  • Risks and uncertainty are unavoidable problems in management of projects. Therefore, project managers should not only prevent risks, but also have to respond and manage them. Risk management has become a critical interest subject in the construction industry for both practitioners and researchers. This paper presents critical risk factors of office building projects in the construction phase in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey based on the likelihood and consequence level of risk factors. These factors fell into five groups: (i) financial risk factors; (ii) management risk factors; (iii) schedule risk factors; (iv) construction risk factors; and (v) environment risk factors. The research results showed that critical factors affecting office building projects are natural (i.e., prolonged rain, storms, climate effects) and human-made issues (i.e., soil instability, safety behaviors, owner's design change) and the schedule-related risk factors contributed to the most significant risks for office buildings projects in the construction phase in Ho Chi Minh City. They give construction management and project management practitioners a new perspective on risks and risk management of office buildings projects in Ho Chi Minh City and are proactive in the awareness, response, and management of risk factors comprehensively.

  • Purpose: This study was performed to determine the physical and psychological effects of an urban forest-walking program for office workers. For many workers, sedentary lifestyles can lead to low levels of physical activity causing various health problems despite an increased interest in health promotion. Methods: Fifty four office workers participated in this study. They were assigned to two groups (experimental group and control group) in random order and the experimental group performed 5 weeks of walking exercise based on Information-Motivation-Behavioral skills Model. The data were collected from October to November 2014. SPSS 21.0 was used for the statistical analysis. Results: The results showed that the urban forest walking program had positive effects on the physical activity level (U=65.00, p <.001), health promotion behavior (t= - 2.20, p =.033), and quality of life (t= - 2.42, p =.020). However, there were no statistical differences in depression, waist size, body mass index, blood pressure, or bone density between the groups. Conclusion: The current findings of the study suggest the forest-walking program may have positive effects on improving physical activity, health promotion behavior, and quality of life. The program can be used as an effective and efficient strategy for physical and psychological health promotion for office workers.

  • The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of office workers' motivation to choose clothing and makeup colors on appearance satisfaction and self-esteem. The subjects of this study were working women working in Chungcheong-do for two weeks from July 15, 2023 to July 29, 2023, and 696 sampled copies were used for the final analysis. Frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, (one-way)ANOVA, and post-verification (Scheffe's) were handled using the SPSS 26.0 program, and office workers' clothing. Correlation analysis, simple regression, and multiple regression were performed to find out the correlation between makeup color selection motivation, and the statistical significance level was p<.I set it to 05. Through this research procedure, the following conclusions were drawn. First, it was found that the motivation of office workers to choose clothes color had a positive (+) effect on appearance satisfaction. Second, office workers' motivation for choosing makeup colors was found to have a positive (+) effect on appearance satisfaction, and physical attractiveness was found to have a positive (+) effect on situational factors. Third, it was found that the color choice of clothes of office workers had a positive (+) effect on self-esteem. Fourth, It was found that the motivation of office workers to choose makeup colors had a positive (+) effect on self-esteem.

  • Monitoring infectious diseases for fishery species takes a key role in preventing disease emergence and spreading of cultured fishery species. This research has examined a total of 1,115 fishes of four species (leather carp, fancy carp, stone moroko, carassius auratus) at 23 farm in Jeollanamdo and Jeollabukdo in 2021 for pathogen infection. As a result of disease screening for three legally designated diseases (SVC, Spring viraemia of carp, EUS, Epizootic ulcerative syndrome, and KHVD, Koi herpesvirus disease), no infectious diseases were detected in all examined samples; cyprinid fish studied in Jeolla province would provide important information for declaring a disease-free nation or disease-free region.

  • 지구 온난화 현상, 국제 유가 급등, 화석 연료의 고갈 등 여러 가지 환경 문제에 대한 세계적인 관심이 높아지면서 UNFCCC(United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) 이 각국의 온실가스 배출량을 제한하기 위한 활동을 벌이고 있다. 그리고 온실가스 배출량을 국가별 또는 산업별로 정량적으로 산출하기 위해 IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), WRI/WBCSD (World Resources Institute and World Business Council for Sustainable Development) 및 ISO 등 국제기관과 표준단체에서 표준지침을 제정하여 온실가스를 산정하는 노력을 기울이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 IT산업에서 환경 문제 해결을 위해 자구적인 노력을 하고 있는 그린 IT분야에서 이슈가 되고 있는 그린데이터센터에 대해 알아보고, 데이터센터를 에너지관리 측면에서 관리하기 위한 전력사용량 모니터링에 탄소배출량 산정 지침을 적용한 "스마트 에너지/탄소 관리 시스템 설계"에 대해 살펴보고 향후 구축에 있어 이슈가 될 사항을 점검해 본다.

  • Nonmedical use of prescription stimulants such as methylphenidate (MPH) and amphetamine (AP) by normal persons has been increased to improve cognitive functions. Due to high potential for their abuse, reliable analytical methods were required to detect these prescription stimulants in biological samples. A direct injection liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and implemented for simultaneous determination of MPH, AP and their metabolites ritalinic acid (RA) and 4-hydroxyamphetamine (HAP) in human urine. Urine sample was centrifuged and the upper layer ($100{\mu}L$) was mixed with $800{\mu}L$ of distilled water and $100{\mu}L$ of internal standards ($0.2{\mu}g/mL$ in methanol). The mixture was then directly injected into the LC-MS/MS system. The mobile phase was composed of 0.2% formic acid in distilled water (A) and acetonitrile (B). Chromatographic separation was performed by using a Capcell Pak MG-II C18 ($150mm{\times}2.0mm$ i.d., $5{\mu}m$, Shiseido) column and all analytes were eluted within 5 min. Linear least-squares regression with a 1/x weighting factor was used to generate a calibration curve and the assay was linear from 20 to 1500 ng/mL (HAP), 40-3000 ng/mL (AP and RA) and 2-150 ng/mL (MPH). The intra- and inter-day precisions were within 16.4%. The intra- and inter-day accuracies ranged from -15.6% to 10.8%. The limits of detection for all the analytes were less than 4.7 ng/mL. The suitability of the method was examined by analyzing urine samples from drug abusers.
