The purpose of this review is to name and describe the important factors of musculoskeletal strain originating from pushing and pulling tasks such as cart handling that are commonly found in industrial contexts. A literature database search was performed using the research platform Web of Science. For a study to be included in this review differences in measured or calculated strain had to be investigated with regard to: (1) cart weight/ load; (2) handle position and design; (3) exerted forces; (4) handling task (push and pull); or (5) task experience. Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria and proved to be of adequate methodological quality by the standards of the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research. External load or cart weight proved to be the most influential factor of strain. The ideal handle positions ranged from hip to shoulder height and were dependent on the strain factor that was focused on as well as the handling task. Furthermore, task experience and subsequently handling technique were also key to reducing strain. Workplace settings that regularly involve pushing and pulling should be checked for potential improvements with regards to lower weight of the loaded handling device, handle design, and good practice guidelines to further reduce musculoskeletal disease prevalence.

In case of using pile foundation to support bridge abutments on soft ground, the soft ground often causes serious troubles such as lateral movement of the bridge abutments. The foundation piles in soil undergoing lateral movement is one of the typical passive piles. However, Generally, on design of the piles for abutments, the piles have not been considered as a passive piles; sofar:. Because it is difficult to assess the effect of the lateral movement on the desigin and reasonable design method is not established yet. In this study, several abutments, of which lateral movement was taken place, was investigated. Based on the investigation a criterion was presented to assess the lateral movement of the soft soil under backfill for abutment. By use of the criterion, the lateral movement of abutment could be predicted. As the results of thin study, it was anon that the lateral movement of abutment could be occured when the safety factor of slope stability is lese than either 1.5(without the pile effect) or 1.8 (with the pile effect). Especially, excessive lateral movements were occurred when the safety factor of slope stability is less than either 1.0(without the pile effect) or 1.1 (with the pile effect).

Objective: Root mobility due to reciprocating movement of the tooth (jiggling) may exacerbate orthodontic root resorption (ORR). "Jiggling" describes mesiodistal or buccolingual movement of the roots of the teeth during orthodontic treatment. In the present study, buccolingual movement is described as "jiggling." We aimed to investigate the relationship between ORR and jiggling and to test for positive cell expression in odontoclasts in resorbed roots during experimental tooth movement (jiggling) in vivo. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into control, heavy force (HF), optimal force (OF), and jiggling force (JF) groups. The expression levels of cathepsin K, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 protein, interleukin (IL)-6, cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant 1 (CINC-1; an IL-8-related protein in rodents), receptor activator of nuclear factor ${\kappa}B$ ligand (RANKL), and osteoprotegerin protein in the dental root were determined using immunohistochemistry. Results: On day 21, a greater number of root resorption lacunae, which contained multinucleated odontoclasts, were observed in the palatal roots of rats in the JF group than in rats from other groups. Furthermore, there was a significant increase in the numbers of cathepsin K-positive and MMP-9-positive odontoclasts in the JF group on day 21. Immunoreactivities for IL-6, CINC-1, and RANKL were stronger in resorbed roots exposed to jiggling than in the other groups on day 21. Negative reactivity was observed in the controls. Conclusions: These results suggest that jiggling may induce ORR via inflammatory cytokine production during orthodontic tooth movement, and that jiggling may be a risk factor for ORR.

Facial expression is important factor on social interaction. Facial muscle movement provides emotion information to develop social network. However, facial movement has less determined to recognize social emotion. This study is to analyze facial micro-movements and to recognize the social emotion such as intimacy, empathy, and valence. 76 university students were presented to the stimuli for social emotions and was measure their facial expression using camera. As a results, facial micro-movement. showed significant difference of social emotion. After extracting the movement amount of 3 unconscious muscles and 18 conscious muscles, Dominant Frequency band was confirmed. While muscle around the nose and cheek showed significant difference in the intimacy, one around mouth did in the empathy and one around jaw in the valence. The results proposed new facial movement to express social emotion in virtual avatars and to recognize social emotion.

Much research has been actively done so far on the inconvenience of each urban railway station; however, Research is on importance factor analysis on transfer facilities by considering characteristics of railway stations is relatively insufficient. In this study, a novel method of finding causality between transfer facilities(movement, information, comfortability, etc,) in terms of demands and platform types is provided by using SEM(Structural Equation Model). The results of SEM analysis show that a large demand transfer station if combined with island and segregate platform types, has a higher importance factor with respect to information facility, movement facility position and comfortability. In addition, a medium demand transfer station if combined with separate and separate platform types has a higher importance factor with respect to information facility, movement facility and comfortability.

In this research, an investigation of the eye movement was performed when the objects perceived by the eye are three-dimensional objects, two dimensional images, and three dimensional image. This investigation was done by observing the EOG(Electro-oculogram) waves which were achived from experiments. The observed waves were categorized into several groups. Differences among the waves were analyzed for each object and image perceived by the eye. In order to obtain waves to be analyzed, two kinds of experiments were performed. In each experiments, the saccadic eye movement and the smooth pusuit eye movement was considered as an independent variable individually. Waves obtained from the experiments were categorized into 4 types(Wave1, Wave2, Wave3, Wave4) depending on their characteristics. Unlike from the other images, three dimensional image was revealed as a key factor for the active movement of the eye. Futhermore, a unique eye movement was observed in the case of three dimensional image where the focus of the eye was achived in three steps.
