This article aims to provide information necessary for the measurement and analysis of human vibration, especially hand-arm vibration. The major health problems associated with the use of powered hand tools are the signs and symptoms of peripheral vascular and peripheral neural disorders of the fingers and hands. To prevent these problems, it is the first and the most important to measure the amount of the vibration transmitted to the upper extremities, and analyze its characteristics against the exposure limits such as ISO standards. In our country, however, very few studies have been done on the hand-arm vibration. One of the possible reasons might be lack of knowledge for the measurement and analysis schemes. The information introduced in this article would hopefully be of help for the upcoming studies.

In the case of a high-valuable asset, the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) phase requires heavy charges and more efforts than the installation (construction) phase, because it has long usage life and any accident of an asset during this period causes catastrophic damage to an industry. Recently, with the advent of emerging Information Communication Technologies (ICTs), we can get the visibility of asset status information during its usage period. It gives us new challenging issues for improving the efficiency of asset operations. One issue is to implement the Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) approach that makes a diagnosis of the asset status based on wire or wireless monitored data, predicts the assets abnormality, and executes suitable maintenance actions such as repair and replacement before serious problems happen. In this study, we have addressed several aspects of CBM approach: definition, related international standards, procedure, and techniques with the introduction of some relevant case studies that we have carried out.

본 연구는 유럽과 오세아니아의 선진국형 기능성 축산물 및 식육제품의 운영현황 및 관리방안을 연구 분석함으로서 국내 실정에 부합되는 규격기준 표준화와 관리방안 및 제도를 마련하는데 있어서 기초 자료를 제시하는데 있다. 우리나라를 비롯하여 전 세계적으로 국제경쟁력 강화 차원 등의 여러 여건 변화로 식품의 3차적 기능이 점차 강조되고 있다. 따라서 우리나라 자체적으로 기능성 축산물에 대한 정확한 정의와 범위를 확립하는 것이 시급하다. 식품에 기능성 표시를 허용하는 것은 이미 국제적인 대세이다. 유럽과 오세아니아에서도 별도의 기능성 축산물에 관한 법률이나 관리제도가 없으나 식품의 기능성 강화 측면에서 영양표시기준(nutrition claims)과 건강표시기준(health claims)을 통해 식품을 관리하고 있다. 강화 영양소에 대한 표시기준은 일부에 국한되어 있어 이들 기준을 사용하여 국내의 기능성 축산물 및 식육가공품에 적용할 경우, 기능성 지표물질 및 허용량의 설정이 반드시 이루어져야 할 것으로 보이며, EU와 호주 뉴질랜드에서 운영하는 제도 이외의 다른 선진국의 사례를 바탕으로 기능성 축산물에 대한 표준화가 이루어져야 할 것으로 보인다. 또한 기능성 축산물 및 식육제품의 표시를 확립하기 위해서는 현재 시중에 유통되고 있는 제품에 사용되는 기능성 소재 조사 및 각 기능성 소재가 인체에 유해한지 안전성에 대한 연구가 필요하며, 이들 소재의 적정 사용범위 설정을 위한 data base를 확립하기 위해 많은 실험적인 연구가 요구된다.

Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the application of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to the wastewater treatment systems employed in the Living Building Challenge. Methods: I reviewed a range of information on decentralized wastewater treatment technologies such as composting toilets, constructed wetlands, recirculating biofilters, membrane bioreactors, and MFCs. Results: The Living Building Challenge is a set of standards to make buildings more eco-friendly using renewable resources and self-treating water systems. Although there are various decentralized wastewater treatment technologies available, MFCs have been considered an attractive future option for a decentralized system as used in the Living Building Challenge. MFCs can directly convert substrate energy to electricity with high conversion efficiency at ambient and even at low temperatures. MFCs do not require energy input for aeration if using open-air cathodes. Moreover, MFCs have the potential for widespread application in locations lacking water and electrical infrastructure Conclusions: This paper demonstrated the feasibility of MFCs as a novel decentralized wastewater treatment system employed in the Living Building Challenge.

Though safety signs are important since they transmit hazard information even after diverse accident prevention treatments, their functional effectiveness were never tested in Korea so that even those provided by Occupational Safety & Health Act(OSHAct) could not accomplish their objectives, "effective accident prevention", This research was carried out to understand confronted problems and improvement direction for safety signs provided by OSHAct. For them, current safety signs were analyzed with a semiotic view on one hand, and a questionnaire survey was conducted with safety-related people in industrial fields on the other hand. To summarize problems in semiotic aspects, geometric simplicity of pictograms in safety signs seemed to be so emphasized that they might fail to induce realistic action, and their esthetic sensation seemed to be lower than those of developed countries. And according to present questionnaire survey, it was pointed out that; 1) legal systems related with safety signs were not classified appropriately, 2) safety signs were recognized as difficult to understand and inapplicable to industrial fields, and eventually 3) safety signs were not effectively utilized for industrial accident prevention. Therefore, discussions for improving confronted problems and relation to international standards were added at the end.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify nursing intervention performed by nurses on gynecological nursing units. Methods: The instrument in this study is based on the fifth edition of Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) (2008). Data was collected by Electronic Medical record from August, 2010 to October, 2010 at one hospital and analyzed by using frequencies in the Microsoft Excel 2010 program. Results: Of a total of 82 NIC, domains of the nursing interventions showed higher percentages for physiological: basic (36.3%) and physiological: complex (34.5%). The classes of nursing interventions showed higher percentage for health system medication (12.1%), perioperative care (10.0%), and drug management (8.6%). The most frequently used top interventions were Discharge Planning. The thirty least used interventions was environmental management. Top thirty most frequently used interventions belonged to the domain of physiological: basic (37.9%), physiological: complex (31.1%), and behavioral (5.4%). Conclusion: These findings will help in the establishment of a standardized language for gynecological nursing units and enhance the quality of nursing care.

Background: Increasing the slip resistance of floor surfaces would be desirable, but there is a lack of evidence on whether traction properties are linearly correlated with the topographic features of the floor surfaces or what scales of surface roughness are required to effectively control the slipperiness of floors. Objective: This study expands on earlier findings on the effects of floor surface finishes against slip resistance performance and determines the operative ranges of floor surface roughness for optimal slip resistance controls under different risk levels of walking environments. Methods: Dynamic friction tests were conducted among three shoes and nine floor specimens under wet and oily environments and compared with a soapy environment. Results: The test results showed the significant effects of floor surface roughness on slip resistance performance against all the lubricated environments. Compared with the floor-type effect, the shoe-type effect on slip resistance performance was insignificant against the highly polluted environments. The study outcomes also indicated that the oily environment required rougher surface finishes than the wet and soapy ones in their lower boundary ranges of floor surface roughness. Conclusion: The results of this study with previous findings confirm that floor surface finishes require different levels of surface coarseness for different types of environmental conditions to effectively manage slippery walking environments. Collected data on operative ranges of floor surface roughness seem to be a valuable tool to develop practical design information and standards for floor surface finishes to efficiently prevent pedestrian fall incidents.

This paper is an attempt to discuss theoretical and empirical issues embedded in a rapidly dispersing well-being lifestyle in Korea. Increase of people's interests in health and well-being reflects the fact that Korea has been developed socially and economically to the level for common people to pursue the quality of life beyond survival or basic standards of life. The term, well-being life style, was first constructed and has been dispersed through mass media. Media contributes to popularize health issues and to deliver the importance of lifestyle for health promotion to the general public. Well-being lifestyle, initiated by media and joined with commercialism, however, reveal certain negative sides as well. Health or healthy lifestyle in Western societies has been rooted theoretically in the change of health paradigm and the political emphasis on the lifestyle for health promotion in policy implications. Well-being lifestyle in Korea, in lack of theoretical and institutional foundations, is being substantially formed into distorted consumerism. Based on the sociological theories of stratification, it might be necessary to discuss the well-being consumerism in respect of tension among people with different consuming power and the destruction of solid market principles. Considering well-being consumerism as a risk factor to societal well-being, it is also necessary to examine conflicting or misleading information about well-being and to explore the scientific knowledge and principles. All these discussions and examination need to be done with interdisciplinary efforts. Especially, tasks for developing application principles for everyday life are on hands of researchers in living sciences.
