The zenithal light is the one that is entered down into the interior space or the spaces such as the inner court, through windows high located in the wall or openings of the roof. The aim of this study is to analyze the types of mechanism for the zenithal light by studying some examples related to the zenithal opening, and to investigate those characteristics. One of the most important features is a structural unit of the skylight entering the room. In this study, according to the structural unit, the direct light type, the duct-type and the shade type was distinguished, and each type can be divided into several modified types. Precisely, the direct light type is divided into an unexposed type and an exposed type of the source of light. The duct type is also divided into an intensive duct type and a distributed duct type. The shade type is classified into a ceiling surface shade, a reflections objet shade, a double ceiling shade and a wall shade.

Objective: Stripe marks, which occasionally occur on the shell, do not cause breakage to the shell and shell membranes of eggs. This study investigated the quality of intact eggs (IEs), minor stripe-marked eggs (MEs), severe stripe-marked eggs (SEs), and cracked eggs (CEs) during 3-week storage at $25^{\circ}C$. Methods: Shell eggs were collected the day after being laid and were washed. Among them, eggs without any visual cracks or stripe marks on the shells were evaluated as IEs by the plant employees using candling in a darkened egg storage room; the remaining eggs exhibited some eggshell defects. At day 3, the eggs were further categorized into IEs, MEs, SEs, CEs, and broken eggs (BEs) on the basis of the description given. Except BEs, which were discarded, the remaining eggs were stored at $25^{\circ}C$ (approximate relative humidity 50%) and then analyzed. Results: Stripe marks were observed primarily within the first 3 days after washing. At day 3, CEs had significantly (p<0.05) lower Haugh unit values, but all eggs had grades AA or A, according to the United States Department of Agriculture standard. As storage time increased, differences in egg quality between groups were more obvious. IEs had the highest eggshell breaking strength. During storage, the total plate counts and pathogens, namely Escherichia coli, Campylobacter spp., Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella spp., were not detectable in the internal content of IEs and SEs. Conclusion: In conclusion, cracks degraded egg quality severely and minor stripe marks only slightly influenced the egg quality.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop the adapted standard items of situation, background, assessment, recommendations (SBAR) processing for handover between nursing units in Korean hospitals and evaluate the validity and relevance of the standard items. Methods: A delphi method with 33 experts was used to evaluate content validity of the standard items. Then, 1,175 nurses working in general hospitals of more than 500 beds were recruited to evaluate the validity and relevance of the standard items for clinical implication. Results: Content validity was higher than 0.8. The highest scores for relevance among items in handover standards were state of consciousness in the assessment domain for a ward to a ward transfer ($3.82{\pm}0.40$), for a ward to an ICU ($3.85{\pm}0.38$), an ICU to a ward ($3.81{\pm}0.39$) and an ER to a ward ($3.85{\pm}0.37$). Congenital malformation was the highest relevance score for handover from a delivery room to a neonatal unit ($3.91{\pm}0.30$). Conclusion: This study evaluated validity and relevance of the essential contents for handover standards between units to improve communication quality among nurses. The findings of this study should also be applied in clinical nursing areas and the quality of information and effectiveness of usage of the standard should be evaluated.

Sensing module of standing and moving human body using shutter method was developed. The module consists of Fresnel lens, pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor, interface circuit of the PIR, micro control unit(MCU), and alarm light emitting diode(LED). The principle for standing human body is chopping the thermal of human body using camera shutter. The human sensing signal in MCU by algorithm of interrupt function is detected. By unifying an apparatus and print circuit board(PCB), the developed module can be replaced as commercial moving human body detector. Experiment results show that sensing distance is about 7.0m and sensing angles is about $110^{\circ}$ at room temperature. In these condition, sending ratio was 100% and the power dissipation of the module was 100mW.

The reduction of vacuum-dehydrated $Na_xAg_{12-x}-A, 0 {\le} x {\le} 9.2$, and its reoxidation by O$_2$, have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction. Also, the structure of $Na_6Na_6-A$ treated with hydrogen at room temperature has been studied by single crystal methods in the cubic space group Pm3m at $24{\circ}C (a = 12.221(2) {\AA})$. The diffraction pattern of dehydrated Ag$_{12}$-A reduced by H$_2$ contains only the (111) and (200) reflections of silver metal, indicationg that the zeolite structure has been lost, but the zeolite's diffraction pattern and structural integrity can be fully restored by oxidation with O$_2$ at 100 or 200${\circ}C$. In contrast, the structures of $Na_xAg_{12-x}-A$, x = 4.5 and 9.2, were not destroyed by treatment with hydrogen. Dehydrated Na$_6Ag_6$-A treated with 50 Torr of hydrogen gas at 24${\circ}C$ for 30 minutes has $6\; Na^+\;and\;1.27\;Ag^+$ ions at 6-ring sites. These $Ag^+ ions are associated with 2.54 Ag${\circ}$ atoms to form 1.27 $Ag_3^+$ clusters per unit cell. Also found were 0.7 $Ag_3^{2+}$ clusters per unit cell near the 8-rings. The structure was refined to the final error indices R$_1$ = 0.134 and R$_2$ (weighted) = 0.147, using 168 independent reflections for which $I_0 >3{\sigma}(I_0)$.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate types and characteristics of chemical substances used in LCD(Liquid crystal display) panel manufacturing process. Methods: The LCD panel manufacturing process is divided into the fabrication(fab) process and module process. The use of chemical substances by process was investigated at four fab processes and two module processes at two domestic TFT-LCD(Thin film transistor-Liquid crystal display) panel manufacturing sites. Results: LCD panels are manufactured through various unit processes such as sputtering, chemical vapor deposition(CVD), etching, and photolithography, and a range of chemicals are used in each process. Metal target materials including copper, aluminum, and indium tin oxide are used in the sputtering process, and gaseous materials such as phosphine, silane, and chlorine are used in CVD and dry etching processes. Inorganic acids such as hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid are used in wet etching process, and photoresist and developer are used in photolithography process. Chemical substances for the alignment of liquid crystal, such as polyimides, liquid crystals, and sealants are used in a liquid crystal process. Adhesives and hardeners for adhesion of driver IC and printed circuit board(PCB) to the LCD panel are used in the module process. Conclusions: LCD panels are produced through dozens of unit processes using various types of chemical substances in clean room facilities. Hazardous substances such as organic solvents, reactive gases, irritants, and toxic substances are used in the manufacturing processes, but periodic workplace monitoring applies only to certain chemical substances by law. Therefore, efforts should be made to minimize worker exposure to chemical substances used in LCD panel manufacturing process.

This paper aims at applying the data mining such as decision tree, neural network, and logistic regression to an unsold apartment complex in Wirye new town and developing the model forecasting the result of initial sale contract by house unit. Raw data are divided into training data and test data. The order of predictability in training data is neural network, decision tree, and logistic regression. On the contrary, the results of test data show that logistic regression is the best model. This means that logistic regression has more data adaptability than neural network which is developed as the model optimized for training data. Determinants of initial sale are the location of floor, direction, the location of unit, the proximity of electricity and generator room, subscriber's residential region and the type of subscription. This suggests that using two models together is more effective in exploring determinants of initial sales. This paper contributes to the development of convergence field by expanding the scope of data mining.

Purpose : Sleep disturbances in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are related to health problems after discharge. Therefore, active prevention and management are required. Hence, identification of the factors that affect sleep in patients who are critically ill is necessary. Methods : The PubMed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases were searched. Selection criteria were observational and experimental studies that assessed sleep as an outcome, included adult patients admitted to the ICU, and published between November 2015 and April 2022. Results : A total of 21,136 articles were identified through search engines and manual searches, and 42 articles were selected. From these, 22 influencing factors and 11 interventions were identified. Individual factors included disease severity, age, pain, delirium, comorbidities, alcohol consumption, sex, sleep disturbance before hospitalization, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular disease, and high diastolic blood pressure (DBP), low hemoglobin (Hb), and low respiratory rate (RR). Environmental factors included light level, noise level, and temperature. Furthermore, treatment-related factors included use of sedatives, melatonin administration, sleep management guidelines, ventilator application, nursing treatment, and length of ICU stay. Regarding sleep interventions, massage, eye mask and earplugs, quiet time and multicomponent protocols, aromatherapy, acupressure, sounds of the sea, adaptive intervention, circulation lighting, and single occupation in a room were identified. Conclusion : Based on these results, we propose the development and application of various interventions to improve sleep quality in patients who are critically ill.
