The aim of this study was to investigate musculo-skeletal symtoms and working conditions of university library's librarians to search for the risk factors related to musculo-skeletal symptoms. The study subjects were 266 librarians who were working at 20 university libraries. A self-recording questionnaire was used to investigate the general characteristics, working conditions, job intensity, job satisfaction and stress, education of musculoskeletal disorders and nature of musculoskeletal symptom. Statistical analysis was done by using t-test and multiple regression analysis. The complaint proportion of self-reported positive musculoskeletal symptoms was 62.5% and that of severe musculoskeletal symptoms was 26.1%. Multiple regression analysis showed that low satisfaction of working conditions, high job intensity, irregular mealtime, job stress were closely related to the positive rate of musculoskeletal symptoms. Therefore, it will be necessary to make efforts to reduce the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders improving working conditions and mitigating the job intensity.

Multi-distributed web cluster model built for high availability E-Business model exposes internal system nodes on its structural characteristics and has a potential that normal job performance is impossible due to the intentional prevention and attack by an illegal third party. Therefore, the security system which protects the structured system nodes and can correspond to the outflow of information from illegal users and unfair service requirements effectively is needed. Therefore the suggested distributed invasion detection system is the technology which detects the illegal requirement or resource access of system node distributed on open network through organic control between SC-Agents based on the shared memory of SC-Server. Distributed invasion detection system performs the examination of job requirement packet using Detection Agent primarily for detecting illegal invasion, observes the job process through monitoring agent when job is progressed and then judges the invasion through close cooperative works with other system nodes when there is access or demand of resource not permitted.

Objectives. This study was conducted to evaluate the association between upper extremity musculoskeletal symptoms and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment(RULA) in vehicle assembly line workers. The goal of this study is to show the feasibility of RULA as a checklist for work related musculoskeletal symptoms (WMSDs) in Korean workers. Methods. The total number of 199 people from the department of assembly and 115 people from the department of Quality Control(QC) in automotive plant were subjects for this cross sectional study. A standard symptom questionnaire survey has been used for the individual characteristics, work history, musculosketal symptoms and non-occupational covariates. The data were obtained by applying one-on-one interview for the all subjects. RULA has been applied for ergonomic work posture analysis and the primary ergonomic risk sure was computed by RULA method. Association between upper extremity musculoskeletal symptoms and RULA were assessed by multiple logistic regression analysis. Results. A total of 314 workers was examined. The prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms by NIOSH case definition was 62.4%. The distribution of musculoskeletal symptoms by the part of the body turned out to be following; back:41.4%, neck: 32.8%, shoulder: 26.4%, arm: 10.5% and hand:29.3%. The relationship of the individual RULA scores were statistically significant for the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms. As the result of the multiple logistic regressioin analysis, grand final score (OR=2.250 95% CI: 1.402-3.612) was associated with musculoskeletal symptoms in any part of the body.; upper arm score(OR=1.786 95% CI: 1.036-3.079) and posture score A(OR=1.634 95% CI: 1.016-2.626) in neck; muscel use score(OR=3.076 95% CI:1.782-5.310) and posture score A(OR=1.798 95% CI: 1.072-3.017) in shoulder; upper arm score(OR=1.715 95% CI: 1.083-2.715) and muscel use score(OR=2.057 95% CI:1.303-3.248) in neck & shoulder; muscle use score(OR=10.662 95% CI: 3.180-35.742) in arm; writst/wist score(OR=2.068 95% CI: 1.130-3.786) and muscle use score(OR=2.215 95% CI: 1.284-3.819) in hand & wrist.; muscle use score of trunk (OR=2.601 95% CI: 1.147-5.901) in back. Conclusions. Musculoskeletal symptoms of the extremities were strongly associated with individual RULA body score. These results show that RULA can be used as a useful assessment tool for the evaluation of musculoskeletal loading which is known to contribute to work-related musculoskeletal disorders. RULA also can be used as a screening tool or incorporated into a wider ergonomic assessment of epidemiological, physical, mental, environmental and organizational factors. As shown in this study, complement of the analysis system for the other risk factors and characterizing between the upper limb and back part will be needed for future work.

The existing studies of VDT syndrome have been researched only about for nurse groups without radiological technologists. The target of this study was workers who perform VDT task in general hospital placed in Daejun City such as insurance judgement, patient affairs, medical record management, medical computing service, hospital administration, and radiological sections. This study was conducted at October 15, 2009 to November 2, 2009 using structured questionnaire. Results of group A (age 20-29, less than 5 years experience at clinical site, normal staff, and unmarried group) showed significant skin and psychological conditions among recognition symptoms of VDT syndrome. Group B (age 30-39, 6-10 years experience at clinical site, managing staff, and married group) tends to be similar at orbital, whole body and muscles' frame response among recognition symptoms of VDT syndrome. Results of "Multiple Linear Regression" with dependent variable that is scores of recognition symptoms of VDT syndrome are as follows. The factors which influences for orbital-related problem is gender, health cares and obstacles during daily life. The factors which influences for whole body-related is exercise, stress and recognition for health condition and the factors which influences muscles' frame-related is 6-10 years experience at clinical site, human relationship, health cares and obstacles during daily life. These are proved to be similar by statistic analysis. There is small difference at recognition symptom of VDT syndrome between the radiological technologist and other groups in general hospital. Yet, as the working circumstance of radiological technologist gradually changes to VDT environment, the recognition symptom of VDT syndrome became conscious. This can be prevented by regular job rotation, which will escape the continuous repetition of working pattern.

As the scale of construction work is enlarged, complicated and diversified, construction information from the large number of construction sites is happened and reported to the head office. To control much information generated in construction sites simultaneously, the necessity of supporting system which can extract necessary information is increased. However, compare with large companies, medium-sized companies's organization of head office and management system is weak, so it's difficult to manage multi-projects. Among these site managements, resource management is an important management area. But, resource planning is based on experience and judgement and have not associated with schedule information. So when schedule if changed, the plan must be amended manually. This study investigates material-planning model for multi-project management which is connected with daily report system and scheduling software.

Networks often evolve to provide a host with multiple access points to the Internet. In this paper, we propose a transport layer load distribution mechanism utilizing the multiple network interfaces simultaneously. We specifically propose an extension of Stream Control Transmission Protoco1 (SCTP) to have load sharing over multiple network interfaces. We named the particular service provided by the Proposed load sharing mechanism to be LS (Load Sharing) mode service. LS mode service is based on the following four key elements: (i) the separation of flow control and congestion control, (ii) congestion window based striping, (iii) redundant packet retransmission for fast packet loss recovery, (iv) a novel mechanism to keep track of the receiver window size with the SACKS even if they arrive out-of-order. Through simulations, it is shown that the proposed LS mode service can aggregate the bandwidth of multiple paths almost ideally despite of the disparity in their bandwidth. When a path with a delay of 100% greater is utilized as the second path, the throughput is enhanced about 20%.

Many web-based Information systems require degrees of adaptation of the system's user interfaces to different client devices, users and tasks. We describe a new approach to providing adaptable client interfaces for web-based Information systems that allow a developer to specify a web-based interface using a high-level mark-up language. At run-time this single interface description is used to automatically provide for multiple web devices This approach allows developers to much more easily construct and maintain web-based user interfaces than other current approaches.

위성의 부분체 또는 탑재컴퓨터 및 탑재소프트웨어에 대한 검증시험을 수행하기 위해서는 위성개발에 사용하며 그 기능이 검증된 상용프로그램을 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 위성 영령의 전송 및 텔레메트리 데이터의 전송과 분석을 위한 프로그램은 위성에 사용되는 종류 및 포맷에 따라 다양한 형태로 수정되어야 하기 때문에 자체 제작한 프로그램을 사용하게 된다. 99년에 발사되어 성공적으로 임무를 수행하고 있는 다목적실용위성 1호 및 현재 개발이 진행 중인 다목적실용위성 2호의 개발과정에서는 LEX와 YACC이라는 구문분석기를 이용한 VTSP(Verification Test Script Parser) 프로그램이 탑재소프트웨어의 검증시험에 사용되었다. VT5P는 실시간 데이터 전송 및 분석이 가능하지만 UNIX 환경에서만 실행되므로 윈도우 환경에서 작업하던 일반 사용자들에게는 익숙하지 않은 시험환경을 제공하여 텍스트 기반의 작업이 필요하므로 시험 수행에 여러 어려움들이 발생한다. 이러한 단점들을 보완하기 위하여 윈도우 기반의 검증시험 프로그램인 SATS(Spacecraft Automatic Test Script)를 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 대부분의 사용자들에게 익숙한 윈도우 환경을 제공하며 이더넷을 통하여 장소에 상관없이 다중의 개발자가 시험을 수행할 수 있는 SATS의 개발현황과 수행환경에 대하며 소개한다.

This study was to investigate the prevalence rate of musculoskeletal disorders in relation to general characteristic factors, living environment factors, and work environment factors for sonographer's. For the response questions, the guidelines for musculoskeletal burden work were used. For statistical analysis, SPSS 26.0 version was used. For the common body parts of the sonographer's who responded, the prevalence was investigated by dividing the group into a group with high pain or discomfort and a group with low pain or discomfort according to the degree to which they experienced symptoms during the past 12 months. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the variance inflation factor(VIF), odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. As a result, housework hours, examination history, regular physical activity, number of patient examinations per day, and sitting posture were investigated as variables for rate musculoskeletal disorders. The sonographer's occupational group was found to have a high prevalence rate of musculoskeletal disorders like various other occupational groups. Based on the results of this study, it is judged that musculoskeletal disorders can be reduced by recognizing musculoskeletal disorders and improving work environment factors.
