This study was conducted for the purpose of exploring the experiences of workers with disabilities on job change according to the COVID-19 situation. To this end, the data from the 2020 survey on economic activity for the disabled and data from the National Statistical Office were used, and the analysis was conducted using a literature study method. The results were as follows. First, COVID-19 had caused a change in the working pattern of wage workers with disabilities. Second, the degree of employment security for the disabled had deteriorated after COVID-19. Third, non-wage workers were experiencing difficulties in business operation due to COVID-19. Fourth, it had affected the resignation due to COVID-19. Fifth, there were difficulties in finding a job due to COVID-19. Through this, it was found that the economic activities of the disabled were being greatly restricted due to COVID-19. Accordingly, a proposal for a solution was made. This study is meaningful in that it explored the instability of the domestic disabled people's labor market due to COVID-19 based on data.

The purpose of this study is to investigate in depth the lived employers experiences of utilizing employment among people with mentally disabilities. Phenomenological approach was used for this study. A total of 9 employer on work of the mentally disabled people were recruited as research participants Data was collected through in-depth interviews from March, 2017 to September, 2018. Transcribed data from audio recordings on interviews were analyzed using the Braun & Clarke method. 6 clustered themes consisting of 12 sub-themes emerged through the qualitative data analysis and they include the following: 1) Getting to realize that a vague concern; 2) Being forced to withstand others' persuasion; 3) Fluctuating on boundaries of my work; 4) Moving forward from individual to team; 5) Being together work expected workers with mentally disabled; and 6) Seeking for company progress.

본 논문은 작업 현장에서 청각장애인의 의사소통을 보조하는 한국 수화 메시지 보드의 개발에 대하여 다룬다. 청각 장애인은 일상적인 직업 현장에서 의사소통이 자유롭지 못하여 업무에 잘 적응하지 못하고 사내의 인간관계에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 문자를 이용한 정보 전달을 통해 모든 의사소통을 대체할 수 있을 것이라는 일반적인 생각과는 달리, 청각장애인의 경우 비장애인과 비교하여 사물의 개념 습득에 어려움이 있을 수 있으며 마찬가지로 사용하는 어휘수도 제한적인 경우가 많아 문자를 통한 의사소통에는 명확한 한계가 존재한다. 실제로 청각 장애 근로자가 이직하는 사유로 의사소통이나 인간관계가 높은 비중을 차지한다. 수화 메시지 보드는 크게 사내 네트워크를 이용한 공지 사항 전달을 위한 용도와 복수 개의 메시지 보드 간 문자 송수신의 용도로 사용 가능하다. 비장애인이 청각장애인에게 문자 입력으로 의사를 전달하면, 전달된 문자는 문자-수화 번역기를 통해 자동으로 수화로 번역되어 아바타의 수화 동작으로 화면에 출력된다. 전체 시스템은 수화 아바타를 포함한 그래픽 유저 인터페이스 (GUI), 수화 데이터베이스 및 한글 형태소/문장 분석기를 포함하는 문자-수화 번역기, 그리고 TCP/IP 기반의 문자 전송기의 세 부분으로 나뉜다. 본 논문에서는 수화 데이터베이스의 단어 선정을 위한 대상 작업 현장을 청각 장애 근로자가 타 직업에 비해 많은 비중을 차지하는 전자 부품 조립 업체로 한정하였다. 수화 데이터베이스는 자음 14종, 모음 17종, 숫자 15종, 일상생활 용어 1000종, 전자 부품 조립 업체에 특화된 단어 50종 및 직업 교육 관련 용어 50종으로 이루어진 총 1146종의 수화 단어를 포함하며, 수화 데이터베이스에 등록되지 않은 단어에 대해서는 지화로 표현하도록 한다. 이 중 전자 부품 조립 업체 특화 단어와 관련하여서는, 현재 동일한 분야의 작업 현장이라 하더라도 각 사업장 간 사용되는 수화가 통일되지 않아 문헌 조사 및 현장 조사를 통해 사용 빈도가 높고 형태가 공통적인 50종을 추려내었다. 본 연구는 실제 업무현장에서 청각장애인이 겪는 의사소통의 문제를 효과적으로 해결함으로써, 청각장애인이 직업 현장에 보다 쉽게 적응하도록 도움을 줄 뿐만 아니라, 일을 통해 자아 실현을 하도록 돕는 방안이 될 수 있다는 점에서 중요한 의의를 갖는다.

This study seeks to promote the mental and physical efficiencies of the foreign workers working in our country through the promotion of their health, and provide help in their effective use of medical treatments and granting appropriate medical benefits, and provide the basic information helpful in managing the health of the foreign workers who are playing a role in the advancement of the industry in Korea for the companies and employers that are employing them by researching the health condition and management status centering on the foreign workers from a part of Asia and South America who are working in our country. I made a regression analysis toward 231 foreign workers who have employed in industrial workplace from Mar. 1 to Jun. 30, 2008. The result said the factors that affect significant impact on common health disorder of foreign workers in their daily circumstances were staying period in Korea($\beta$=.270),difficulty to access hospital($\beta$=.268), inferior sanitation of work place($\beta$=.218), smoking or not($\beta$=.170), actual condition of health maintenance($\beta$=-.251).($R^2$=0.501)

The Purpose of this study is to identify the trends of studies on workers' musculoskeletal disorder and to suggest the direction of future research. 83 research article on workers' musculoskeletal disorder were reviewed. The results are as follows : 1. Studies on workers' musculoskeletal disorder have increased rapidly since 1996, but most of them were done by non-experimental design. 2. The most frequently selected subjects of studies are telephone operators and manufacturing workers. 3. The most frequently used instrument of studies is NIOSH's questionnaire & RULA (ergonomic work posture analysis). 4. The most frequently analysed variables relating to workers' musculoskeletal disorder are working years, hours of work a day, working process, and physical exercises. Therefore, it is needed to develop the management program of workers' musculoskeletal disorder and examine its effects.

This study was performed to identify the relationship between scaling behaviors and knowledge about scaling and oral health belief of worker, and to provide baseline data for developing industry oral health policy. The survey had conducted self-administered questionnaires by 326 workers in Gyeongsan and Yeongcheon areas in Gyeongbuk province. Their scaling behaviors, knowledge and oral health belief were measured. The results were as follow; The average score of knowledge about scaling was 6.44. The average oral health belief was 2.72. In detail, 'usefulness' was 3.24 as the highest and 'seriousness' was 2.25 as the lowest. The periodic scaling and scaling cycle were associated with 'seriousness' and 'barrier' as positive correlation(p<.05, .01). On the other hand, they were associated with knowledge and 'usefulness' as negative correlation(p<.01). Meanwhile, scaling motive showed positive correlation with 'cue of action'(p<.01), showed negative correlation with knowledge(p<.01). In the correlation between knowledge about scaling and oral health belief, knowledge showed negative correlation with 'barrier'(p<.01) and showed positive correlation with 'usefulness'(p<.01). Finally, we need to advertise and manage the importance of scaling politically and makes people do the voluntary scaling in six-month intervals in order to keep the periodontal health of worker.

최근 들어 근로자의 이동시간 단축을 통한 에너지 절감뿐만 아니라 저출산 고령화에 따른 노인 인구의 경제활동 유도, 출산여성에 대한 경력단축 방지, 장애인에 대한 근로활동 제공 등을 위한 근로 환경의 변화가 요구되고 있다. 이러한 근로환경을 제공하기 위한 스마트워크는 기존 사무실에서 근무하는 환경을 탈피하여 댁내, 스마트워크 센터, 또는 이동 중에도 마치 직장에서 근무하는 것처럼 업무를 효율적으로 수행할 수 있는 환경을 제공한다. 스마트워크는 현재 사용중인 여러 가지의 기술들을 근로환경에 맞게 채택하여 구현할 수 있으며, 특히 근로자의 업무 생산성을 높이기 위한 협업기능이 제공될 필요가 있다. 영상협업 기능은 영상, 음성 및 콘텐츠 공유를 통해 원격지 간에 효과적인 업무를 수행할 수 있도록 제공하는 기능이다. 본 논문은 스마트워크에서 영상협업을 제공하기 위하여 요구되는 상호연동 기능확장을 위한 표준화 이슈에 대하여 기술한다.
