크레인 훈련 프로그램은 실제 항만과 동일한 환경의 훈련 시스템을 구축하고 이를 활용하는 것이 가장 바람직하지만 시공간의 제약과 비용 등의 문제를 가지고 있다. 이런 제약점을 극복하고자 AR/VR을 기반으로 한 차세대 훈련 프로그램이 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가상현실을 기반으로 하는 항만 크레인 훈련 시스템의 프로토타입을 설계하고 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 구현한 시스템은 아두이노를 기반으로 한 IoT 조작 단말기와 유니티 응용프로그램을 탑재한 HMD 2가지 요소로 구성된다. IoT 조작 단말기는 2개의 컨트롤러와 2개의 토클 스위치 및 8개의버튼 스위치로 이루어져 사용자의 조작에 따라 발생하는 데이터를 처리한다. HMD는 Oculus Quest2를 사용하며IoT 단말기와 무선통신으로 연결되어 사용자의 편의성을 제공한다. 본 논문에서 구현한 훈련 시스템은 가상현실을 통해 훈련자에게 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않는 훈련 환경을 제공하고 시간과 비용을 절감할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The quest to reduce the level of overdependence on fossil fuel product and to provide all required information on proven existing alternatives for renewable energy has resulted into rapid growth of research globally to identify efficient alternative renewable energy sources and the process technologies that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. The present study is aimed at production and characterization of bioethanol produced from sugarcane juice using a $2^4$ factorial design investigating the effect of four parameters (reaction temperature, time, concentration of bacteria used and amount of substrate). The optimum bioethanol yield of 19.3% was achieved at a reaction temperature of $30^{\circ}C$, time of 72 hours, yeast concentration of 2 g and 300 g concentration of substrate (sugarcane juice). The result of statistical analysis of variance shows that the concentration of yeast had the highest effect of 7.325 and % contribution of 82.72% while the substrate concentration had the lowest effect and % contribution of -0.25 and 0.096% respectively. The bioethanol produced was then characterized for some fuel properties such as flash point, specific gravity, cloud point, pour point, sulphur content, acidity, density and kinematic viscosity. The results of bioethanol characterization conform to American society for testing and materials (ASTM) standard. Hence, sugarcane juice is a good and sustainable feedstock for bioethanol production in Nigeria owing relative abundance, cheap source of supply and available land for large scale production.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to provide a systematic literature review related to environmental upgrading in Global Value Chains (GVCs) and suggest possible future research agendas in advancing environmental upgrading and ultimately GVC boundaries. Research design, data, and methodology - The academic databases such as Science Direct, EBSCO, ProQuest and Google Scholar were explored using a structured keywords searches to identify relevant research in the environmental upgrading area in GVCs. Only relevant papers were selected after reading the abstracts, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results - Overall analysis of the literature review suggests two critical developments in the field of environmental upgrading. The first and foremost major development is an enhanced understanding of environmental upgrading as a concept and phenomenon. The second significant development is that environmental upgrading has been empirically proven to be fundamentally based on relationships and power structures within GVCs. Conclusions - Environmental upgrading in GVCs has been studied individually and not in relation to financial outcomes and social upgrading. Hence, the relationship of environmental upgrading with financial outcomes and social upgrading needs to be investigated. Furthermore, the impact of the interaction of varying institutional structures on environmental upgrading is worthy of future study.

Objective: The self-decisions of the client regarding the meaningful work as a therapeutic approach of client-orientation. The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) is an occupation-oriented problem-solving approach. The purpose of this study was to describe the goals and intervention protocols of CO-OP in those affected by stroke. Design: A systematic review. Methods: Using EBSCOhost, PubMed, and ProQuest databases, we searched studies published in the past decade that utilized the CO-OP intervention. An initial search revealed 71,171 potential articles. After applying our search criteria to screen the titles, abstracts, and full-text, we included 7 articles that met our inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this study, we used the patient, intervention(s), comparison, outcome method to analyze the 7 selected studies. We analyzed the frequency of goals and intervention protocols. Results: Seven articles met our selection criteria; these studies included participants with an almost normal cognitive function from inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities. CO-OP was used for 237 goals; the most used goal was the instrumental activities of daily living. The training procedure used 3 types of self-selecting goals in the activities. One of the goals was not trained, but was only evaluated to determine the generation effect. The most common outcome measurements included the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and the Performance Quality Rating Scale. Conclusions: This research provided information about the effectiveness of CO-OP and selecting the correct evaluation tool to assess the efficiency of the intervention. This study suggests that treatment with CO-OP in occupational therapy is effective and that it outlines common protocols.

This research analyses the challenges facing SMEs in Oman in their quest for internationalization. The study is based on the OECD Model of Internationalization put forward in the report titled "How to Foster the Internationalization of SMEs through the Pacific Alliance Integration Process" which focuses on four factors namely finance, business environment, firm capabilities and market access, which are appropriate for an emerging economy like Oman. This study used a descriptive and quantitative research design in attempting to analyze the challenges being faced by Omani SMEs in their endeavors to internationalize. The research investigates causal relationship between variables using positivist and deductive approach. Data collected from 102 respondents was analysed by Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) using AMOS. It was found that finance availability was the most significant predictor of internationalization challenges followed by market access and business environment, while firm capabilities had no impact. Thus SMEs need easier access to credit and have to develop their international business networks and their marketing capabilities in order to grow internationally. Keeping in mind the contribution made by SMEs the government has to intervene by opening up easy lines of credit to SME exporters and allowing them relaxations in customs and other duties.

본 논문은 다중 안테나 시스템을 통한 재전송 환경에 적합한 Multi-Strata Space Time Code(MSSTC) 부호화 기법을 제안한다. MSSTC는 두 개의 직교 시공간 블록 부호(OSTBC)가 각 계층을 이루고 이들이 중첩되어 구성된 부호이기 때문에, 각 계층 내에는 간섭이 존재하지 않으나, 계층 간에는 간섭이 존재한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 기법은 각 계층을 구성하는 OSTBC의 위상과 전력을 전송순서 마다 적응적으로 바꾸어 할당해 줌으로써 계층 간 간섭이 재전송에 의해 빠른 속도로 완화되는 효과를 보인다. 제안된 기법에서는 수신단이 1 bit의 정보를 송신단으로 피드백하고 송신단은 이 피드백 정보를 이용하여 두 계층 중 한 계층만이 위상을 두 값 중 하나로 선택하도록 하므로 매우 효율적이다. 또한 본 논문은 제안된 기법에 적합한 계층 당 전력할당 비율을 해석적으로 구하여 적용하였다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 기법이 간섭 완화 효과로 인하여 기존 기법 들을 재전송환경에 적용한 방식들에 비해 우수한 성능을 보여줌을 확인하였다.

Purpose: Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among children younger than 14 years old. The purposes of this study were to 1) provide a basic overview of child safety seats, 2) review car seat safety usage and misuse, 3) suggest interventions to motivate the usage of child safety seats. Method: The design was a descriptive study with literature review. Previous studies were searched of PUBMED, ProQuest and KERIS. Result: Child safety seats and automobile safety belts protect children in a crash if they are used correctly, but if a child does not fit in the restraint correctly, it can lead to injury. A child safety seat should be used until the child correctly fits into an adult seat belt. Conclusion: To improve child passenger's safety, educational, legislational and environmental enforcements are needed: educational interventions to promote use of child safety seats, strengtened legislation to mandate use of child safety seats, establishment of public acquirements.
