Avocado, a superfood selected by Time magazine and one of the late ripening fruits, is one of the foods with a big difference between local prices and domestic distribution prices. If this sorting process of avocados is automated, it will be possible to lower prices by reducing labor costs in various fields. In this paper, we aim to create an optimal classification model by creating an avocado dataset through crawling and using a number of deep learning-based transfer learning models. Experiments were conducted by directly substituting a deep learning-based transfer learning model from a dataset separated from the produced dataset and fine-tuning the hyperparameters of the model. When an avocado image is input, the model classifies the ripeness of the avocado with an accuracy of over 99%, and proposes a dataset and algorithm that can reduce manpower and increase accuracy in avocado production and distribution households.

The platooning refers to a form in which one or more following vehicles along the path of the leading vehicle(directly driven by the driver) drive in one platoon using V2V, V2I communication and vehicle-mounted sensor. Platooning has emerged in line with the increasing demand for cargo volume and advanced transportation logistics systems, and is expected to have effects such as increasing capacity, reducing labor costs, and reducing fuel consumption. However, compared to general passenger cars, research on autonomous driving of trucks and verification of their effects are insufficient. Therefore, in this study, meta-analysis was conducted on the theme of the effect of truck platooning, and the results of existing studies related to platooning effects were integrated into one reliable, generalized, and objective summary estimate. In conclusion, it was analyzed that the introduction of truck platooning would have an effect of 13.93% increase in capacity, 38.76% decrease in conflict, and 8.13% decrease in fuel consumption.

지속적이고 안정적인 물의 수요와 공급을 유지하기 위해서는 하천의 유량도 중요하지만 좀 더 정확한 물의 흐름을 파악하기 위해서는 하천수 사용량 파악이 중요하다. 하천수 사용량 계측기술의 검증 및 표준화를 통해 실측기반의 하천수 사용량 자료 수집 및 활용체계가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 직·간접적 사용량 측정 및 월 단위 보고체계를 개선할 목적으로 기존의 측정방법에 대한 평가를 실시하고, 하천수 사용량의 표준화된 계측 및 자료수집 체계 개선 방안과 실시간 계측자료 기반의 관리체계를 마련하여 자료를 관리할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 하천수 사용량 파악을 위한 사용시설 현황을 검토하기 위해 제원정보 및 허가량이 유효한 14,575건 중 농업용 하천수 사용시설은 12,745개소로 전체의 88.9%, 허가량 대비 81.3%(생활·농업·공업용수 대상)를 차지하고 있다. 이중 하천수 사용량 보고대상인 8,000 m³/일 이상의 1,696건에 대한 자료의 수집이 수행된다면, 전체 농업용수의 86.0%에 해당하는 사용량 자료를 파악할 수 있다. 하천수 사용량 수집체계 개선 우선 대상인 1,696개소는 양수장 1,196개소(70.5%), 취수보 500개소(29.5%)로 보고규모 이상의 시설을 우선적으로 개선하는 것이 적용 초기에 많은 사용량을 파악할 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다. 전력량-사용량관계 곡선식을 이용한 환산유량은 하류단 양수의 영향을 받지 않고 초기설치 비용을 줄일 수 있으며, 오차율도 양호하여 만족할 만한 정확도와 경제성을 갖는 방법이라고 판단된다. 전국에 위치한 농업용수 사용량 자료의 확보는 현실적으로 어렵고, 하천수 보고유량은 초기설치비용이 들지 않지만 가동시간을 수기로 기록함에 있어 인건비 등의 연간운영비가 많이 소모되는 것으로 나타났다. 실시간 전력량자료 수집이 가능한 양수장의 경우, 전력량-사용량관계곡선식을 활용한 방법으로 실시간 하천수 사용량 자료 수집을 통해 보다 경제적이고 정확한 자료수집이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 이는 실시간 하천수 사용량 계측자료의 활용성 향상을 위한 기반을 마련할 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

While the introduction of kiosk has become an essential element, enjoying the effect of labor cost reduction, it has not been able to embrace the senior population due to the digital divide. This study investigated which factors have relationships with conflict over use for kiosk from the viewpoint of shadow work that appears during self-service kiosk use. An analysis of 159 seniors through survey revealed that both technostress and subjective norms had significant relationships with conflict over use for kiosk, and that the perception of shadow work had a partial mediating effect on these relationships. Further, user experience showed a moderating effect on the relationship between technostress and perception of shadow work. These results suggest theoretical and practical implications related to digital shadow work, providing the relevant policy regarding digital inclusion for seniors.

많은 인원을 필요로 하는 조선업은 선박을 건조하는 현장의 제품들이 복합 공정이면서도 중후장대한 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 선박을 건조할 때는 종사하는 작업자 간의 작업 내용에 대한 의논과 방법의 결정에 따른 경험기술의 활용도가 높다. 그래서 작업자별 작업 방법이나 기능의 차이가 많고 그 차이만큼이나 공정 진척이나 품질에 대한 결과도 다르게 나타나게 된다. 하지만 인력 집약도가 높은 조선소 작업인력이 퇴직이나 이직 등으로 발생되는 공백을 내국인으로 채우지 못하고 경험이 없고 소통도 어려운 외국인 작업자로 대체하고 있는 실정이다. 외국계 작업자의 경우 인건비가 낮은 중소기업이나 대기업의 하도급 업체에 고용이 되는데 중소기업의 특성상 기술력의 축적이나 안전작업을 위한 사전 직무교육 등에는 여유가 없어 제한된 기간 동안의 고용이나 단순 업무에만 종사토록 하는 등의 방법으로 활용해왔다. 그러나 외국계 작업자의 고용 비중이 높아지면서 전반적인 생산성의 한계와 불안전 작업에 대한 우려로 그 관심도 높아지고 있다. 외국계 작업자의 경우 생산 현장에서 이루어지고 있는 각종 안전관련 교육이나 행사, 동료간의 소통등에 소외되면서 불안전이 가중되고있고 비자종류에 따라 체류기간이 한정되어 기술력의 유지는 어려운 현실이 될 수 밖에 없다. 이러한 외국계 작업자에게 안전에 대한 수준을 높이기 위한 방안으로 직무별 위험성평가도 작업자의 논높이에 맞게 해야 한다. 현재 활용되고 있는 4가지 위험성평가 방법을 일부 보완하여 안전수준에 맞게 실시하여 작업자 개인별 직무 수행상의 위험성에 대한 이해도가 안전에 미치는 영향을 최소화 하여 안전을 유지시키는 방안을 연구한다. 위험성평가의 취지가 기본적으로 해당 작업자 전원참여라는 중요 요소임을 감안할 때 외국인 작업자의 직무 이해도 점검은 매우 중요하다 하겠다.

Korean government has granted fixed indirect cost rates to several exceptional R&D programs which is lower than the predetermined rate by the government. It has been needed to evaluate the validity of exceptional R&D programs and determine the optimal indirect costs rate of the programs. This study analyzes the cost structure and explores drivers of indirect costs of exceptional R&D programs and evaluates the validity of current indirect costs rates. Finally, we propose the formulas for indirect costs rates of exceptional R&D programs. We analyze the cost structure of the exceptional R&D programs. Equipments and material costs are 50% in infra building program. Scholarship to students is 43% in HRD program. Equipments and material costs are 50% and R&D activity costs are 31% in international R&D program. Main cost components of evaluation program are salary(37%), R&D execution costs(21%) and R&D activity costs(19%). We propose three formulas of indirect costs for exceptional programs. 1) The cost items with exceptionally large amount are excluded in the base of formula for indirect costs. 2) Fixed indirect cost rate is applied for specific R&D programs. 3) Upper bound is set for the cost items with exceptionally large amount in the calculation of indirect costs rate. Our proposal is expected to contribute to the improvement of the efficiency of national R&D programs.

Objectives: In establishing policies for agricultural safety, evaluating injury burdens as well as investigating the rates and characteristics of work injury is important. This study investigated the types and characteristics of agricultural injury subjective burdens. Methods: By analyzing the injured farmers identified in the 2013 Korean Farmers' Occupational Injury Survey, the burdens caused by injuries were categorized using one direct cost item (medical costs) and five indirect cost items (including productivity decreases and wage increases). Statistical differences among the burden items were analyzed using logistic regression analysis according to the characteristics of the farmers and their farm injuries. Results: Among the subjective burdens indicated by the 457 injured farmers, disruption to work was most common. The major influences on each subjective burden item are as follows: for the item of disruption to work, age, time of injury occurrence, treatment period, and farming machine use were influential; for an increased family member's burden of farm works, the number of family members and treatment period were influential. Regarding cost burden of treatment, the results varied according to whether or not the patient was hospitalized and annual income. Conclusion: Subjective burdens induced by indirect costs rather than those induced by direct costs were found to be higher in ratio. In regard to each burden item, the results varied according to the characteristics of the farmers and their farm injuries. To support injured farmer, setting goals to reduce indirect cost burdens and preparing concrete methods is necessary.

We surveyed dietitians'perception on usage of cook/chill vegetables, The questionnaires were distributed to 245 dietitians working in elementary schools and other institutions in Busan area. According to the survey, 75.9% of the dietitians perceived that minimally processed ready -to-use vegetal)toes would be helpful for the institutional foodservice They answered that problems of vegetable usage in the foodservice mainly come from long preparation time (45.4%), a large quantity of leftover (13.1%), and a high ratio of disuse (16.0%). Degree of preparedness from raw vegetables was highest for garlic, and was in tile order of platicodcm, onions, carrots, Potatoes, Korean cabbage and radish.40.9% of the dietitians answered that it was necessary Ic develop cook/chill vegetables in their institute restaurants. The high career group ( >6 yrs.) was, however, significantly (p<0.05) negative against the use of cooHchill vegetables. The dietitians were expecting that developing cook/chill vegetables would save cooking time and processes (4.43/5.00), and reduce waste (4.53/5.00) greatly. They also estimated that focal hygiene and quality would be improved, and labor cast be reduced moderately. On the other hand, they thought that the cost of flood would not be reduced.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the food service management practices and productivity in 49 elementary schools in the Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do areas. Survey questionnaires were used to obtain a variety of quantitative and qualitative information, including general food service management and productivity, on elementary school food service systems. Descriptive analysis, $\div$2-test, t-test and one-way ANOVA analysis were used as the statistical methods in this study. Eighteen elementary schools were located in urban areas, 13 in provincial areas and 18 in isolated areas. The average number of meals was 565.1, with a significant difference (p＝0.001) between the areas. The average cost per a meal was 1151.0 Won, with a significant difference (p＝0.001) between the areas. The productivity Index (meal/hour) was 13.5, with a significant difference (p＝0.001) between the areas. There was a significant positive correlation of the productivity Index between the total number of meal, the number of employees, the total food cost, meals per employee and the employee's working period. There was a significant negative correlation between the productivity Index and the number of side dishes, the lost per meal, the labor cost per meal and the employee's job satisfaction degree index (JDI).
