“…Participants in the stair walking group were instructed to continuously walk up and down the stairs at a self-selected pace for the duration of 4 min. The 4-min duration was selected as a novel duration that has demonstrated physiological benefits ( Gay et al, 2021 ), and is of a vigorous intensity and long enough stimulus to potential activate energy and fatigue brain circuits ( Stahl, 2002 ). Two taped lines were placed at the bottom and top of the flight of stairs to indicate the location of “turn around” points.…”

“…The purpose of the experiment described here was to examine the influence of a single 4-min bout of stair walking on FOE and FOF. Four-minutes was selected as the dose because it shows promise for improving physiological outcome ( Gay et al, 2021 ). Based on the studies summarized above, including the meta-analysis ( Loy et al, 2013 ), it was hypothesized that FOE would increase compared to both a pre-walk baseline and a seated control condition and that FOF would be unchanged.…”

PurposeEven low intensity exercise bouts of at least 15 min can improve feelings of energy (FOE) and reduce systolic blood pressure. However, little is known about the psychological outcomes of briefer exercise bouts, particularly for modes of exercise that are more intense than level walking, and readily available to many working adults. This study assessed the effects of a 4-min bout of stair walking on FOE and feelings of fatigue (FOF).MethodsThirty-six young adult participants were randomized to either stair walking or seated control groups. All participants walked on level-ground from a laboratory to a nearby stairwell (~90 s) and were seated for 4 min before beginning their experimental condition. Stair-walking participants walked up and down one flight of 16 stairs at their own pace for 4 min, while control participants remained seated during that time. Participants walked back to the laboratory for post-condition assessments. Measures of blood pressure, heart rate, rated perceived exertion (RPE), and the intensity of feelings of mental energy, mental fatigue, physical energy, and physical fatigue were assessed pre-and post-condition. Separate one-way ANOVAs were conducted on change scores for all variables.ResultsThe stair climbing group experienced significant increases in heart rate [F(1,34) = 13.167, p < 0.001] and RPE [F(1,34) = 93.844, p < 0.001] that were not observed in the seated control group. Four minutes of self-paced stair climbing resulted in small changes and non-significant differences within and between groups in blood pressure as well as FOE and FOF.ConclusionAlthough a 4-min self-paced exercise bout can convey short-term physiological health benefits, a 4-min bout of self-paced indoor stair walking in a stairwell was insufficient to lower blood pressure or change subjective FOE and fatigue in a sample that exhibited better than typical FOE and FOF at the pre-test.

Biomedical waste management (BMW) is in the spotlight due to the enormous impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic on public health and hospitals. Further, countries with large populationsgenerate significantly higher amounts and variety of both hazardous and non-hazardous BMW,leading to a need for a comprehensive strategy for effective BMW management. The improper,unscientific disposal of BMW causes environmental pollution and presents a continuing,significant health hazard to the individual and the community. The present study provides acomprehensive assessment of the various types of BMW generated and critiques their currentdisposal strategies. A detailed appraisal of current, in-place BMW management guidelines fromvarious world organisations is presented, and emerging protocols for BMW disposal during theongoing COVID-19 pandemic are assessed. Finally, new state-of-the-art technologies, which canlead to breakthrough improvements in various stages of BMW generation, collection, treatmentand disposal process, are examined. The secondary applications of BMW are highlighted, andrecommendations for enhancing the BMW lifecycle practices are presented.

“…It does so by collecting, saving, distributing and searching the meta-information resources of the sensor, the USIS then delivers the required meta-information to a service subscriber, while giving data such as location of sensor and sensor name to a manager. The E-R diagram of the UDS metadata consists of a table of sensors network, sensor node, sensor node H/W specification, transducer, transducer H/W specification, and sensing type specification, and the relationship diagram and detailed definition between each table is covered in the next section [26].…”

As the 5G environment is established due to the development of network and information and network technologies, wireless sensor network is drawing attention as a technology that will lead the information technology industry in the future. The sensor-based service must collect and process data recognized from various sensors and deliver information to users to understand. However, there is no research to visually express information about sensor resources to make it easier for users to understand. Therefore, this research proposes an efficient visualization model that is both realistic and economical. Then, we designed a scenario applied to real life and built a webpage.
