In May 2020 a Nigerian High Court sentenced Olalekan Hameed to death via Zoom. Amid the controversy, Rhodes-Vivour JSC, striking out Attorney General of Lagos State v Attorney General of the Federation, instituted to clarify the constitutionality of virtual court sittings, pronounced: ‘[v]irtual sitting as of today are not unconstitutional’. Analysing sections 36(3) and (4) of Nigeria's Constitution alongside judicial authorities on the public hearing imperative, this article argues that the issue is not so much whether virtual sittings are unconstitutional as whether enough has been done to e

Background : Low fitness is an emerging factor for cardiovascular diseases. Physical activity and sitting time are arising factors that influence fitness level. There are some debates on what domain of physical activity and sitting time that have more influences on fitness level. The aims of this study were to (1) explore each domain of physical activity & sitting time and analyze their associations with low fitness in male working adults and (2) explore the differences between sitting time on a working day and a day-off.

These procedures yield the ration between vibration of elevator motor and acoustic noise in sitting-room.

In recent years, the burden per worker has increased due to a decrease in the working population. Wearable assist suits have been developed as one of the methods for solving the problem. To extend the assist suit to practical situations, it is necessary to provide a motion judgment interface for judging the motion of a wearer. Therefore, in our study, a motion judgment algorithm is proposed for assist suits, based on variable viscoelasticity. The proposed algorithm judges sitting, standing-up, stance, sitting-down, and gait using only the joint angle information of the suit and verification is

Recognizing Activities of Daily Living (ADL) or detecting falls in domestic environments require monitoring the movements and positions of a person.

To support such activities in an unobtrusive way, ambient-based solutions are available (e.g., based on PIRs, contact sensors, etc.). In this paper, we focus on the problem of sitting detection exploiting only unobtrusive sensors. In fact, sitting detection can be useful to understand the position of the user in many

Sitting-drop protein crystallization is not used as commonly as the hanging-drop method for crystal optimization owing to the limitations of commercially available sitting-drop bridges, particularly when they are used in conjunction with 24-well crystallization plates. The commercially available sitting-drop bridge, containing space for only a single drop, restricts their wider use. Proteins that preferentially crystallize under sitting-drop conditions therefore require more work, time and resources for their optimization.

This paper summarizes portions of a multi-year collaborative study on the dynamic stability of high-speed, shallow draft recreational boats, in which the author has played a small role. These boats are powered by outboard engines, and sometimes fitted with propeller tunnels to permit raising the outboard to reduce draft. Some of these boats have been known to exhibit a dynamic instability referred to as “swapping ends” or “spinout,” in which the boat enters into a moderate turn and then suddenly completes a 180-degree turn in a few seconds, pivoting about a location somewhere near the middle o

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of physiological and behavioral evaluation measures for predicting drivers’ subjective drowsiness. EEG, heart rate variability (RRV3), and blink frequency were physiological measures. Behavioral measures included neck vending angle (horizontal and vertical), back pressure, foot pressure, COP on sitting surface, frequency of body movement, tracking error in driving simulator task, and standard deviation of quantity of pedal operation. Drowsy states were predicted by using multinomial logistic regression model where physiological and behavio

Abstract:
People with physical disabilities often spend a significant amount of time in a sitting position. As a result of paralysis affecting the lower body, they may be unaware that they are assuming a high-load posture, which can contribute to issues such as pressure ulcers, shoulder stiffness, back pain, muscle imbalances, and diminished physical function. While seating technologies have been proposed to correct sitting posture, most existing methods are primarily designed for hospital settings and lack interventions for daily posture. To address this gap, we have developed a mat-type pressure-sensi

Abstract:
The goal of this project was to develop a device to assist a paraplegic or quadriplegic in moving from the floor to a wheelchair with the assistance of only one person. A collapsible and portable device resembling a chair into which the individual can be strapped was developed for this purpose. The device separates into four pieces: the high back, the right leg with an attached foot rest, the left leg with an attached seat, and the top handle. The right and left legs were curved. Two ratcheting rear legs are placed on the back side of the unit for additional support. The device and its compone

Abstract:
Ancient Chinese people paid attention to walking like the wind, sitting like a clock, lying like a bow, and standing like a loose man. This was the standard for a good posture. They did not blindly pursue "thin" to show a person's physical beauty. Our posture had an invisible impact on our health and temperament. Modern people, due to the accelerated pace of life, the popularity and application of electronic products, especially in today's rapid development of information technology, had many factors that caused people to hunchback, neck, splayed feet Bad posture, such as high and low shoulder

Abstract:
The authors performed unsteady numerical simulations of virus/particle transport released from a hypothetical passenger aboard a commuter bus. The bus model was sized according to a typical city bus used to transport passengers within the city of Long Beach in California. The simulations were performed for the bus in transit and when the bus was at a bus stop opening the middle doors for 30 seconds for passenger boarding and drop off. The infected passenger was sitting in an aisle seat in the middle of the bus, releasing 1267 particles (viruses)/min. The bus ventilation system released air fro

Abstract:
Geelong and the Surf Coast are treated here as one entity although there are marked differences between the two communities. Sitting on the home of the Wathaurong Aboriginal group, this G21 region is geographically diverse. Geelong serviced a wool industry on its western plains, while manufacturing and its seaport past has left it as a post-industrial city. The Surf Coast has benefitted from the sea change phenomenon. Both communities have fast growing populations and have benefitted from their proximity to Melbourne. They are deeply integrated with this major urban centre. The early establish

Abstract:
A major health concern for public transit users is exposure to viruses from other passengers. This numerical study examines virus containment aboard a public bus with changes to the bus ventilation system. The virus was modeled as a 2.5 µm round solid particle released from the mouth of the infectious passenger at a rate of 21 particles per second at a mouth velocity of 0.278 m/sec. The air delivery to the cabin was two linear ceiling slots spanning the length of the bus delivering 59.38 m3/min (2,097 CFM) of air at a mean velocity of 1 m/sec.

Abstract:
It is important to understand human kinematics and muscle activation patterns in emergency maneuvers for the design of safety systems and for the further development of human models. The objective of this study was to quantify kinematic behavior and muscle activation in simulated steering tests in several realistic conditions. In total 108 tests were performed with 10 volunteers undergoing purely lateral maneuvers at 5 m/s2 deceleration or simulated lane change maneuvers at 5 m/s2 peak acceleration and peak yaw velocity of 25 °/s. Test subjects were seated on a rigid seat and restrained by a 4
