Advancements in automation and artificial intelligence have significantly impacted accessibility for individuals with visual impairments, particularly in the realm of bus public transportation. Effective bus detection and bus point-of-view (POV) classification are crucial for enhancing the independence of visually impaired individuals. This study introduces the Improved-YOLOv10, a novel model designed to tackle challenges in bus identification and pov classification by integrating Coordinate Attention (CA) and Adaptive Kernel Convolution (AKConv) into the YOLOv10 framework. The Improved YOLOv10 advances the YOLOv10 architecture through the incorporation of CA, which enhances long-range dependency modeling and spatial awareness, and AKConv, which dynamically adjusts convolutional kernels for superior feature extraction. These enhancements aim to improve both detection accuracy and efficiency, essential for real-time applications in assistive technologies. Evaluation results demonstrate that the Improved-YOLOv10 offers significant improvements in detection performance, including better Accuracy, Precision and Recall compared to YOLOv10. The model also exhibits reduced computational complexity and storage requirements, highlighting its efficiency. While the classification results show some trade-offs, with slightly decreased overall F1 score, the complexity of Giga Floating Point Operations (GFLOPs), Parameters, and Weight/MB in the Improved-YOLOv10 remains advantageous for classification tasks. The model’s architectural improvements contribute to its robustness and efficiency, making it a suitable choice for real-time applications and assistive technologies.

鍼灸刺激により局所と遠隔部の血流が増加するメカニズムは、上脊髄反射が関与するとされてきた．しかし、筆者らの予備実験では、上脊髄反射の関与だけでは説明できない事象が観察された．血管拡張に一酸化窒素が関与することと，一酸化窒素は血中に拡散し，ヘモグロビンと結合することから，鍼刺激によって発生した一酸化窒素が血液で運ばれ、遠隔部で血管拡張を引き起こすという仮説を立てた．本研究では，ヒトを対象に指尖容積脈波計を用いて経皮酸素飽和度（SpO2）と心拍数（HR）を，また血流スコープを用いて血管径を測定することにより，一酸化窒素の存在とそれによ
る血管拡張現象の検証実験をおこなった．その結果，鍼刺激部位と測定部位との距離が近いほど，鍼刺激から血管拡張が生じるまでの時間が短かった．このことから，鍼刺激により発生した一酸化窒素が，血中に拡散し，ヘモグロビンと結合し，末梢血管に運搬され，遠隔部末梢血管拡張に寄与していることが推定できる．

<p> [Purpose] This study aimed to determine whether applying electrical stimulation to the deltoid and extensor digitorum muscles could lead to a reduction in fixation force during shoulder joint adduction and grip strength. [Participants and Methods] Fifteen healthy adult males participated in this study. In the shoulder adduction force experiment, the middle fibers of the deltoid muscle of the dominant arm were electrically stimulated. In the grip strength experiment, the extensor digitorum muscle of the dominant arm was electrically stimulated. The forces exerted with and without the electrical stimulation were measured. [Results] The torque of the shoulder adduction force decreased significantly with electrical stimulation, while no significant change was observed in normalized grip strength with electrical stimulation. [Conclusion] The response of antagonist muscles to electrical stimulation varied according to location.</p>

In recent years, numerous convolutional neural network (CNN) models have been proposed to achieve a high performance. Among them, YOLOv8 is a suitable model for edge devices with limited hardware resources because YOLOv8 is designed with consideration for deployment on edge devices such as consumer electronics. However, CNNs in edge devices must be robust against out-of-distribution data, and their robustness against out-of-distribution data has not been sufficiently verified. This study verifies the robustness of YOLOv8 for out-of-distribution data. We measured the out-of-distribution accuracy of lightweight models trained on ImageNet running in real time on the YOLOv8 backbone and edge devices. We also measured shape bias, the tendency to emphasize shape when categorizing, because it is known to be related to the robustness of out-of-distribution data. We trained YOLOv8 with ImageNet and evaluated it based on the out-of-distribution accuracy and shape bias. The experimental results show that the YOLOv8 backbone has a lower out-of-distribution accuracy than the other lightweight models. Moreover, the shape bias may facilitate the learning of feature representations that are useful for downstream tasks.

Eating independently is a significant challenge for visually impaired individuals, and meal support devices can help them achieve this goal. Key information such as food types, plate positions, and the amount of remaining food is essential for creating an effective meal support system. This study proposes a method to detect and identify various food types, locate each plate on the dining table, and calculate the remaining food on each plate, expressed as a percentage. The research consists of three main steps. First, we modified the open-source UECFOOD100 dataset, selecting 63 classes of food with 11,140 images for food identification. The YOLO detection model was then trained to identify the food types, while a pre-trained YOLO model was used to detect and locate plates on the table. The bounding boxes generated by the detection model were used to determine the plate positions. Finally, an image processing technique calculated the remaining food on each plate, displaying the value as a percentage. The YOLO algorithm achieved precision, recall, mAP50, and mAP50-95 scores of 0.656, 0.537, 0.596, and 0.425, respectively. The system effectively determines the remaining food percentage on plates, aiding visually impaired individuals in meal management.

Vertebral force during manual lifting causes lower back pain (LBP) among workers in various occupational fields. Continuous monitoring of vertebral force is required for preventing LBP. Vertebral force can be measured directly by implant devices; however, these implant devices are difficult to install on general workers. Non-invasive technologies such as an optical motion capture system could estimate vertebral force, however, special measurement devices are necessary. The objective of this study is to propose non-invasive measurement method for vertebral force using ordinary digital camera. The proposed method predicts vertebral forces by machine learning and sagittal plane posture during manual lifting. The proposed method predicted vertebral forces for 48 trials manual lifting via leave-one-out-cross-validation. Training and testing of the proposed method used OrthoLoad database that included sagittal 2D images and vertebral force obtained from implant device. The results showed that the proposed method using model tree algorithm could predict vertebral force by greater than 0.7 correlation with actual values. These results indicate possibility that the proposed method can be used for vertebral force assessments using ordinary devices.

Low levels of physical activity in individuals with chronic pain can lead to additional functional impairment and disability. This study aims to investigate the predictors of low physical activity levels in individuals with chronic pain, and to determine the accuracy of the artificial neural network used to analyze these predictors. Community-dwelling older adults with chronic pain (n = 103) were surveyed for their physical activity levels and classified into low, moderate, or high physical activity level groups. Chronic pain-related measurements, physical function assessment, and clinical history, which all influence physical activity, were also taken at the same time. Logistic regression analysis and analysis of multilayer perceptron, an artificial neural network algorithm, were performed. Both analyses revealed that history of falls was a predictor of low levels of physical activity in community-dwelling older adults. Multilayer perceptron analysis was shown to have excellent accuracy. Our results emphasize the importance of fall prevention in improving the physical activity levels of community-dwelling older adults with chronic pain. Future cross-sectional studies should compare multiple analysis methods to show results with improved accuracy.
