Abstract:

Background:Custom-contoured wheelchair seating lowers risk of pressure injury and postural deterioration while custom-contoured wheelchair seating lowers risk of pressure injury and postural deterioration while increasing the stability and functional activity of the wheelchair occupant. Producing custom-contoured seating systems has historically been a labour-intensive process custom-contoured seating systems is historically labour-intensive.Objectives:Evaluate the strengths and limitations of current manufacturing processes for custom-contoured wheelchair seating to suggest potential future manufacturing processes.Study Design:Literature review of the state of the art.Methods:Research conducted through a literature review focused on the performance of different types of custom-contoured wheelchair seating products and processes over the last 40 years. Recent literature in orthotics and prosthetics was also consulted to assess future trends in seating.Results:There are five main manufacturing processes currently used to produce custom-contoured wheelchair seating systems. No single process is yet suitable for all wheelchair users, but many manufacturers are transitioning to computer numerical controlled (CNC) milling to reduce manual labour. Adjustable micro-modular seating and moulded seat insert manufacturing are also prevalent and offer alternative seating to soft foam carving.Conclusion:There is a need in the custom wheelchair seating sector for processes that are fast, cost-effective, produce little to no material waste, and that can effectively maintain a comfortable seating micro-climate. Additive manufacturing may meet these criteria, but further evaluation is required.Clinical relevanceThis review suggests that the custom-contoured wheelchair seating manufacturers are moving away from labour-intensive processes towards digital techniques, like CNC foam milling. Additive manufacturing is a potential new process that may reduce overall costs, the lead time in preparing seats and has the potential to better manage the seating micro-climate.

Abstract:

Preparation of examination seating numbers during the final examination at UiTM Pulau Pinang branch is manually drafted and written by the examination unit staff on the class lists printed through the Student Integrated Managements Systems (SIMs). Process of assigning the seating number for each student takes couple of weeks and this task has become a challenging part for examination unit. Since the students’ enrolments are linearly increasing every semester, the workloads among Examination Unit staffs become very burdensome in assigning the seating number. To automate the process of assigning the seating numbers, an algorithm was designed and constructed using the nested repetitive or looping structure techniques with JAVA programming language. Two tasks were identified in assigning the seating numbers; the first task was to set the examination seating number range with start and end numbers for each group of courses registered by the students and the subsequent task was to assign the seating number for each student accordingly by group seating number range as specified during the prior task without the violation or overlapping of seating numbers. The algorithm was tested using real data enrolments taken from SIMs for two semesters and resulted in positive effect especially on the reduction of stressfulness and zero erroneous allocation of the seating numbers.

Abstract:

Variable valve technologies, as an advanced category aimed at enhancing internal combustion engine thermal efficiency and emission performance, are highly favored within the automotive industry. This paper proposes a hydraulic variable valve system that can achieve continuous variation in valve phase and lift while maintaining a simple structure. Pre-tests show that at higher engine speeds, the valve seating characteristics are not stable enough. This study believes that in addition to considering the lower seating velocity, the valve seating characteristics also needs to take into account the timeliness of the valve seating and the permissible requirements of hydraulic oil pressure. In order to improve the valve seating performance of the system at higher speed, we first built a simulation model, analyzed the valve seating influencing factors, and then established an optimization model of valve seating characteristics, optimized the parameters of the buffer mechanism and carried out verification tests using a physical platform. The results show that under the premise of meeting the allowable oil pressure, the maximum valve seating velocity is decreased from by 60% from 1.33 m/s to 0.52 m/s, and the seating phase delay is only 3.3°, realizing the smooth seating and effectively increases the applicable speed of the hydraulic variable valve system by 28.5% to above 4500 r/min.

Abstract:

Purpose: To systematically review the effectiveness of adaptive seating systems on sitting posture, postural control, and seated activity performance in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Summary of Key Points: From 5 databases, 3 of 21 (14%) articles were of good quality based on the Downs and Black checklist. Commercial modular contoured seating and paper-based low-cost, and contoured foam seating were effective at improving sitting posture, postural control, and seated activity performance. Parents and service providers reported that seating systems reduced stress, burden and psychosocial well-being, and quality of life in children with CP. Conclusion: Limited evidence demonstrated that adaptive seating systems were effective at improving sitting ability and postural control. Randomized controlled trials with objective outcome measures of seating performance in children with CP are needed to evaluate effectiveness. Recommendations for Clinical Practice: Adaptive seating devices are preferred by parents and therapists for children with CP; however, objective measures of seating outcomes are needed.

Abstract:

This article articulates a framework suitable to use when making a decision about student seating arrangement in the classroom at school level as a research aim. The decision makers should establish what are the potential types of seating arrangement? Then evaluate them in terms of its contribution, significance, and impact to the student learning development. The problem of a seating arrangement is usually related to the seating student position selection that is usually decided by teachers or students that can freely choose their own seating. There are three (3) objectives covered in this article; objective 1: to justify the main factors influencing classroom seating arrangement at school building, objective 2: to identify the common patterns of seating arrangement applied for school level and objective 3; to determine the best practice of seating arrangement for 21st century classroom approach at school building. The article articulates a theory of seating arrangement in reference to five (5) common forms of seat arrangement, namely Traditional (columns and rows), Cluster, U-shaped, Stadium, and Runaway. The performance of students might drop especially weak students who are sitting at the back of the classroom if the students are not judiciously arranged. Thus, seating arrangements should be set properly to ensure optimal quality of learning in a classroom. The technique of comparative analysis was used in this study. The findings had shown that cluster seating arrangement is relevant with the 21st century learning approach, which provides more availability of collaborative learning, where it contributes to student-centred learning in a classroom.

Abstract:

Mechatronics is gradually being used in different fields of the production process and final products. In the field of home seating furniture, it has not been formally declared as such yet. The purpose of further development of seating furniture is to improve its ergonomic parameters, to improve user comfort in controlling and using seating furniture or to provide new additional functions of seating furniture. Application of mechatronic principles can be presumed within the framework of this development. An analysis of the current state of reclining seating furniture, which uses mechanical and electromechanical positioning mechanisms, is conducted in order to formulate possible fields of applying mechatronics. The analysis defines individual ergonomic parameters which are influenced in reclining of seating furniture. This analysis is used as a basis for formulating a hypothesis describing potential development fields of applying mechatronics in home seating furniture.

Abstract:

Seating location in the classroom can affect student engagement, attention and academic performance by providing better visibility, improved movement, and participation in discussions. Existing studies typically explore how traditional seating arrangements (e.g. grouped tables or traditional rows) influence students' perceived engagement, without considering group seating behaviours under more flexible seating arrangements. Furthermore, survey-based measures of student engagement are prone to subjectivity and various response bias. Therefore, in this research, we investigate how individual and group-wise classroom seating experiences affect student engagement using wearable physiological sensors. We conducted a field study at a high school and collected survey and wearable data from 23 students in 10 courses over four weeks. We aim to answer the following research questions: 1. How does the seating proximity between students relate to their perceived learning engagement? 2. How do students' group seating behaviours relate to their physiologically-based measures of engagement (i.e. physiological arousal and physiological synchrony)? Experiment results indicate that the individual and group-wise classroom seating experience is associated with perceived student engagement and physiologically-based engagement measured from electrodermal activity. We also find that students who sit close together are more likely to have similar learning engagement and tend to have high physiological synchrony. This research opens up opportunities to explore the implications of flexible seating arrangements and has great potential to maximize student engagement by suggesting intelligent seating choices in the future.

Abstract:

Learning enviroment affects students' learning qualitiyin the class. It needs teachers' ability to manage the seating arrangement. This study aimed to describe the English teachers' perception on the seating arrangement and to find out obstacles faced by teachers when applying seating arrangement. This study employed descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The result of the study indicated that the perception of the English teachers on the seating arrangement pattern is vey important. The class arrangement that has been applied is the seating pattern in the form of a separated table and solo work. With the aim that class conditions are fun and not monotonous. Obstacles that were often faced by the teachers; a) Student conditions, they often make noise when changed the seating arrangement pattern. Even, they were not only hard to manage but also protested to change; b) Classroom condition, a narrow room is also an inhibiting factor for the application of the seating arrangement pattern. Therefore, this research study is to encourage teachers to create the learning environment which affect to the students’ learning quality.

Abstract:

Seating in sports venues is a type of seating where rows are much more frequent than in other types of auditorium seating. Traditional seating looks to maximize capacity over fan experience. The stadium experience can be enhanced by recommending appropriate seating by viewer’s preferences and past behavior. Group customers would want to sit together when they go to a sports arena, but sometimes there are not enough seats available together. This study's methodology for improving viewing experience by optimizing seating arrangement using game type, historical ticket sales and opponent team is offered in this study as a way to get around this drawback. The data are collected from Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena seating dataset. Afterward, the data are fed to pre-processing. In pre-processing segment, the noise is removed and data is enhanced using Adaptive Robust Cubature Kalman Filter (ARCKF). The outcome from the pre-processing data is transferred to the Recurrent Graph Neural Network (RecGNN).The reserved seating, bowl seating and stadium seating are successfully classified by using RecGNN. RecGNN's weight parameter is optimized by the Lotus Effect Optimization Algorithm (LEA). On the Python working platform, the proposed RecGNN-LEA is implemented. The proposed strategy is analyzed using performance measures including recall, f1-score, accuracy, precision, and computation time.

Abstract:

Semi-outdoor learning spaces are becoming increasingly popular with both students and teachers at tropical universities; however, some of the seats are always vacant. This study focused on the selection of seating in semi-outdoor spaces in a university environment in Singapore. The methods included onsite measurements and a questionnaire to explore the factors that influence user seating preferences in terms of the physical environment, spatial perception, and the seating facilities. The study also explored factors that affect users’ lengths of stay in such spaces. It found that users attached a great importance to the thermal comfort of semi-outdoor spaces. They preferred sheltered seating and seats with views of the surrounding landscape. In addition, the study found that the higher the quality of seating facilities, the longer users spent on site. The results of this study may inform the design and layout of seating in semi-outdoor university learning spaces.

Abstract:

This study investigates the relationship between seating arrangement and academic performance among Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) students at Eastern Samar State University - Guiuan Campus. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study aims to explore natural associations between seating configurations and academic outcomes, utilizing a survey questionnaire adapted from previous research. Data collection involved administering the questionnaire to 121 BEED students across different academic levels. Statistical analysis, including frequency counts, percentages, and the Pearson Correlation Coefficient, was employed to interpret the data. Findings indicate that students perceive seating arrangements as influential on their academic engagement and performance, particularly highlighting psychological comfort as a significant factor. Results from the survey reveal an overall positive perception towards seating arrangements, with most students agreeing on the effectiveness of their current seating setups. Academic performance, measured through General Weighted Average (GWA), shows a majority of students achieving proficient and very good ratings. Statistical analysis confirms a moderate correlation (r = 0.498, p = 0.059) between seating arrangement and academic performance, suggesting a significant relationship. This implies that while seating arrangement is not the sole determinant of academic success, it plays a noteworthy role in student outcomes. In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of considering seating arrangements in enhancing classroom dynamics and improving educational outcomes. It provides valuable insights for educators and educational policymakers to optimize learning environments. Recommendations include empowering students in seat choice, designing learner-centered seating plans, and enhancing school infrastructure to foster conducive learning environments. Future research directions are proposed to further explore experimental approaches and refine strategies for improving learning quality and processes.

Abstract:

The notion of setting effective seating arrangements has been reviewed in some research related to classroom management strategies. In practice, seating arrangement can be one of the most important aspects that can create a positive learning environment in the classroom. However, considering effective classroom management and setting effective seating arrangements are often neglected by the teachers in their teaching preparation. This research was conducted to investigate the students’ perspectives toward orderly rows seating arrangements in higher level education. In this study, three main instruments were used to collect the data namely interview, observation, and questionnaire. Based on the results of the study, it is found that the use of orderly rows seating arrangements in the classrooms has some advantages and disadvantages. In some circumstances, orderly rows seating arrangement is best applied for doing presentation, lecture, or explanation. Unless, it is less effective for several reasons such as it tends to have teacher-centered than student-centered learning; there are less of group discussions; and it diminishes the teacher or students’ movements. To review these findings, furthermore, it is suggested that the use of seating arrangements in the classrooms should vary set from orderly rows, circle, U-shape, horseshoe, to separate tables by using appropriate movable desk-chairs accustomed to the learning goals, needs, methods, and classroom situation. Keywords: orderly rows seating arrangement; classroom management

Abstract:

Patients with muscular dystrophy (MD) need fitted wheelchairs. This study aimed to ascertain physiotherapists and occupational therapists’ opinions about the current wheelchair seating process for patients with MD in Japan. We identified 266 academic papers published between August 2014 and July 2019 with the keywords “muscular dystrophy” and either “physiotherapy” or “occupational therapy.” We then sent survey requests to 140 physiotherapists and occupational therapists (who were among the authors of the aforementioned papers), of whom 41 agreed to partake in this study. We found that the time required for each seating was 30–60 min for three types of MD, and the most commonly reported time to trial fitting was 1–3 months. In addition, health insurance reimbursements for seating were considered part of disease-specific rehabilitation in most cases, and most therapists were more or less satisfied with the current seating procedure. Physiotherapists had the highest degree of reflection of their views (wishes) regarding seating, followed by MDs and their families. In Japan, seating has been regarded as a medical practice since 2017. In the future, we would like to investigate the seating concept for individual therapists in detail.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to (a) determine the prevalence of need for wheel-chair seating intervention in two long-term care facilities in Vancouver, BC, (b) determine the extent of the residents' independent mobility within these facilities, and (c) explore the relationship between proper wheel-chair seating and positioning and independent mobility. The study population comprised 99 wheel-chair-using older adults. Four trained raters assessed need for seating intervention, using the Seating Identification Tool, and quantified extent and frequency of wheel-chair mobility, using the Nursing Home Life-Space Diameter. Results indicated that (a) there was a low need (overall 22%) for wheel-chair seating intervention in the two facilities, (b) half of the residents were independently mobile in their own rooms and on their units, but independent mobility decreased when greater distances needed to be travelled, and (c) the need for wheel-chair seating intervention was the only significant predictor of extent of independent mobility. These findings suggest that, where there are dedicated staff and equipment resources, the need for wheel-chair seating intervention can be minimized and independent mobility for long-term care residents maximized.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of undergraduate students’ predilection of seating pattern on their engagement and achievement in a collaborated blended learning in a science education classroom. The sample of this study constituted 120 third year science education students. This research employed a mixed method design by using qualitative and quantitative studies. Two instruments named: Student’s performance and predilection for seating pattern (SPAPFSP) and Students’ class experience with the U-shape seating pattern (SCEUSP), choice of seating pattern and why the choice were used. The Cronbach alpha reliability for the instrument ranged from 0.89 to 0.91. Results of the analysis using a 2 by three analysis of variance indicated that the students in the U-shaped classroom achieved more than those in the row-column arrangement. A paired sample t-test analysis test results reported that students preferred the U-shape seating pattern in their classrooms. The implication of this study is that the seating pattern adopted by a teacher influences the educational outcome of students. It was therefore recommended among others that the U-shape seating arrangement be used in a blended science instruction.

Abstract:

Background:Adaptive seating supports for cerebral palsy are recommended to develop and maintain optimum posture, and functional use of upper extremities.Objectives:To compare the effectiveness of different seating adaptations regarding postural alignment and related functions and to investigate the effects of these seating adaptations on different motor levels.Study design:Prospective study.Methods:A total of 20 children with spastic cerebral palsy (Gross Motor Function Classification System 3–5) were included. Postural control and function (Seated Postural Control Measure, Sitting Assessment Scale) were measured in three different systems: standard chair, adjustable seating system and custom-made orthosis.Results:In results of all participants ungrouped, there was a significant difference in most parameters of both measurement tools in favor of custom-made orthosis and adjustable seating system when compared to standard chair ( p < 0.0017). There was a difference among interventions in most of the Seated Postural Control Measure results in Level 4 when subjects were grouped according to Gross Motor Function Classification System levels. A difference was observed between standard chair and adjustable seating system in foot control, arm control, and total Sitting Assessment Scale scores; and between standard chair and custom-made orthosis in trunk control, arm control, and total Sitting Assessment Scale score in Level 4. There was no difference in adjustable seating system and custom-made orthosis in Sitting Assessment Scale in this group of children ( p < 0.017).Conclusion:Although custom-made orthosis fabrication is time consuming, it is still recommended since it is custom made, easy to use, and low-cost. On the other hand, the adjustable seating system can be modified according to a patient’s height and weight.Clinical relevanceIt was found that Gross Motor Function Classification System Level 4 children benefitted most from the seating support systems. It was presented that standard chair is sufficient in providing postural alignment. Both custom-made orthosis and adjustable seating system have pros and cons and the best solution for each will be dependent on a number of factors.

Abstract:

Circular seating arrangements can help instill a sense of belonging within classroom communities with overall positive effects on learning, emotions, and wellbeing. Yet students and their teachers within certain language classroom contexts, due to sociocultural limitations, may be relegated to learning in antisocial environments instilled partly by rank-and-file seating. Attributions for teacher demotivation can often lie in student misbehaviors, while student demotivation, silence, and resistance relate strongly to lack of bodily displays and physical affordances of interpersonal care, understanding, and trust that, if present, would contribute positively to many social aspects of their learning and identity formation. Specifically, rank-and-file seating constricts the area in the classroom most likely to dispose attention and interest to the learning and to others, whereas circular seating potentially expands this area, known as the action zone, to the whole classroom. Seating arrangements therefore can play an important role in the formation of interpersonal dynamics and identity formation among students and their teachers. In this paper, the purposes and ways of using circular seating in language classrooms will be explored from a social psychological perspective. Language teachers are invited to imagine and experiment with possibilities for uses of different seating arrangements in their own classrooms.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

This study examined the effects of three seating positions, face-to-face, side-by-side, at right-angles, on participants' heart rates, anxiety, and estimated duration of interview. The subjects were 84 students in a women's junior college who were divided into two groups, classmates and nonclassmates. The experiment used the three seating positions in each of the two groups during the interviews. Heart rates, anxiety scores, and estimated duration of interview were measured. There was a significant effect in different seating positions on the heart rates among the participants. The results suggest that the face-to-face seating produces increased arousal compared to the side-by-side and right-angled seating positions. However, this arousal seems to be more important among classmates than nonclassmates. The results and implications are discussed.

Abstract:

Urban parks have the characteristics of a relatively concentrated population. Seating as products with a high frequency of public use, they have significantly influenced residents’ activities in the epidemic environment. The current design of public seating in parks during the pandemic needs to meet the needs of different people. Thus, the purpose of this research is to meet the needs of the different populations in many aspects of urban park seating objects during the pandemic. This paper integrates literature to develop an urban park seating object strategy in the post-pandemic era. This paper analyses the design factors and design strategies of urban park seating from four aspects based on the current situation of the post-pandemic social environment. The four areas are function, aesthetics, materials, and safe social distance. The results show that the seat’s functional design is crucial. However, aesthetics, materials, and safety cannot be ignored. In addition, people are more concerned about seat safety in the post-pandemic period. Therefore, public seating design strategies for urban parks in the post-pandemic era are developed based on these four aspects.

Abstract:

[Objective] Although there are many kinds of materials for outdoor seating, there are also limitations. People prefer natural wood materials which are warm in winter and cool in summer. From the perspective of sustainable development, wood substitute for natural preservative wood is replaceable, so it has become the main material for outdoor seating. The purpose of this paper is to verify the advantages of wood and wood -like materials in the application of outdoor seating with expert evaluation methods. [Methods] The Del phi expert evaluation method was used to optimize the different schemes of wood and non -wood materials in the empirical study. Based on the three levels of “environment - space - people ”, the evaluation was carried out from multiple perspectives, from the urban ecological environment appeals of the top system of the macro root layer to the extension system of the meso-generative layer of the harmonious space and place system, as well as the micro-representational layer ontology system problems involving the form, function and material technology of outdoor seating. [Result] Finally, based on the quantitative data analysis of Delphi expert evaluation method and standard deviation comparison analysis results, the outdoor seating system design of wood and imitation wood materials was obtained by experts’ preference and affirmation. [Conclusion] T he material selection of outdoor seating can be mainly wood, and the acceptance of imitation wood outdoor seating is similar to wood. When selecting outdoor seating materials, we can gradually introduce composite anticorrosive wood materials to replace non -renewable natural anticorrosive wood.
