Effect of Six Months of Using Thermoplastic Polyurethane and Rubber Military Boots on Lower Limb Muscle Activities During Running
Authors: Piran Hamlabadi Milad , Jafarnezhadgero AmirAli
Published: March 2024

Background: The age of boots is a significant factor that can impact the risk of injury during daily activities. Conversely, military personnel rely on their footwear to meet the physical demands of their daily professional tasks. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate how wearing thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and rubber military boots for six months affects lower limb muscle activity during running. Methods: Thirty healthy male participants were provided with two new pairs of rubber and TPU military boots and instructed to wear them for six months. Electromyography signals were recorded during a pre-test and after six months while the participants ran at a speed of 3.2 m/s. Statistical analysis was conducted using a two-way ANOVA with repeated measures, with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results did not show a significant overall effect of "boots" or "time" on muscle activities during running. However, there were significant boot-by-time interactions for muscle activities during different phases of the running cycle. These interactions were observed for the tibialis anterior (P = 0.037, η2p = 0.146), gastrocnemius medialis (P = 0.023, η2p = 0.172), and gluteus medius (P = 0.038, η2p = 0.144) activities during the loading phase, tibialis anterior activity at the mid-stance phase (P = 0.003, η2p = 0.278), and gastrocnemius medialis activity during the push-off phase (P = 0.046, η2p = 0.135). Conclusions: Wearing military boots appears to affect muscle activities, particularly the tibialis anterior, in healthy males. These findings underscore the importance of careful boot selection for running activities. Understanding the reasons behind differences in muscle activity between TPU and rubber military boots can inform further research and the development of specialized footwear tailored to specific operational needs.

Background: Inadequate mattresses can pose risks to users, and the routine inspection of mattresses often falls short in various healthcare settings. Objectives: To evaluate the physical condition of mattresses in hospitals and long-term care facilities and to explore the association with management practices regarding procurement, handling, and maintenance. Methods: This analytical descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 13 hospitals and 5 long-term care facilities, examining a total of 278 mattresses through proportional stratified sampling. The Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Multiple Regression Analysis were utilized for data analysis. Results: Only 9.9% of the mattresses met the physical evaluation criteria, highlighting a significant gap in mattress management standardization. The highest compliance was noted in the utilization of waterproof coverings, whereas the lowest was in mattress labeling. Factors significantly influencing the scores included the involvement of nurses in the evaluation process, periodic replacement of coverings, type of administration, assessment of mattress and covering integrity during bed making, and the nature of the institution. Conclusions: Due to inadequate physical conditions in both hospital and long-term care settings, the low approval rate of mattresses underscores the urgent need for standardized mattress management practices.

Published: March 2024

Smart cities are metropolitan areas that use sophisticated technology to increase efficiency, sustainability, and overall quality of life. The potential for transformation is tremendous, with applications ranging from Internet of Things (IoT)-driven infrastructure to data-driven governance. Effectively handling the abundant data produced in smart cities requires stringent security and privacy protocols. This research aims to tackle these difficulties by introducing the suggested Artificial Intelligence-based Data Management System (AI-DMS) for Smart Cities. AI-DMS seeks to optimize the data processing pipeline, guaranteeing effectiveness throughout the process, from data extraction to publication. Implementing a Multi-Level Sensitive Model is a notable addition, as it classifies data into three categories: sensitive, quasi-sensitive, and public. This allows for more nuanced sharing of data. Privacy preservation is accomplished using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a comprehensive technique encompassing feature mapping, selection, normalization, and transformation. The simulation results demonstrate that AI-DMS outperforms other methods. It achieves a Data Quality Score of 95.12% (training) and 93.76% (testing), a Privacy Preservation Rate of 85.23% (training) and 82.76% (testing), a Processing Efficiency of 90.54% (training) and 88.76% (testing), a Sensitivity Model Accuracy of 80.12% (training) and 78.45% (testing), and a Data Access Time of 22.76 ms (training) and 21.32 ms (testing). The results highlight AI-DMS as a reliable and effective system, guaranteeing superior smart city data management that is secure and precise. This contribution aligns with the changing urban scene, offering improvements in decision-making based on data while still ensuring privacy and security.

Published: March 2024

As the user base expands, social network data becomes more intricate, making analyzing the interconnections between various entities challenging. Various graph visualization technologies are employed to analyze extensive and intricate network data. Network graphs inherently possess intricacy and may have overlapping elements. Graph clustering is a basic endeavor that aims to identify communities or groupings inside networks. Recent research has mostly concentrated on developing deep learning techniques to acquire a concise representation of graphs, which is then utilized with traditional clustering methods such as k-means or spectral clustering techniques. Multiplying these two-step architectures is challenging and sometimes results in unsatisfactory performance. This is mostly due to the lack of a goal-oriented graph encoding developed explicitly for the clustering job. This work introduces a novel Deep Learning (DL) method called Deep Attentional Implanted Graph Clustering (DAIGC), designed to achieve goal-oriented clustering. Our approach centers on associated graphs to thoroughly investigate both aspects of data in graphs. The proposed DAIGC technique utilizes a Graph Attention Autoencoder (GAA) to determine the significance of nearby nodes about a target node. This allows encoding a graph's topographical structure and node value into a concise representation. Based on this representation, an interior product decoder has been trained to rebuild the graph structure. The performance of the proposed approach has been evaluated on four distinct types and sizes of real-world intricate networks, varying in vertex count from 𝑁=102 𝑡𝑜 𝑁=107. The performance of the suggested methods is evaluated by comparing them with two established and commonly used graph clustering techniques. The testing findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of processing speed and visualization compared to the state-of-the-art algorithms.

Published: March 2024

In several nations, the majority of heart attacks lead to fatality prior to patients receiving any kind of medical intervention. The traditional healthcare system is mostly passive, requiring patients to initiate contact with healthcare services independently. People often do not request the treatment if they are unconscious during a heart disease episode. The use of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) methods offers significant advantages in addressing the issue of caring for patients with cardiac problems. These techniques may transform service delivery into ubiquitous and activate healthcare services. Low-cost remote monitoring systems are essential to implementing a widespread healthcare service. In this article, we proposed a cost-effective Personal Health Care Device(PHCD) based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The PHCD transmits user somatic signals to data acquisition devices using a LoRa (Long-range and low-power) wireless communication network. The received data is uploaded to the cloud using IoT platforms like Adafruit IO. Further, various Machine learning (ML) algorithms, Naïve Bayes, ANN, CNN, and LSTM, were applied to collected data to predict heart rate and SpO2 behavior. The performance results of different forecast models were compared to identify precise modeling and reliable forecasts to prevent emergency cardiovascular conditions.

What inalienable rights belong to those with intellectual disabilities? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Ellen, who has Down syndrome, overhears her older siblings, and caretakers, talking about her. They are discussing her recent pregnancy, and the suicide of the person they believe coerced her into sex, or raped her. While Ellen doesn’t understand everything they are talking about, she understands there is a life growing inside her, and they are debating if they should have her keep it, abort it, or give it up for adoption. They believe, if Ellen keeps the child, she will be poorly equipped for motherhood and the burden of childcare will fall on them. Later, Ellen takes matters into her own hands, gathers what little belongings she has, and heads out to the street to hitchhike away.

Is humanity worth saving? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, an injured war veteran and a woman are brought to an alien ship. The alien explains humanity will, in another generation, move beyond its planet with bases throughout the solar system and eventually, travel the stars. This concerns the aliens as they have found some sentient species to be violent space travelers that cause death and disorder to the larger polity. As such, the aliens have gotten in the habit of visiting sentient beings just before they emerge from their planet to decide if they should foster, or exterminate the species. While they have reviewed the history of world media, they find talking to the specifies and asking them to defend the future of their species, is also helpful in the decision-making process. The veteran argues for saving humanity, while the woman argues humanity is inherently violent, dangerous, and not worthy of a future in the stars. The debate goes for several hours, covering several topics, until the alien decides, and leaves them to report back.
