The objective of this study is to develop short-term prevention measures for minimizing possible human error in nuclear power facilities. To accomplish this objective, a group of subject matter experts (SMEs) were formed, which is consisting of those from regulatory bodies, academia, industries and research institutes. Prevention measures were established for urgent execution in nuclear power facilities on a short-term basis. This study suggests short-term measures for reducing human error on three different areas; (1) strengthening worker management, (2) enhancing workplace environments and working methods, and (3) improving the technologies regulating human factors. Under the leadership of the Ministry of Science and Technology, these short-term measures will be pursued and implemented systematically by utility and regulatory agencies. The details of prevention measures are presented and discussed.

There is currently a focus on usability of interactive computer software. Previous research in software ergonomics has indicated the importance of evaluating the usability of software user interfaces. Software developers, interface designers or human foctors engineers often confront the task of comparative evaluation among systems, versions or interface designs. This study presents a structured model for comparative evaluation of user interface designs using usability criteria and measures. The proposed model consists of twomain phases : the prescreening phase ad the evaluation phase. The first phase involves expert judgment-based approach with qualitative criteria. The prescreening phase uses absolute measurement analytic hierarchy process to filter possible altermative interfaces to a reasonable subset. The second phase involves user-based approach such as usability testing, with quantitative criteria. The objective of the evaluation phase is to evaluate a subset of altermatives using objective measures. A set of criteria and measures for evaluating the usability of computer software designs is presented. The proposed model provides practitioners with a structured approach to select the best interface based on usability criteria and measures.

By referring thirty-seven previous studies on manual material handling (MMH), this paper analyzed guidelines and main factors of one-handed tasks. The previous studies concerned main factors of distance, weight, frequency, posture, gender, age, training, direction of force, height of the force exerted, and object shape and size. Based on these factors, the criteria used to understand one-handed tasks were objective measures of maximum strength, reaction force, etc., psychophysical measures of maximum acceptable frequency and weight, etc., and physiological measures of oxygen uptake, heart rate, electromyography, etc. An allowance threshold model regarding quantitative and objective fatigue and workload would be suggested for future research. This study would be expected that it serve to establish and Korean recommendations of one-handed tasks.

실내 잔향을 해석하기 위하여 잔향의 주관적 지각에 대한 여러 가지 객관적 평가량들이 제안되어 왔으나, 그러한 개별적인 평가량들 사이의 관계를 이해하고 그들을 통합적으로 바라보는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니다. 본 논문에서는 다섯개의 대표적인 객관적 평가량-잔향시간, 초기 감쇠시간, 초기시간지연, 명료도, 도달에너지강도-을 선정하고 잔향 감쇠 곡선을 이용하여 그러한 평가량들을 통합하는 잔향모델을 수립한다. 제안된 모델의 기하학적 형태와 주관적 지각 특성 사이의 관계를 해석하고, 이를 잔향의 해석이나 합성에 응용할 때의 유용성 과 한계에 대해 논의한다.

Usability has become a primary factor in determining the acceptability and consequent success of consumer product. It is common that the product usability is evaluated by objective performance measures and/or subjective user preference measures. This study is concerned with objective evaluation of the product usability using 3-dimensional motion analysis. We evaluated car-audio position using 3-dimensional motion analysis. The parameters investigated in this experiment were height of car-audio, left-right angle, and front-end angle. The experimental results showed that the usability evaluation method using motion analysis was consistent with user's subjective assessment. This objective method can be applied to not only car-audio position evaluation but also various consumer products'usability evaluation.

Objective: This study aims to compare the usefulness of subjective measures which are comprised of existing methods like NASA-TLX, Bedford-scale and ZEIS and newly developed method like DALI in measuring drivers' mental workload in terms of validity, sensitivity and diagnosticity. Background: Nowadays, with the development of intelligent vehicle and HMI, mental workload of driver has become more and more important. For this reason, the studies on drivers' mental workload about driving situation and the use of information technology equipment such as mobile phones and navigations were conducted intensively. However, the studies on measuring drivers' mental workload were rarely conducted. Moreover, most of studies on comparison of subjective measures were used with performance based measure. However, performance based measures can cause distraction effect with subjective measures. Method: Participants (N=19) were engaged in a driving simulation experiment in 2 driving contexts (downtown driving and highway driving context). The experiment has 2 sessions according to driving contexts. The level of difficulties by driving contexts were adjusted according to existence of intersections, traffic signs and signals, billboards and the number of doublings. Moreover, as criteria of concurrent validity and sensitivity, the EEG data were recorded before and during the sessions. Results: The results indicated that all subjective methods were correlates with EEG in high-way driving. On the contrary to this, in downtown driving, all subjective methods were not correlates with EEG. In terms of sensitivity, multi-dimensional scales (NASA-TLX, DALI) were the only ones to identify differences between high way and downtown driving. Finally, in terms of diagnosticity, DALI was the most suitable method for evaluating drivers' mental workload in driving context. Conclusion: The DALI as newly developed method dedicated to evaluate driver's mental workload was superior in terms of sensitivity and diagnosticity. However, researchers should consider the characteristics of each subjective method synthetically according to research objective by selecting the method in subjective measures. Application: The results of this study could be applied to the intelligent vehicle and next generation of HMI design to decrease mental workload of driver and for the development of new subjective method in vehicle domain.

Basic objective in cluster analysis is to discover natural groupings of items or variables. In general, variable clustering was conducted based on some similarity measures between variables which have binary characteristics. We propose a variable clustering method when variables have more categories ordered in some sense. We also consider some measures of association as a similarity between variables. Numerical example is included.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) may adopt actions after completing impact assessments and reviewing results in accordance with the original strategy and impact assessment procedure (MEPC.1/Circ.885). The assessment of the impact of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction measures is an important step in determining whether to implement GHG regulations. This study identifies and proposes improvements in the impact assessment procedure for future mid- and long-term measures. Improvements for future measures should start with a review of "the procedure for assessing impacts on states of candidate measures" and "the actual process of the comprehensive impact assessment for short-term measures in 2021." The procedural improvements were largely derived from the order and period of task performance, the clear definition of terms, and the review of task results through lessons learned, analysis, and expert workshops. The impact assessment of future mid- and long-term measures should be procedurally improved to ensure uniformity and consistency, which will provide objective results for Member States and industries to help smooth the adoption of measures.

데이터 마이닝닝 기법들 중에서 연관성 규칙 마이닝 (association rule mining)은 대용량의 사건 발생 기록 데이터로부터 항목 간의 연관성을 측정하는 기법이다. 이 기법은 매우 방대한 양의 상품 또는 서비스 거래 기록 데이터로부터 항목들 간의 연관성을 측정하는 기법으로 제조업, 유통업, 보험업, 의료 및 교육 분야 등 많은 분야에 적용되고 있다. 의미 있는 연관성 규칙을 탐색하기 위한 흥미도 측도는 크게 객관적 흥미도 측도와 주관적 흥미도 측도, 그리고 의미론적 흥미도 측도로 분류할 수 있다. 이와는 별개로 기준 확인 또는 증거 지원과 관련된 측도들을 개발하기 위해 많은 시도가 있었으나 기준 확인 측도에 대한 연관성 평가 기준 조건 충족 여부나 기본적인 연관성 평가 측도인 지지도, 신뢰도, 그리고 향상도 등과의 관계는 아직 규명되지 않았다. 이에 본 논문에서는 가장 많이 활용되고 있는 비대칭적 기준 확인 측도에 대해 흥미도 측도의 기준에 대한 조건 충족 여부를 검토하는 동시에 기본적인 연관성 평가 측도들과의 관계를 수식을 통해 유도한 후, 예제를 통해 연관성 규칙의 관점에서 기준 확인 측도의 유용성을 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 본 논문에서 고려한 모든 기준 확인 측도들이 흥미도 측도의 기준에 대한 조건들을 모두 만족하였다. 또한 이들을 기본적인 연관성 평가 기준인 지지도, 신뢰도, 그리고 향상도와의 관계를 식을 통해 규명한 동시에 방향성과 행태적 해석 가능성을 예제를 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 이들 측도 중에서 Kemeny와 Oppenheim이 제안한 측도와 Rips가 제안한 측도가 가장 바람직한 연관성 평가 기준으로 활용할 수 있다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.
