This is a basic study designed to discover the most comfortable thermal environment for Korean residences. The purpose of the research is to observe and measure the summer thermal environment in Korean urban detached single family houses and apartments by utilising proposed evaluation standards and methods. The technique used involves the measurement of environmental elements, such as indoor temperature, relative humidity and radiant temperature both in detached single family houses and apartments. Also, in order to understand the resident's thermal comfort response. ASHRAE' thermal sensation 9th level, indoor temperature 5th level, and thermal discomfort 4th level in the psycho-physical voting scale (1972) was used. In conclusion, among Korean urban residences, detached single family houses provided a more stable thermal environment than apartments, as shown by physical psychological evaluations. The possible reason for such stability in detached single family houses may be the usage of reinforced concrete structures which maintain consistent temperatures.

In order to create a worker-friendly environment for institutional foodservice, facilities operating with a dry kitchen system have been recommended. This study was designed to compare the work safety and work environment of foodservice between wet and dry kitchen systems. Data were obtained using questionnaires with a target group of 303 staff at 57 foodservice operations. Dry kitchen facilities were constructed after 2006, which had a higher construction cost and more finishing floors with anti-slip tiles, and in which employees more wore non-slip footwear than wet kitchen (76.7%). The kitchen temperature and muscular pain were the most frequently reported employees' discomfort factors in the two systems, and, in the wet kitchen, "noise of kitchen" was also frequently reported as a discomfort. Dietitian and employees rated the less slippery and slip related incidents in dry kitchens than those of wet kitchen. Fryer area, ware-washing area, and plate waste table were the slippery areas and the causes were different between the functional areas. The risk for current leakage was rated significantly higher in wet kitchens by dietitians. In addition, the ware-washing area was found to be where employees felt the highest risk of electrical shock. Muscular pain (72.2%), arthritis (39.1%), hard-of-hearing (46.6%) and psychological stress (47.0%) were experienced by employees more than once a month, particularly in the wet kitchen. In conclusion, the dry kitchen system was found to be more efficient for food and work safety because of its superior design and well managed practices.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the satisfaction of the adolescents' school backpack bag and the important criteria when purchasing for developing comfort and functional backpack. The questionnaire was composed and surveyed with 245 middle school students and the data were analyzed through SPSS 13.0. Purchasing criteria were grouped into 5: practical, shop environment, comfort, aesthetic and maintenance. Satisfaction factors were function/comfort, fashion/aesthetic and durability/A.S. 50.2% of students recognized the inappropriate wearing backpack might cause the deformation of body shape. And the wrong habit of wearing bag was found to affect the body posture of students. Main symptoms caused by wearing it for long time are ‘sweating around shoulder and back' and ‘feeling stiff in shoulders and waist'. Needs arise to develop the bag which could prevent them and to educate students how to wear bags. According to the result from MDS of purchasing criteria, one axis is product vs. environment, and other is functional vs. psychological aspects. According to the result from MDS of bag satisfaction, one axis is function/durability vs. fashion/appearance, and other is gestalt quality vs. part quality. They wanted the improvement in the aspects of shape/design, material, maintenance, comfort and usability of the bags. Specially it is required that we research the adolescent customer-oriented way and develop the new materials or shapes pursuing both shoulder comfort and characteristics.

본 연구는 악성두피종양 환자를 대상으로 자체 개발한 보루스헬멧(bolus-helmet)의 제작방법에 관한 소개 및 유용성 평가에 관한 연구이다. 두피종양환자의 치료를 위한 헬멧제작(helmet-production)에 있어 매우 창의적이고 다양한 방법의 연구들이 시도되어 왔고, 앞으로도 지속되어져 나갈 것이지만, 보고된 대부부분에 연구자료에서 헬멧(helmet)의 제작에 소요되는 시간적 경제적인 비용이나 제작의 편의성과 과정의 복잡성으로 인해 환자가 부담해야 하는 심리적인 부담감과 신체적 물리적 불편함은 크게 감소되지 않았으며, 치료효과를 높이기 위한 방안으로 최근 연구되고 있는 3D-프린터(printer) 기술과 같이 보다 첨단화된 기술과 장비를 사용하는 등에 연구들이 소개되고 있는데 이러한 방안들 또한 시간적 경제적인 소요비용과 심리적 물리적 부담을 오롯이 환자의 몫으로 보다 가중되고 있는 것은 아닌가? 하는 우려의 생각 또한 지울 수 없는 것이 현실이다. 이에 본원에서는 보루스(bolus)가 가진 물리적 성질을 그대로 유지하고 사용함으로 별도의 추가비용의 발생이 없이, 보루스(bolus)를 이용해 헬멧(helmet)을 제작함으로 환자에게 발생된 물리적 신체적인 불편함을 감소시키고자 하였으며, 헬멧의 제작에 요구되는 절차와 시간을 줄이고자 안내서(guide-line)를 제작하여 공유함으로 약 3~40분의 시간이면 누구나 쉽게 제작이 가능한 시스템을 마련하도록 했다. 헬멧(helmet)의 제작에 소요되는 시간과 환자가 부담해야 하는 경제적 비용 및 물리적인 불편함을 감소시킴으로 보이지 않게 발생되는 환자의 심리적 부담 또한 최소화할 수 있었다고 사료되며, 추가적으로 헬멧의 유용성 평가에 있어서도 공기층(air-gap)의 발생간격을 줄이는 방안을 지속적으로 모색하고 발전시켜 나감으로 결과적으로 2.0mm이내로 유지하는 방안을 본 연구를 통해 제작방법과 함께 소개할 수 있게 되어 매우 반갑게 생각된다. 본원에서 제공한 헬멧의 제작에 관한 안내서(guide-line)을 통해 방사선종양학과에 종사하는 누구나 보루스(bolus)를 이용하여 방사선 치료에 요구되는 헬멧(helmet)을 쉽게 제작할 수 있게 되기를 바라며, 제작과정에서 생기는 궁금한 사항이나 문의가 있다면 언제든지 본 연구자의 메일과 휴대폰을 통해 문의해 주시기를 적극적으로 바라고 소망합니다.

This study is an attempt to provide fundamental information on how to manage menstruation discomforts by surveying the subjective viewpoint s on menstruation from female college students. Utilizing 40 Q-samples in Seoul between May 1 and June 30, 2001, data has been collected from 30 randomized P-samples. Data analysis involves the PC QUANL Program, Q-factor analysis, and Principal Component Analysis. The result of the data analysis gives four types of categorizat ion as follows : The first is the "inconvenience-recognizing" type that includes 10 subjects out of 30. During menstruation, this type of subject usually complained of physical discomfort such as pain in the lower back and abdomen. Even though they considered menstruation to be troublesome, they did nothing about the in convenience. The second is the "positively-accepting" type that includes 7 subjects out of 30. This type of subject takes menstruation as natural and even a privilege for a woman. They think they are blessed to conceive a new life through their biological cycle. Therefore unlike other types, they rarely complained of any physical and psychological discomfort caused by menstruation. The third is the "destined course" type that includes 6 subjects out of 30. This type of subject endures the discomfort caused by menstruation with out any medication or medical treatment. They appeared to take menstruation a s fate without having any specially negative or positive attitude. The fourth is the "negatively-accepting" type that includes 7 out 30. This type of subject takes menstruation as negative, even if it is unavoidable for a woman. Menstruation, very negatively taken, felt uncomfortable and caused them to have pain in the lower back and abdomen and an oversensitive nervous system. The four types of attitude towards menstruation show their own characteristic features in dealing with menstruation. Understanding these features in detail will enhance nursing implementation which is related to menstruation. This study is intended to provide fundamental information with which nurses can deal with menstruation problems by investigating subjective viewpoints about menstruation. This study is a stepping stone on which further study on this subject can build to develop an effective and efficient way to deal with menstruation discomforts.
