Review of Smart Wearables Sensor-Based Techniques and Machine Learning for Change of Direction Detection in Sports

Change of Direction (COD) is a critical movement skill during athletic gameplay. In team sports like football, basketball, and rugby, the on-field performance is often assessed by the ability to change direction quickly. Optimizing COD reduces injury risk and improves team outcomes. This review examines algorithmic approaches for detecting COD using wearable sensor data. Each...

Social capital in large-scale agile software product management: A multi-case study

Context Large fintech organizations are increasingly adopting agile methodologies to enhance product development capabilities. However, implementing agile at scale presents unique challenges, particularly related to collaboration essential for successful software product management (SPM). Social capital, comprising structural, cognitive, and relational dimensions, may play a crucial role in facilitating the collaboration needed to overcome these challenges....

Intersectional Fairness in Healthcare AI: A Pipeline-Wide Evaluation of Multi-Stage Mitigation Strategies

Let’s Go Bananas: Beyond Bounding Box Representations for Fisheye Camera-Based Object Detection in Autonomous Driving

Object detection is a mature problem in autonomous driving, with pedestrian detection being one of the first commercially deployed algorithms. It has been extensively studied in the literature. However, object detection is relatively less explored for fisheye cameras used for surround-view near-field sensing. The standard bounding-box representation fails in fisheye cameras due to heavy radial...

Green Software Engineering: A Dual-Perspective Overview of Stakeholder and Societal Interpretations

Decoding the Tackle: Using a Machine Learning Approach to Understand Direct Head Contact Events in Elite Women’s Rugby

ABSTRACT Concerns about the cumulative effects of head acceleration events in rugby are growing, but how tackle events lead to direct head contact in women’s rugby remains underexplored. This cross-sectional study aimed to develop and evaluate a machine learning model to identify characteristics associated with direct head contact and incorrect tackler head placement in elite...

Ultrasensitive Pressure Measurement Using an Extrinsic Fabry–Pérot Interferometer (EFPI) Sensor

This paper advances the development of Extrinsic Fabry–Pérot interferometry (EFPI) for high-precision pressure sensing. Presented is an EFPI featuring a diameter of 800 μm with a 7.4 μm diaphragm thickness, demonstrating a resolution of 3.35 mPa and a sensitivity of 149 nm/kPa positioning it amongst the most sensitive fibre optic pressure sensors ever developed, establishing...
