Abstract:
The right leg drive (RLD) is a circuit associated with electrocardiography acquisition circuits. For electromyography (EMG), the RLD circuit is used to a lesser degree. In general, the RLD circuit provides better noise reduction. This study compares the output of the EMG with and without the RLD circuit. The results indicate that with a good filter design, the direct grounding method can match the RLD in terms of noise reduction. As a result, EMG application, the RLD drive can be omitted.

Abstract:
In the literature, it has been reported that the mechanical output per leg is less in two-leg jumps than in one-leg jumps. This so-called bilateral deficit has been attributed to a reduced neural drive to muscles in two-leg jumps. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the possible contribution of nonneural factors to the bilateral deficit in jumping. We collected kinematics, ground reaction forces, and electromyograms of eight human subjects performing two-leg and one-leg (right leg) squat jumps and calculated mechanical output per leg.

Asymmetrical lower limb strength is a significant contributor to impaired walking abilities in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may be an effective technique to enhance cortical excitability and increase neural drive to more-affected lower limbs.

Abstract Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a common tool in medicine and is an important indicator for diagnosing many diseases. Nowadays, aspects such as low noise, low power, and high integration have become important indicators for ECG circuit design. Also, due to the low amplitude of ECG signals, ECG circuits need to have high gain to ensure accurate signal detection and analysis. Second, ECG signals are usually subject to interference from other parts of the body, so a high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) is required to suppress these interfering signals.

Abstract:
Purpose In the UK, the Children and Families Act aims to create one assessment process for children with special educational needs or disability, through Education, Health and Care Plans. It also aims for greater participation from children and young people in decisions about their own lives. Current evidence suggests that children’s needs and desires across education, health and social care are not being fully met, partly because adult agendas drive policy, practice and standards of care. Furthermore, little attention is paid to the way in which disabled children and young people are included

Recently, human activity recognition using skeleton data is increasing due to its ease of acquisition and finer shape details. Still, it suffers from a wide range of intra-class variation, inter-class similarity among the actions and view variation due to which extraction of discriminative spatial and temporal features is still a challenging problem. In this regard, we present a novel Residual Inception Attention Driven CNN (RIAC-Net) Network, which visualizes the dynamics of the action in a part-wise manner. The complete skeletonis partitioned into five key parts: Head to Spine, Left Leg, Rig

Abstract:
Forensic medical examination of corpses in traffic accidents is an important area of research in the field of road safety. Vehicle collisions often lead to tragic consequences, and are a significant part of the causes of violent deaths in the interior of cars. Despite constant changes in the design features of modern cars aimed at improving safety, mortality remains significant.
 The study is aimed at studying the injuries of the driver and passenger in the cabin of jeeps and SUVs in a head-on collision, taking into account the features of the car design and the mechanisms of force transm

Abstract:
In the context of intensifying global competition, productive entrepreneurship plays an important role in industrial upgrading and sustainable economic development. This study explores how the institutional environment affects productive entrepreneurship through different allocation paths. By integrating multiple institutional logics and using PD-QCA (Panel Data fsQCA) methods, we examined data from 76 countries for the period 2012–2022. The results show that institutional complexity provides entrepreneurs with diversified opportunities and resources, but also brings decision-making challenges

Abstract:
A female patient in mid-60s presented with progressive dyspnoea over several months and persistent hypoxia, requiring high-flow supplemental oxygen due to type 1 respiratory failure. Imaging investigations revealed metastatic carcinoid syndrome affecting the tricuspid valve, which led to severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) directed towards a patent foramen ovale (PFO). A bubble study demonstrated a significant spontaneous right-to-left shunt through the PFO. Right heart catheterisation ruled out significant elevation of right-sided cardiac pressures as a cause of the right-to-left shunt. Thus,

Globally, one in eight people lacks access to potable water; more people die from unsafe drinking water than from all forms of violence, including war. A substantial body of research documents that the privatization of water – led by global financial institutions working in collusion with governments and corporations – does not lead to more people gaining access to safe water. In fact, the opposite is true: privatization leads to both higher cost and lower quality water. For the past century, the dominant focus of transnational organizing has been “from the West to the rest,” and the frequent

Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was applied to assess the association between serum vitamin D (25(OH)D) and total, trunk, arm and leg fat-free mass (FFM). Methods MR was implemented using summary-level data from the largest genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on vitamin D (n=73,699) and total, trunk, arm and leg FFM.

Abstract Why do some constitutional transitions trigger the emergence of progressive judicial activism? This article addresses this question through an analysis of the creation of the Colombian Constitutional Court and its subsequent activism toward rights in general and the right to health in particular. This research suggests that ideational variables are crucial to explain this outcome. On the one hand, the Constitutional Court's behavior reflects the dominance of the institutional conception that it is the judiciary's role to help fulfill the promises of the constitutional text.

Operation theatre lighting system is a critical component in the operation theatre. Focusing the light to the area of surgery and varying the light intensity is manually done in currently available systems. Disruption of surgeon’s attention and possibility of infection due to non sterilized hands is a major setback of the manual controlling method. This usually requires assistants to adjust the position and intensity of the light system by commands from the surgeon. So, designing an intelligent lighting system for operating theatre which can maintain the intensity values to the required level

Abstract:
In this study, we developed a single leg knee joint assistance robot. Commonly used exoskeletons have a left-right pair, but when only one leg of the wearer is uncomfortable, it is effective to wear the exoskeleton on only the uncomfortable leg. The designed exoskeleton uses a lightweight material and uses a wire-driven actuator, which reduces the weight of the driving section that is attached on the knee directly. Therefore, proposed exoskeleton reduces the force of inertia that the wearer experiences. In addition, the lower frame length of the exoskeleton can be changed to align with the com
