Empirically derived cut-points for sedentary behaviour for weekdays and weekends : are we sitting differently? (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Clarke-Cornwell, A., Farragher, T., Cook, P., Dugdill, L., & Granat, M. (2015, June). Empirically derived cut-points for sedentary behaviour for weekdays and weekends : are we sitting differently?. Presented at International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement, Limerick, Ireland

Introduction: Sedentary behaviour (SB) is associated with many adverse health outcomes. Studies that have used accelerometers to define sedentary time usually adopt a <100 counts per minute (cpm) threshold for classifying SB; however, this cut-poi...

Meta-analysis of metabolic cost of amputee walking shows only a marginal improvement in cost when using ESR feet compared to conventional SACH feet (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Gardiner, J., Bari, Z., Kenney, L., & Howard, D. (2015, June). Meta-analysis of metabolic cost of amputee walking shows only a marginal improvement in cost when using ESR feet compared to conventional SACH feet. Presented at ISPO World Congress 2015, Lyon, France

Background: Energy storage and return (ESR) prosthetic feet are designed to store strain energy during stance and release that energy during push-off and, hence, promote a more energy efficient gait. However, despite ESR feet being prescribed for app...

Managing emergent ethical concerns for software engineering in society (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Rashid, A., Moore, K., May-Chahal, C., & Chitchyan, R. (2015, May). Managing emergent ethical concerns for software engineering in society. Presented at IEEE/ACM 37th IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering, Florence, Italy

This paper presents an initial framework for managing emergent ethical concerns during software engineering in society projects. We argue that such emergent considerations can neither be framed as absolute rules about how to act in relation to fixed...
