Construction is considered one of the most hazardous industries because of fatalities on site due to workers' unsafe behaviour. Occupational Health and Safety Practitioners are providing safety training through modern technologies like immersive and non-immersive Virtual Reality (VR). Workers are repeatedly exposed to construction hazards and thus become accustomed to underlying hazards. Providing simulated accidents in VR safety training aims to minimize worker risk habituation but repeated exposure to accidents can affect risk habituation toward the underlying construction risk. To this end, this study proposes a simulated accident VR safety training environment that exposes workers to repeated construction hazards and simulates a fall accident when workers don't follow the safety procedure. Longitudinal experiments were conducted, and participants' risk perception was measured using questionnaires. The results revealed that simulated accident safety training has potential effects on construction workers. The outcomes of this study lay the foundation for further studies to employ a VR safety training environment that enables workers to experience simulated accidents. This contributes to the development of an improved VR safety training design, taking into account the appropriate interval at which it should be provided. Such an approach can help workers become more sensitized to construction risks.

Neuromodulation was introduced for patients with poor outcomes from the existing traditional treatment approaches. It is well-established as an alternative, novel treatment option for voiding dysfunction. The current system of neuromodulation uses an open-loop system that only delivers continuous stimulation without considering the patient's state changes. Though the conventional open-loop system has shown positive clinical results, it can cause problems such as decreased efficacy over time due to neural habituation, higher risk of tissue damage, and lower battery life. Therefore, there is a need for a closed-loop system to overcome the disadvantages of existing systems. The closed-loop neuromodulation includes a system to monitor and stimulate micturition reflex pathways from the lower urinary tract, as well as the central nervous system. In this paper, we reviewed the current technological status to measure biomarker for closed-loop neuromodulation systems for voiding dysfunction.

The purpose of this study was to measure safety-awareness among elementary students, identify their safety-practices and actual status of accidents. The study was also done to acquire basic information on safety education to help students be more aware of safety, and more active in accident-prevention activities. A random sample was taken of 763 5th and 6th grade students in 4 different elementary schools in Seoul. Of the 735 questionnaires collected, 684 were complete and were used in the analysis. SPSS was used to analyze the questionnaires. The results are summarized as follows. First, the overall safety-awareness score was relatively high at 139.06 of a maximum of 164. and respondents were most conscious of the section on Home Safety. Second, the safety-practices of the respondents was at the middle level with a mean score of 56.01 of a maximum of 80. The factors affecting the safety-practice of the respondents were education of their parents, recognized learning proficiency, awareness of need for safety education, and level of safety-education conducted by parents. Third, $53.4\%$ of the respondents had experienced one or more accidents during the past year. Most of the accidents occurred during play and recreation and home accidents were the most frequently reported accidents. The risk factors related to the occurrence of accidents were gender, relationship with friends, recognized learning proficiency, and awareness of traffic safety. Forth, higher safety-awareness was found to be directly related to higher safety-practices. Respondents with lower safety-awareness reported higher rate of accidents. In view of the results so far achieved, habituation and formation of safety-oriented actions among students are highly required to prevent accidents. In order to do that, development of safety-awareness and in-life enforcement of safety-practice need to come first.

본 논문의 목적은 플로티누스에게 귀속된 소위 '자동적 행동 이론'을 비판적으로 검토하는 것이다. 이 이론에 따르면, 플로티누스적 현자(賢者)는 추론이나 숙고 없이 자동적으로 행동할 수 있다. 이 이론은 현자의 행동을 외부 자극에 대한 기계적인 반사 작용으로 축소함으로써 행위자를 자동기계로 만들 위험이 있다는 우려를 불러 일으켰다. 우리는 플로티누스가 묘사한 현자의 비-숙고적인 행동이 자동적이지 않음을 논증함으로써 플로티누스가 '자동적 행동 이론'을 주장하지 않았음을 보이려고 한다. 우선, 플로티누스가 인간 행동의 이상적 모델로 제시한 세계이성(즉, 세계영혼의 이성)의 비-숙고적 행동 방식에 주목할 것이다. 사실, 플로티누스는 세계이성이 세계를 '마치 자동적인 것처럼' 통치한다고 언급한다. 이 언급은 세계 통치의 자발적이고 자연스러운 방식을 가리키기 위한 것으로 해석된다. 이런 측면에서 세계이성의 작동 방식은 자연(즉, 세계영혼의 생산 능력)의 그것에 비교된다. 하지만 플로티누스는 세계이성은 자신이 무엇을 하는지 알면서 하지만, 자연은 모르면서 한다는 점을 지적한다. 이와 관련해서, 플로티누스는 세계이성이 무엇을 할지 이미 알기 때문에 추론하거나 숙고하지 않는다고 밝힌다. 이 점을 규명하기 위해 우리는 플로티누스가 제시한 슬기와 기술의 유비를 살펴 볼 것이다. 플로티누스는 세계이성을 아무런 의혹과 망설임, 어려움 없이 자신감 있게 작업하면서, 숙고의 매개 없이 자신의 지성을 표현하는 고도의 숙련 기술자 또는 예술가에 비유한다. 이런 시각에서 슬기에 따른 비-숙고적 행동은 숙고적 행동보다 우월한 것으로 나타난다. 플로티누스는 항상 상황 전체를 통제할 수 있는 세계이성과 달리 숙련 기술자에게는 계산이나 숙고가 필요한 어려운 상황들이 있음을 인정한다. 그렇지만 그는 숙련 기술자라면 쉽게 해결책을 찾을 수 있다고 확신한다. 이것은 현자가 보통 때에는 거장이나 대가처럼 숙고 없이 행동할 수 있지만, 비상 상황에는 숙고를 사용하되, 수월하고 창의적으로 도전에 대응할 것임을 암시한다. 나아가, 우리는 칙센트미하이의 '몰입' 개념과 그것을 적용한 안나스의 덕과 기술의 유비 논변을 사용하여 플로티누스적 현자의 행동 모델을 설명하려고 시도할 것이다. 마지막으로 현자의 유덕한 행동은 습관화된 행동이지만, 수동적이고 판에 박힌 자동적인 행동이 아니라, 능동적이고 유연하며 지적인 행동임을 보일 것이다.
