This document discusses biomechanics concepts related to levers and forces. It begins by defining the three types of levers - first, second, and third order levers - and provides examples of each from the human body. It then discusses forces, explaining that a force can cause motion, changes in motion, or changes in an object's shape. Newton's three laws of motion are introduced. The document concludes by covering the center of gravity/mass and factors relating to stability such as base of support and line of gravity.

Posture - a perquisite for functional abilities in daily life. Posture is a combination of anatomy and physiology with inherent application of bio-mechanics and kinematics. Sitting, standing, walking are all functional activities depending on the ability of the body to support that posture to carry out each activity. Injuries and pathologies either postural or structural can massively change the bio-mechanics of posture and thus affect functional abilities.
In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.

Web of science is discussing the importance of biomechanics beyond kinetics and kinematics. The application of 3D printing and orthopedic biomechanics are key to anthropology in the 21th Century for good health. Nothing is important to man rather than living healthy. SO, the knowledge of the sub division of science to study human body and her force application becomes important.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
3. LEVERS
The
function of a lever in the body is either:
To
overcome a force greater than the effort used eg a
crowbar / a calf raise
To move something a greater distance eg an overarm
throw
4. A
lever consists of:
A fulcrum or pivot point – a joint
Load – could be gravity, body weight,
added weight e.g. gym equipment
Effort – provided by muscular
contractions
THE LEVERS IN THE BODY ARE THE
BONES OF THE SKELETON –
LEVERS CAN BE ADDED IN THE FORM OF
SPORTING IMPLEMENTS
RACKETS
CLUBS
BATS
5. Sporting levers
•Golf clubs are selected according to
length – a longer club will produce a longer
lever and will send the ball further
•A defender in hockey will use a heavier
stick
•An overarm serves in tennis makes the
most use of the power by making the lever
as long as possible
•A cricketer hitting for 6 will play the shot
to make the most of a long lever produced
by his body, arms and the bat.
7. First Order Lever
The
fulcrum is in the middle
The load is at one end and the
effort applied at the other
Example
in the body =
Joint at the neck
8. Second Order Lever
The
Load is in the middle
The fulcrum is at one end, the
effort applied at the other
Example
in the body =
The ankle joint
9. Third Order Lever
The
effort is in the middle
The load is at one end, the fulcrum at the
other
Example
in the body =
most of our skeletal
muscles
10. FORCES
Before looking at sport & movement, we must understand
FORCE
A force is a push or pull that alters or tends to alter the state of
motion of a body
A Force can cause a body at rest to move – (taking a football
penalty- the force applied with the foot make the ball move)
A force can cause a moving body to:
Change direction – (returning a tennis shot)
Accelerate – (a sprint finish)
Decelerate – slowing down at the bottom of the ski slope)
Change an object’s shape – (jumping on a trampoline)
11. If
a force is applied through the middle of an
object – it causes LINEAR MOTION
If
a force is applied off-centre it will cause spin or
ANGULAR MOTION
12. Many sporting examples are a
combination of both angular and linear
motion:
•The upper body shows
“LINEAR MOTION”
•Whilst the legs show
“ANGULAR MOTION”
This combination is called “GENERAL MOTION”
13. •Internal forces are generally produced by
concentric muscle contraction
•External forces could be:
•Gravity
•Air resistance (water resistance)
•Friction
•Reaction
14. NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION
NEWTON’S FIRST LAW
“A body continues in a state of rest or of
uniform velocity unless acted upon by an
external force” Law of inertia
15. NEWTON’S SECOND LAW
“When a force acts on an object, the rate of change
of momentum experienced by the object is
proportional to the size of the force and takes
place in the direction in which the force acts” –
Law of acceleration
17. Consider: An ice hockey puck is hit by a player & travels across the
ice to rebound from the far wall of the rink.
Assume that the friction between the puck & the ice & the air
resistance are negligible, & that the puck travels from R to L
Use Newton’s Laws of motion to explain
what is happening in the following
situations:
1.While the puck is stationary before
being hit
2.While the stick is in contact with the
puck
3.While the puck is travelling across the
ice before it hits the wall
4.While the puck is in contact with the
wall
18. TASK:
Write a short piece to apply what you know from
today’s lesson to your selected sport
Can you explain how forces are functioning to:
•Cause something to move
•Change direction
•Accelerate
•Decelerate
•Change the shape of an object
19. Selected sport: trampolining
•Forces acting - pull of gravity makes the performer
return to the trampoline – force of the performers
muscles changes the shape of the trampoline bed –
the force of the trampoline against the performer
will cause them to change direction
•Application of Newton’s Laws - External force of
performers muscles causes movement (1st Law of
acceleration) – The greater the distortion of the bed,
the greater the force acting to push the performer
upward – they will therefore go higher (2nd Law of
acceleration) – The action of landing on the bed
causes the reaction of sending the performer upward
(3rd Law of reaction)
20. Centre of Gravity / Centre of Mass
“The point at which the
body is balanced in all
directions”
21. Centre of Gravity & stability
The
lower the centre of gravity is – the more
stable the position
22. Base of support
The
larger the base of support – the more stable
the position
23. Line of Gravity
An
imaginary line straight down from the
centre of gravity / mass
•If the line of gravity is at the centre
of the base of support – the position is
more stable
•If the line of gravity is near the edge
of the base of support – the position is
less stable
•If the line of gravity is outside the
base of support – the position is
unstable
24.
25. To work out the centre of gravity of a 2D shape Hang
the shape from one point & drop a weighted
string from any point on the object
Mark the line where the string drops
Repeat this by hanging the object from another point
Mark the line again where the string drops
The centre of gravity is where the two lines cross
