The wheelchair is one of the most common assistive technologies for people with motor impairment, due to its environmentally friendly features in terms of mobility and comfort. However, the operational method for conventional wheelchair is still inconvenience for people with finger problems. Therefore, in the project , a novel control method to operate an electric wheelchair, using hand gestures ( wrist rotation) is developed. Sixty-five (65) participants were involved in this study. Five hand gestures were considered and studied for forward, backward, right, left, and stop maneuvers while considering human ergonomics factor. In this study, the stop maneuver was determined based on the most comfortable hand position to mitigate a fatigue experience, with two gesture classifying methods further investigated. The first method based on threshold has a promising accuracy of 96%, and 91% precision. This method however requires a calibration every time a new user is introduced. The second method, a Naïve Bayes approach, was observed to solve the problem, as it has about 99% of both the accuracy and the precision. The evaluation of this method was then conducted with six participants that operated the wheelchair to follow the trajectories from start to end. The results showed that the participants comfortably controlled the developed wheelchair system to the goal without any collision. Results from experiments indicate that the proposed approach has high accuracy and the potential to solve the problem related to finger dependencies and hand fatigue.

The increasing number of criminal cases in Indonesia indirectly affects the number of cases handled in the Department of Forensics and Legal medicine. Forensic specialists play an important role in criminal investigation process by conducting medical examination of the corpse. This study aimed to present the profile of the corpses examined in the Department Forensic and Legal Medicine of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, Indonesia, during 2013-2017. This was a descriptive retrospective study based on data of the corpses examined at the Department of Forensics and Legal Medicine of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, Indonesia, in 2013-2017. During the period of study, 1,692 corpses were handled with 1,258 males (74%), 430 females (25%), and 4 with unidentified sex (1%). most of the corpses were 46-65 years old (30%) and 26-45 years old (29%) when they died. There were 24 corpses with multiple cases, making a total number of cases of 1,716 cases with an average number of cases handled each month of 29 cases. From these cases, 1,303 cases (76%) only involved external examination and 413 cases (24%) underwent autopsy (external and internal examinations). The highest number of cases was seen in 2014 (432 cases, 25%). Regarding the type of cases, Death on Arrival (DOA) cases was the most frequently seen (28%), followed by traffic accidents (26%), sudden death (22%), infanticide (7%), train accident (5%), and murders (5%). The most frequent cause of death in murder cases was sharp trauma. In conclusions, DOA and traffic accident are the dominant cases handled at the Forensics and Legal Medicine Department of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. The high number of DOA indicates the high number of patients who come late for treatment. This needs further studies to clarify the situation in order to avoid future DOA cases. In addition, the risk factors related to the death due to traffic accidents in Indonesia need to be determined to reduce the number of fatalities in traffic accidents.

Selama periode penelitian, terdapat 1.692 jenazah yang ditangani, terdiri dari 1.258 jenazah laki-laki (74%), 430 perempuan (25%), dan 4 jenazah (1%) tidak teridentifikasi jenis kelaminnya. Kelompok usia terbanyak adalah usia 46-65 tahun (30%) dan usia 26-45 tahun (29%).

Introduction: Sexual assault in women and children are very prominent among other abuse. Knowledge related to the characteristics of sexual assault is vital for optimal handling of sexual assault cases. Aims: This research aimed to evaluate the characteristics of sexual assault cases in referral hospital (type A hospital) in West Java and West Sumatera provinces. Method: This research is a retrospective descriptive research. The samples were patients suspected of being victims of sexual assault, examined from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2018. Results: The alleged sexual assault victims are dominated by women, unmarried, with the most age groups of 10-19 years. Most victims come to the hospital within a week after the case. The primary type of sexual assault experienced by the victims is vaginal penetration. Most perpetrators were someone who was well known by the victims. The perpetrators prefer to act at noon in a private place. Medical records revealed that in most cases only signs of violence on the anogenital region, and no trace on other body parts. Conclusion: The characteristic of sexual assault from both provinces are almost similar. The difference that stands out lies in the level of education of victims. Knowledge about the aspects of sexual assault cases is essential for health service to provide optimal health service to sexual violence victims as well as the prevention efforts.
