous physical sampling for intentional design and use. Current weaving software, overwhelmingly reliant on 2D graphic depiction of woven fabric, is wholly unable to provide the predictive dimensional appearance of such fabrics that might lead to practical decision making and innovative design solutions. This paper describes an iterative workflow to design self-shaping woven fabrics, from simulation-assisted drafting to the creation of a library of woven behaviors categorized by attributes for seating design. This workflow is then used to inform the design of a new yarn-based simulator as well as to design and fabricate a textile-centric furniture piece in which these woven fabric behaviors and ornamentation are intentionally zoned to the form according to structural, ergonomic and aesthetic considerations.

This research is motivated by the implementation of classroom management by interesting teachers, namely by changing the student seating model at each meeting. However, the media used by teachers is not adequate in delivering teacher material such as monotony only dictates the material. And there are some students who do not want to play an active role in learning, lazing in class, and talking to their compatriots when the teacher is explaining.The purpose of this study is to know about: 1) How teachers organize Classroom VIII at Al-Khairat Kubu Raya Junior High School 2020/2021. 2) The management of Class VIII that teachers do in the learning process at Al-Khairat Kubu Raya Junior High School in the 2020/2021 School Year. 3) The spirit of learning of Class VIII students after the management of the class is well implemented at Al-Khairat Kubu Raya Junior High School in the 2020/2021 School Year.The data sources in this study are teachers of Islamic Religious Education subjects as the main source, and supporting data sources, namely students of class VIII of Al-Khairat Junior High School who were appointed. This form of research uses a qualitatively de-decriminal approach. Using data collection tool techniques: observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques: data reduction, presentation of data, and drawing conclusions or verifications. While the data validity test technique used is: triangulation and member chek. The results of this study can be concluded: 1) The arrangement of classroom VIII at Al-Khairat Kubu Raya Junior High School in the 2020/2021 School Year has been done by the teacher by: directing students to organize the study room before learning begins and preparing learning facilities. In addition, the teacher changes the model of student seating at each meeting in a way before ending the teacher's lesson shakes the seating model that will be used at the next meeting, the teacher also guides students to maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the class. 2) The management of class VIII that teachers do in the learning process at Al-Khairat Kubu Raya Junior High School of the Year. Lesson 2020/2021 is that teachers use different methods at each meeting and the methods used are adjusted to the material to be taught. In addition to using different methods, teachers also use learning media even though the media used by teachers is only sober. 3) The spirit of learning of class VIII students after the implementation of class management is carried out well at Al-Khairat Kubu Raya Junior High School in the 2020/2021 School Year, which is after the teacher manages the class and provides motivation to students so that students are passionate in learning By giving gifts to the most active students, there are still some students who are passionate and not passionate in learning this is because students feel the teacher's way of teaching is boring.keyword: management, improving, learning performance

Nowadays, human life is becoming better with recreational and leisure activities that play an essential role in peoples lifestyles. Urban areas with recreational facilities, such as green spaces, invite city residents to spend their leisure time in places where they can benefit from nature (Lawal et al., 2011). As elements of the urban landscape, parks have numerous functions, such as providing environmental benefits through active and passive recreation and being wildlife habitats (Solecki and Welch, 1995).Almost all of the parks under the responsibility of Aydın Metropolitan Municipality and T.R. Efeler Municipality have seating units (95.65% and 83.33%, respectively), and most have sports and fitness equipment (82.61% and 43.10%, respectively) and childrens playgrounds (56.52% and 61.49%, respectively). Whereas only one park under the responsibility of Aydın Metropolitan Municipality has a bicycle path and skateboard track, no parks under the responsibility of T.R. Efeler Municipality have a skateboard track and chess area. While there was no statistically significant difference between the neighborhoods in terms of the number of activities according to socio-economic status, a statistically significant difference was identified in terms of the number of activities between the parks under the responsibility of Aydın Metropolitan Municipality and T.R. Efeler Municipality.

Full textAbstract:
Active learning strategies, which prioritize student engagement and collaborative inquiry, are increasingly advocated to enhance learning outcomes in higher education. However, their implementation in large classroom settings, particularly in resource-constrained contexts like Bangladeshi colleges, remains underexplored. This phenomenological qualitative study investigates the challenges teachers face when integrating active learning strategies in overcrowded classrooms and examines adaptive solutions they employ to overcome these barriers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and a focus group discussion with eight college instructors from two institutions in Feni district, Bangladesh, where classrooms frequently exceed 200 students. Findings reveal significant challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, time constraints, difficulties in monitoring participation, and students’ heterogeneous skill levels. Teachers also reported systemic issues such as limited institutional support, insufficient training, and rigid curricular demands. Despite these obstacles, instructors developed context-specific strategies, such as reorganizing seating into collaborative clusters, leveraging social media and flipped classrooms for pre-class engagement, integrating low-cost digital tools (e.g., projectors and WhatsApp), and employing peer-assisted learning to manage large groups. The study highlights the critical role of teacher agency in adapting active learning methods, emphasizing the need for localized professional development programs and institutional reforms, such as classroom size reduction and continuous assessment integration. These findings contribute to global discourse on active learning by underscoring the interplay between pedagogical innovation and socioeconomic constraints in the Global South. Recommendations include policy interventions to enhance teacher training, infrastructure investment, and curriculum flexibility to foster sustainable active learning practices in Bangladesh’s tertiary education sector.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of stand-biased desks on the physical activity and sedentary behavior of third, fourth and sixth grade students across the school year. Methods: This within classroom crossover design study used teacher-determined allocation for seating within each classroom. Half of the students used a stand-biased desk and half used a sitting desk. Five-day hip-worn accelerometer assessments were completed at baseline and at the end of each nine-week intervention period. A mixed effects model was used to determine the differences in the percentage of time spent active and sedentary. Results: A total of 22, 36 and 41 students in 3rd, 4th and 6th grades, respectively, completed this study (57.1% male, 79.3% White). Regardless of the desk type, students became more sedentary (p < 0.001) and less active (p < 0.001) in the classroom as the school year progressed. After controlling for baseline activity, there was a significant interaction between the type of desk and time (p = 0.029). Students who spent a higher percentage of their classroom time sedentary engaged in less sedentary behavior when using a stand-biased desk compared to the traditional desk. Conclusion: The standing desk intervention was effective in mitigating the increase in sedentary behavior for those who started the school year more sedentary.

The requirements for the foundations of naval vessel engines are based on classification rules devised by classification societies or/and military standardization rules. A class guideline was published, defining the requirements, acceptance criteria and machinery seating methods. There is also a schedule of basic calculation procedures for cast resin or rubber chocks which facilitates the process of machinery foundation design, preloading force calculation, the establishment of boundary conditions etc. In case of naval vessels, typical procedures do not meet tactical requirements due to potential explosion loads. Since minehunters are mainly deployed at sea, handling active, naval mines, the shock resistance calculation for the entire machinery, including the Genset, is required. The paper presents preliminary MatLab calculation methods which can be used to analyse the type, number and location of rubber or elastomer chocks. The procedure consists of input data such as UNDEX pressure and technical data of the Genset used in the Polish Navy. Calculation results include the analysis of the dynamic interaction between the Genset and the foundation, as well as the damping effect generated by the UNDEX (UNDerwater EXplosion) shock pulse.

Considering that many Nigerian roads are untarred, the effect of frequent plying of these untarred roads on passengers and the expected performance of suspension system of vehicles are important for health and safety reasons. This is significant because the transmission of vibration associated with suspension systems are dependent on the frequency spectrum of the road input, and the nature of the suspension system and the vehicle seating arrangement that is producing the vibration. Thus, this study focuses on the discomfort experienced by passengers based on parametric study of vehicle with semi-active suspension system under transient road conditions. The modeling of the of semi-active vehicle suspension system properties are contrived on the mass- spring damper system for 4 degree-of–freedom half- car model integrated with 3 degrees of freedom human-seat arrangement. Using vehicle parameters, the severity of ride discomfort experienced by the passenger as the vehicle traversed transient road conditions (i.e., traversing obstruction) was evaluated in terms of the vibration dose value (VDV). Results of simulation based on the parametric studies are presented and the vibration dose values evaluated to show the dependence of vehicle ride comfort on the characteristics of the various elements of the vehicle suspension such as stiffness and damping characteristics. The result showed that the variation of sprung mass and suspension stiffness of the vehicle had more significant effects on passenger discomfort than the variation of the unsprung mass. The parametric study also revealed that suspension stiffness affects the suspension working space as the vehicle traversed transient road condition.

Full textAbstract:
Lab appliances are an integral part of orthodontics, from active treatment to retention. The quality and fit of an appliance can affect the treatment result and stability. AIMS: This study aims to determine common points of failure in orthodontic appliances, and suggest methods to reduce this rate. METHODS: A survey consisting of 23 questions was distributed to active members of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) via Survey Monkey. RESULTS: The most common appliance to need an adjustment was the wrap-around retainer, with the Hawley retainer as a close second. The least common appliance needing adjustment was the Essix/clear retainer. Respondents were asked which component of each appliance was most commonly responsible for an ill-fit. For Hawley and wrap-around retainers, clasps were the most common problem at 50%, whereas spring aligners had two components - clasps and labial bows, both at 38%. Ill-fitting Essix/clear retainers had gingival impingement (52%) closely followed by poor posterior seating (43%). CONCLUSIONS: Communication between the orthodontist and lab technician can be improved by establishing a quality assurance protocol for outgoing and incoming cases. The labial bow of Hawley's, wrap-arounds and spring aligners should be clearly demarcated on the casts. Impressions should be free of distortion and casts should be inspected for accuracy. Clear retainers and positioner should be trimmed to avoid gingival impingement. The type of clasp should be selected based on the anatomy of the teeth, and bands should be checked for accuracy of fit.
