To satisfy with the increased requirements of cost reduction, labor saving, and rapid construction, the purpose of this study is to investigate the structural behavior of PSC monolithic and spliced girders. Three tests were conducted on small-scale girder specimens. This paper presents the result of experimental studies in terms of the load-deflection behavior. Different joint type and tendon amount were investigated as major variables. The monolithic girder was arranged with three tendons. The spliced girder consisted of five segments connected by three tendons. In addition, five-segmented girders connected by more than three tendons were built to examine the effect of the tendon amount. The experimental results show the difference of behavior between monolithic and spliced girders. Moreover, nonlinear finite element method analysis was utilized to verify the experimental result.

The accident rate is obtained by dividing the number of accidents by the number of regular workers. In the case off construction work, however, the accident rates are not accurately figured out, because they use the approximate number of regular workers, which is estimated based on the amount of construction work and the labor ratio. In addition, the current accident rate estimation method does not reflect the characteristics of construction types, such as building, civil, plant, etc. This study is conducted with the aim of presenting a supplementary method of accident rate assessment that incorporates the characteristics of type of construction. For the purpose of this, correlation and regression analysis are executed to verify the relationships between number of accidents and the amount of construction contract, and several equations are derived which shows the relationship between the number of accidents by accident types and amount of constract by construction types. The result shows that the non-residential work amount and the number of accidents showed a proportional relationship, while the civil work amount and the number of accidents showed an inversely proportional relationship. The results of this research are expected to calibrate the construction accident rates and to be used as an auxiliary indicator to determine the trend of annual accident rates by comparing the values with usual years.

The purpose of this study is provide appropriate arms control measures between South and North Koreas by comparing and analyzing the former proposals and agreements in the past and the current Moon Government's approach representing the 9.19 military agreement. For this, I established the most appropriate framework for analysis through comparing and analyzing the arms control theories. The policies of the past governments and of the current Moon Jae-in government are analyzed. The most highlighted characteristic was that the arms control policies were projected by not from the military confidence, but political confidence building measures or both concurrently. In conclusion, I suggested the strategies of projecting confidence building measures and arms control or disarmament in the process of projecting the peace settlement. Nonetheless, the most important point is that the policies of arms control and unification should be pushed ahead complementally.

This study aims to improve the family friendly certification system by analyzing the actual experience of family friendly certified companies with the certification's incentives and their demand for new incentives. We analyzed 2018 survey data of family friendly certified company incentives and interviewed representatives from 9 family friendly certified companies. First, the use of incentives differs according to the level of corporate classification, number of employees, industry, certification continuation training, and incentive impact. Current family friendly certification incentives indicate that the utilization rate of incentives is high when small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with less than 300 employees have newly received family friendly certification. Second, the use of the certification mark significantly differs by industry, certification duration, and incentive impact. Interviews with the companies' family friendly certification managers revealed that the incentives that companies use mainly are the Public Procurement Service bid points and priority immigration service. Large corporations hope for strong incentives, such as the National Tax Service's deferred tax investigation, interest rate cuts for bank loans, and corporate tax cuts. Lastly, the family friendly certification mark is a representative incentive used by 60% of family friendly certified companies. For the qualitative growth and stabilization of the family friendly certification system, the family friendly certification mark should be improved to become a more attractive incentive.

In recent years, the demand for external window cleaning has increased, but the process is a very dangerous manpower-dependent operation. In addition, it is difficult to clean at the desired frequency in a business that values cleanliness. Therefore, there is a need to automate this work. This paper presents the concept of a device that can be attached to a specific window and clean the window continuously. The economic feasibility of this device was analyzed. The estimated manufacturing cost of the equipment was approximately 10 million won, but the possible investment cost was at least 9.8 million won for five years of endurance and 103 million won for 10 years of endurance. Therefore, the expected savings well exceed the equipment cost, and it was evaluated as having economic feasibility. Since this study analyzed only quantitative indicators, the expected cost reduction due to a reduction in safety accidents, productivity improvement, construction time reduction, and quality improvement was not considered. Therefore, it is expected that the calculated economic feasibility will be more accurate if the cost reduction effect by the automation equipment is calculated by adding the expected values not considered in this study.

The purpose of this paper is to ccompare and analyze North Korean cyber attacks and our responses by government, from the Roh Moo-hyun administration to the Moon Jae-in administration. The current conflict of interests on the Korean peninsula, such as the United States, China, and Russia, is leading to a conflict for the leadership of a new world order in cyberspace. Cyber attacks are accelerating and threats are rising. Cyber threats exhibit several characteristics. Above all, it is difficult to identify or track the subject of the threat. Also, with the development of information and communication technology, attack technology has become more intelligent, and it is not easy to prepare a means to respond. Therefore, it is necessary to improve continuous and preemptive response capacity for national cybersecurity, and to establish governance among various actors, such as international cooperation between countries or private experts.

With property values of buildings rising, interior construction works are also increasing globally. Interior construction technology has developed into building information modeling(BIM) that can estimate and integrate material quantities. Two-dimensional(2D) drawings and three-dimensional (3D) modeling are becoming a trend owing to the demanding on-site cost and process. 2D drawings and 3D modeling have both advantages and disadvantages that give rise to defects during interior construction work. The field problems, 2D drawings, 3D modeling, and preliminary risk factors of interior construction work were analyzed to identify real problems. Based on the problem analysis, various problems were derived, such as (1) communication with purchasers, (2) communication with workers, and (3) comprehension of the drawings. In this study, a checklist for quality improvement of interior construction was proposed to address the aforementioned issues.

This study empirically investigated the relationship between workers' safety behavior and safety leadership, trust in leader, workers' involvement, and safety knowledge in the enterprise, and analyzed the role of the factors to identify and analyze factors that enhance workers' safety behavior that contribute to the prevention of major accidents in the enterprise. When industrial accidents occur, companies have to bear huge loss costs due to direct costs of compensating the victims and indirect costs such as human loss, material loss, production loss, and time loss. Based on the results of previous studies, this study investigated the effects of managerial safety leadership and workers' trust in leader on safety behavior through the mediation of workers' involvement and safety knowledge among production, technical, and labor workers in the manufacturing industry. Statistical analysis was conducted on 271 manufacturing workers using SPSS and PLS. The results showed that safety leadership and trust in leader can lead to workers' involvement and have a positive effect on workers' safety knowledge acquisition, which can lead to workers' safety behavior.

This article aims to shed light on the wartime labor mobilization of prisoners on a large scale in/across colonial Korea and beyond during the late wartime period. More specifically, this article reveals the logic and mode of mobilization, and sorts out nationwide mobilization cases in colonial Korea. To this end, this article draws on documents and magazines published by the criminal administration of the Japanese Government-General of Korea, as well as the memoirs of prisoners and prison staff including prison administrators and prison chaplains. With the onset of the wartime system, the labor work in prisons centered on the production of military supplies. In 1943, the labor mobilization began to organize the National Protection Corps and dispatch them to remote workplaces. For example, at the requests of the military, prisoners were selected and sent to Hainan Island, while others were sent to military factories and mining fields in the northern part of the country. The authorities specified and adjusted the criteria for imprisonment based on education, physical strength, and other physical and mental conditions. Unconverted ideological offenders were excluded from the mobilization, and instead put under separate control. In preparation for mobilization, the prisoners trained in military drills, received Japanese language education, and underwent assimilation as imperial subjects through the preaching in prison. In order to induce prisoners to volunteer, a legislation system based on the shortening of the prison terms, including the parole system, was also promoted under the wartime system. As a result, prisoners were forced to work harder and faster even under the lowest of wages, poor food and poor housing conditions, and they also filled vacancies in managerial positions by serving as supervisory assistants. The reward system for them, however, did not function properly towards the end of the war, and the number of escapes and infectious outbreaks, as well as mortality rates rapidly increased under the harsh conditions.
