  • In recent years, the most safety studies have been focused on identifying the relationship between safety climate and safe work behavior in accordance with the awareness that prime causes of accidents are organizational, managerial, and human factors rather than pure technical failures across the world. This study focused empirical research aimed at finding out the safety climate factors and examining the relationships of the safety climate and safe work behavior in construction site in Korea, too. A 10 numbers of safety climate factors were adapted from the Mohamed's study(2002) and tested using PLS-GRAPH 3.0 expecting same results as Mohamed' study. And then the relationship between safety climate and safe work behavior was examined. Only two safety climate factors-personal risk appreciation and worker's safety competence-were found and a strong positive relationship between safety climate and safe work behavior was identified in this study. Discussed in details about the results and implications and suggested further studies.

  • Let $q = p^r$, where p is a prime. A polynomial $f(x) \in GF(q)[x]$ is called a permutation polynomial (PP) over GF(q) if the numbers f(a) where $a \in GF(Q)$ are a permutation of the a's. In other words, the equation f(x) = a has a unique solution in GF(q) for each $a \in GF(q)$. More generally, $f(x_1, \cdots, x_n)$ is a PP in n variables if $f(x_1,\cdots,x_n) = \alpha$ has exactly $q^{n-1}$ solutions in $GF(q)^n$ for each $\alpha \in GF(q)$. Mullen ([3], [4], [5]) has studied the concepts of local permutation polynomials (LPP's) over finite fields. A polynomial $f(x_i, x_2, \cdots, x_n) \in GF(q)[x_i, \codts,x_n]$ is called a LPP if for each i = 1,\cdots, n, f(a_i,\cdots,x_n]$ is a PP in $x_i$ for all $a_j \in GF(q), j \neq 1$.Mullen ([3],[4]) found a set of necessary and three variables over GF(q) in order that f be a LPP. As examples, there are 12 LPP's over GF(3) in two indeterminates ; $f(x_1, x_2) = a_{10}x_1 + a_{10}x_2 + a_{00}$ where $a_{10} = 1$ or 2, $a_{01} = 1$ or x, $a_{00} = 0,1$, or 2. There are 24 LPP's over GF(3) of three indeterminates ; $F(x_1, x_2, x_3) = ax_1 + bx_2 +cx_3 +d$ where a,b and c = 1 or 2, d = 0,1, or 2.

  • Singapore, an island republic of over 5 million inhabitants, has 3.1 million workers. Most are employed in the service, finance and tourist/transport industry. Significant numbers work in manufacturing, construction and heavy industry. Following a series of construction and shipyard accidents with multiple deaths in 2004, the government announced its intention to reduce workplace fatalities from 4.9 to 2.5 per 100,000 by 2015. There was strong political will to achieve this target. The strategic approaches were to build workplace safety and health (WSH) capabilities; implement legislative changes with enforcement; promote benefits of WSH and recognize best practices, and enhance partnership with stakeholders. The anticipated outcomes were to reduce workplace fatality and injury rates; have WSH as an integral part of business; and establish a progressive and pervasive WSH culture. With these measures, the workplace fatality rate declined from 4.9/100,000 in 2004, to 2.2/100,000 in 2010. However, other confounding factors could also account for this decline, and have to be considered. The next target, announced by Singapore's Prime Minister in 2008, is to further reduce the workplace fatality rate to 1.8/100,000 by 2018, and to have "one of the best workplace safety records in the world".

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the relationship of assertiveness and attitudes toward nurse-physician collaboration in general hospital nurses. Methods: The subjects were 196 clinical nurses from two general hospitals in P city. Data were collected from August 1 to 30, 2014 and analyzed by SPSS 18.0 program using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, $Sheff{\acute{e}}^{\prime}s$ test, and Pearson's correlation coefficients. Results: The mean scores of assertiveness and attitudes toward nurse-physician collaboration were $3.20{\pm}.42$ and $3.20{\pm}.30$, respectively. Assertiveness and attitudes toward nurse-physician collaboration according to the general characteristics showed significant differences on the numbers of advisors and job satisfaction. There was a significant positive correlation between assertiveness and attitudes toward nurse-physician collaboration. Conclusion: Based on results of this study, additional variables related to attitudes toward nurse-physician collaboration need to be identified. Educational programs to improve the attitudes toward nurse-physician collaboration should be developed.

  • Let T > 0 be given. Let $(C[0,T],m_{\varphi})$ be the analogue of Wiener measure space, associated with the Borel proba-bility measure ${\varphi}$ on ${\mathbb{R}}$, let $(L_{2}[0,T],\tilde{\omega})$ be the centered Gaussian measure space with the correlation operator $(-\frac{d^{2}}{dx^{2}})^{-1}$ and ${\el}_2,\;\tilde{m}$ be the abstract Wiener measure space. Let U be the space of all sequence $<c_{n}>$ in ${\el}_{2}$ such that the limit $lim_{{m}{\rightarrow}\infty}\;\frac{1}{m+1}\;\sum{^{m}}{_{n=0}}\;\sum_{k=0}^{n}\;c_{k}\;cos\;\frac{k{\pi}t}{T}$ converges uniformly on [0,T] and give a set function m such that for any Borel subset G of $\el_2$, $m(\mathcal{U}\cap\;P_{0}^{-1}\;o\;P_{0}(G))\;=\tilde{m}(P_{0}^{-1}\;o\;P_{0}(G))$. The goal of this note is to study the relationship among the measures $m_{\varphi},\;\tilde{\omega},\;\tilde{m}$ and $m$.

  • This study was carried out to develop a model system using selection method for disease resistant plant breeding programs using a herbicide bialaphos-resistant patII gene as a gene-based marker. Spraying bialaphos could eliminate the susceptible plants from the segregating populations such as ${F_2}^{\prime}s$ and thereafter. Tomato cv. Momotaro-yoke was transformed with patII gene 60 independent transformants were acquired. Total 42 transformants were analyzed in transgene copy numbers by Southern blotting and the segregation ratios for the bialaphos resistance. Statistical analysis revealed that the transgene copy numbers and the segregation ratios were not always coincided, especially having the tendency of underestimating the real numbers of the transgenes in the multicopy lines. A two-stepwise screening method was applied to select $T_1$ tomato plants which linked the transgenic patII to a disease resistance gene (I2 and Ve). Based on the resistant to susceptible ratios, T-20 plant was finally selected due to the estimated linkage 12-13 cM between the patII gene to the I2 gene on chromosome 11. This newly developed system could be applied to any economical crop in breeding programs.

  • It is very difficult to factorize composite number, $n=pq$ to integer factorization, p and q that is almost similar length of digits. Integer factorization algorithms, for the most part, find ($a,b$) that is congruence of squares ($a^2{\equiv}b^2$ (mod $n$)) with using factoring(factor base, B) and get the result, $p=GCD(a-b,n)$, $q=GCD(a+b,n)$ with taking the greatest common divisor of Euclid based on the formula $a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$. The efficiency of these algorithms hangs on finding ($a,b$) and deciding factor base, B. This paper proposes a efficient algorithm. The proposed algorithm extracts B from integer factorization with 3 digits prime numbers of $n+1$ and decides f, the combination of B. And then it obtains $x$(this is, $a=fxy$, $\sqrt{n}$ < $a$ < $\sqrt{2n}$) from integer factorization of $n-2$ and gets $y=\frac{a}{fx}$, $y_1$={1,3,7,9}. Our algorithm is much more effective in comparison with the conventional Fermat algorithm that sequentially finds $\sqrt{n}$ < $a$.

  • Multiplication problems for the 7th curriculum focus on functional realms featuring the memorization and application of the multiplication table, exposing learners only to additive thinking characterized by simple counting and drawing. A diversity of research has yet to be conducted for the transition to multiplicative thinking that highlights the capability to solve problems by using multiplication and division in the expanded number scope like 'prime numbers', 'fractional numbers', and 'ratio/rates' and to describe accurately how they solved. This research was designed to develop and utilize teaching-learning materials for the transition of fifth graders' additive thinking to advanced multiplicative one and to analyze the application results in order to identify validity in material development. The following conclusions were made. First, the development and application of teaching-learning materials for multiplicative thinking cultivation facilitated the transition from additive thinking featuring simple counting and drawing to multiplicative thinking characterized by multiplication and accurate description in a more complicated and expanded number scope. Second, the development of materials featuring 'basic'-'intermediate'-'in-depth' courses by activity enabled learners to benefit from learning by level and expansion in number scope. Third, the use of topics and materials closely connected to daily lives stimulated learners' curiosity, helping them concentrate more on given problems. Fourth, communication between teachers and students or among learners themselves was promoted by continuously encouraging them to explain and by reviewing their documents identifying rules or patterns.

  • Purpose: In an infinite market competition, companies are adopting management systems to gain a competitive advantage. The expectancy effect of the management system is management performance improvement and accurate measurements. These can be made through quality records with integrity and maintainability. This paper examines the operation of records management standards, which are records, storage and management standards for quality records to understand the needs of records management standards and empathize with their needs. Methods: This paper examines PEC's (Pields Engineering Co., Ltd.) specific processes and standards for integrating individual management systems and establishing records management standards. We also look at the specific features of the Search Tool and Document Storage Management Standards that support records management standards. Results: The integration process of PEC's individual management system consists of five steps. A PDCA-based process was established to erode the confusion and inefficiencies caused by overlap between individual management systems. Also, by accurately grasping corporate competence, PEC established a record management standard suitable for the characteristics of the company. PEC's records management standards are used as a useful standard for organizing quality records, and have an impact on management performance improvement. Conclusion: PEC's records management standards enable the verification of quality performance rates and performance measures. Companies can implement appropriate quality improvement strategies based on the numbers identified by introducing records management standards. Companies can succeed in improving management performance when operating quality management that combines performance measurement techniques and records management standards.
