Abstract:

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. Method :In this cross-sectional study, a total of 31 healthy m

Abstract:

Total simulation from vibration of elevator motor to noise at sitting room with anti-vibration measures is confirmed in design stage. This procedure also presents decrease of acoustic noise in sitting room. In this simulation, FEM calculates wave motion, such as wave phase, interference, diffraction and natural frequency mode of sitting room wall. These procedures yield the ration between vibration of elevator motor and acoustic noise in sitting-room.

Abstract:

This article begins by asserting that the distinction between high and middlebrow literary texts rests fundamentally not on literary merit or cultural hierarchies but on the culture and practices of reading as they changed and developed in the first half of the twentieth century. It explores the difficulties of drawing a firm dividing line between high and middlebrow experienced by contemporary critical and cultural commentators such as Cyril Connolly, Q. D. Leavis and George Orwell, and argues that what was crucial for these commentators was not so much the precise boundaries they drew as the

Abstract:

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

Abstract:

Recognizing Activities of Daily Living (ADL) or detecting falls in domestic environments require monitoring the movements and positions of a person. Several approaches use wearable devices or cameras, especially for fall detection, but they are considered intrusive by many users. 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

Abstract:

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. In response to these limitations, and using 3D printing, a new sitting-

In October 2003 in Melbourne, the High Court of Australia celebrated the centenary of its first sitting. According to the Australian Constitution, it is the “Federal Supreme Court” of the Australian Commonwealth.1 Although the Constitution envisaged the establishment of the High Court, the first sitting of the new court did not take place until a statute had provided for the court and the appointment of its first Justices. They took their seats in a ceremony held in the Banco Court in the Supreme Court of Victoria on 6 October 1903. Exactly a century later, the present Justices assembled in th

Abstract:

High amounts of sedentary behaviour, such as sitting, can lead to adverse health consequences. Interventions to break up prolonged sitting in the workplace have used active workstations, although few studies have used behaviour change theory. This study aimed to combine the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and the Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation to Behaviour system (COM-B) to investigate perceived barriers and facilitators to breaking up sitting in desk-based office workers. Semi-structured interviews with 25 desk-based employees investigated barriers and facilitators to breaking up

Background: Cross legged sitting posture (sukhasana, yogic) is normal sitting posture in India, Nepal and some neighboring countries. This posture is also claimed to deepen breath. However, not many studies have been documented to observe if there is any difference in vital capacity (VC) of lungs in standing, sitting erect posture in chair, and sitting erect in crossed legged posture. So, our aim is to compare the vital capacity in standing, sitting erect posture in chair, and crossed legged sitting posture.

Abstract:

Last year, in the dispatch “There Is No Texting at James Baldwin’s Table,” I began to assess the ways in which audiences were engaging with Baldwin’s writing at several public discussions that I co-facilitated with NYC actor/comedian Grant Cooper. Based on the initial reaction to two five-part Baldwin conversations at a high school and middle school in Manhattan, I posited that a need for meaningful communion is drawing people to discuss the writer. As I wrote that article, I was busy scheduling seven new Baldwin discussions in communities across New Jersey and another five-part series in Manh

Abstract:

As the intensity of work increases, many of us sit for long hours while working in the office. It is not easy to sit properly at work all the time and sitting for a long time with wrong postures may cause a series of health problems as time goes by. In addition, monitoring the sitting posture of patients with spinal disease would be beneficial for their recovery. Accordingly, this paper designs and implements a sitting posture recognition system from a flexible array pressure sensor, which is used to acquire pressure distribution map of sitting hips in a real-time manner.

Although detrimental associations of sitting time and health indicators have been observed in young adults, evidence of pathophysiological mechanisms is lacking. Therefore, this study tested the hypothesis that the acute cardiometabolic effects of prolonged sitting can be compensated by hourly interruptions to sitting in healthy, young adults. Additionally, leg muscle activation during sitting and moderate-intensity physical activity interruptions was assessed.

Neck pain is one of the musculoskeletal disorders reported globally, with a fairly high number of incidences. In Indonesia, the incidence of neck pain reaches 46.5%, with symptoms of pain episodes that increase and recur. Neck pain can be caused by several factors, one of which is sedentary activity, such as the duration of sitting every day. The duration of sitting, which is part of the ergonomic factor, causes the body to maintain stative muscle tension for a long time. This study aims to analyze the relationship between sitting duration and the incidence of neck pain in medical students at

Tumors in the posterior fossa can be done in lateral, supine, prone, sitting and in park bench positions. Depending on the exact position of the lesion and the technical preference of the surgeon, sitting position may be preferred. Sitting position grants best possible access to deeper structures with minimal retraction. However, maintenance of anaesthesia in this position for long duration pose some serious challenges to the anaesthesiologist including high risk of venous air embolism (VAE), hemodynamic instability and respiratory disturbances.
