Manual lifting, as a part of Manual Materials Handling Activities, is recognized by authorities in the field of occupational health and safety as a major hazard to industrial workers. The most important problem in applying fuzzy model of manual materials lifting is the decision of membership functions on each approaches. : Biomechanical, Physiological, Psychophysical. The primary objectives of this paper suggests to process deciding the most acceptable membership functions for establishing permissible weights on manual lifting activities using fuzzy sets.

Fuzzy mathematics is used to elicit and evaluate human psychophysical responses in panel tests. The fundamental instrument used is a bar graph whose data is then converted to a paired comparison matrix. Form this matrix we use the theory of Perron and Froebenius to obtain an eigenvalue and eigenvector which indicates not only the panelist's comparitive responses but also the consistency of the responses from that panelist. Tests were done to evaluate the procedure.

The muscular-skeletal disorders(MSDs) that have become a major issue recently in Korean industrial safety area are mainly caused by manual material handling task. The objective of this study is to provide scientific data for the establishment of work safety standard for Korean workers through the experiments of lifting task under various conditions, in order to prevent the muscular-skeletal disorders in the industrial work site. Eight male college students were recruited as participants. Three different lifting frequencies(1, 3, 5 lifts/min) and three twisting angles(including the sagittal plane and two asymmetric angles; i.e., 0°, 45°, 90°) for symmetric and asymmetric tasks, respectively, with three lifting range from floor to knuckle height, knuckle to shoulder, floor to shoulder height for one hour's work shift using free style lifting technique were studied. The maximum acceptable weight of load(MAWL) was determined under the different task conditions, and the oxygen consumption, heart rate, and RPE were measured or recorded while subjects were lifting their MAWLs. The results showed that: (1) The MAWLs were significantly decreased as the task frequency and task angle increased.; (2) The heart rate, oxygen consumption, RPE significantly increased with an increase in lifting frequency although maximum acceptable weight of lift decreased.; (3) The highest heart rate and oxygen consumption was recorded at the lifting range of floor to shoulder, followed by floor to knuckle and knuckle to shoulder.; (4) The RPE value showed that subjects perceived more exertion at the high frequency rate of lifting task and lifting range of floor to shoulder height. (5) The modeling for MAWL using isometric strength, task angle and lifting frequency were developed. It is expected that use of the results provided in this study may prove helpful in reducing MMH hazards, especially from lifting tasks for Korean, and can be used as a basis for pre-employment screening.

Background: Pain is often measured using psychophysical scaling techniques. However, all of these methods found their limits, since they were based on the subjective sensations reported by the subjects. It is, therefore, desirable to validate psychophysical pain measures by simultaneously measuring some physiological correlate of nociception. We studied an objective method for measuring pain in human volunteer using R(III) nociceptive flexion reflex. Methods: Four different intensity of electrical stimuli between perception and 1.4 times the R(III) nociceptive flexion threshold were delivered to the sole of the feet in 8 normal volunteers. We measured the flexion reflex activity in the skin over the ipsilateral tibialis anterior muscle and subjects rated each stimulus on a visual analog scale (VAS) Results: Both R(III) nociceptive flexion reflex activity and VAS ratings showed a linear relationship with stimulus intensity and with each other in all volunteers. Conclusions: R(III) nociceptive flexion reflex elicited through electrical stimulation may used as an objective pain measurement, previsionary based on our study paradigm.

Low back disorders (LBDs) are one of the most common and costly work-related musculoskeletal disorders. One of the major possible risk factors of LBDs is to work with static and awkward trunk postures, especially in a complex trunk posture involving flexion, twisting and lateral bending simultaneously. This study is to examine the effect of complex trunk postures on the postural stresses using a psychophysical method. Twelve healthy male students participated in an experiment, in which 29 different trunk postures were evaluated using the magnitude estimation method. The results showed that subjective discomfort significantly increased as the levels of trunk flexion, lateral bending and rotation increased. Significant interaction effects were found between rotation and lateral bending or flexion when the severe lateral bending or rotation were assumed, indicating that simultaneous occurrence of trunk flexion, lateral bending and rotation increases discomfort ratings synergistically. A postural workload evaluation scheme of trunk postures was proposed based on the angular deviation levels from the neutral position. Each trunk posture was assigned numerical stress index depending upon its discomfort rating, which was defined as the ratio of discomfort of a posture to that of its neutral posture. Four qualitative action categories for the stress index were also provided in order to enable practitioners to apply corrective actions appropriately. The proposed scheme is expected to be applied to several field areas for evaluating trunk postural stresses.

식품이 가지고 있는 고유한 색깔은 소비자의 기호성 또는 영양학적 가치의 지표가 될 수 있으며 가공 및 저장처리조건에 따른 식품의 중요한 인자로 작용 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 실험에서는 식물성 식품재료의 품종, 성숙도, 성장조건(온도, 수분. 제조공정 별)에 따른 Surface color change를 color & color difference meter와 Munsell disc 색도계(色度計)로 X, Y, Z값을 측정하고 공식에 의하여 Y(one of variation in luminous reflectance), x, y(chromaticity)를 구하여 이로부터 작성한 색도좌표상에서 식품의 색상(hue) 및 강도(chroma)를 산출하여 식품의 색도 변화를 검토하였다. 이와 같이 color & color difference meter와 같은 reflectometer를 이용하여 얻은 data를 중심으로 각각의 chromaticity diagram을 작성, 식품의 저장 및 가공처리별 색도변화를 측정하여 이것을 토대로 식품 품질의 특성을 판정할 수 있는 좋은 기초자료를 얻을 수 있었다.

색채는 크게 세 가지 속성인 색상, 명도, 채도로 구성되어 있으나 색채를 시감적으로 인지하는데 있어서 각 속성을 구분하여 독립적으로 인지하지 않는다. 채도와 밝기 관련 기존 선행된 연구들은 채도 속성의 순도 정도에 따라 밝기 속성이 다르게 느껴진다는 결과를 유의미하게 얻을 수 있었으나 정신물리학적 실험 대부분이 감산 혼합을 활용한 사례이기에 디스플레이 기반의 색채 인지 기초 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 자체 발광 시스템을 보유한 디스플레이 기반에서 채도와 밝기 관련 시각적 특성을 알아보고자 정신물리학적 실험을 진행하고 이를 분석하였다. 가산 혼합 형태의 디스플레이에서 일정한 밝기를 선정한 후 주요 색상의 채도를 조정하여 실험을 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 진행된 실험 결과를 분석하여 감산 혼합과 동일한 결과가 산출되는지 알아보고 색채 인지 특성에 대한 연구 자료로써 유의미 여부를 정의한 후 향후 연구방향을 제시한다.

Background and Objectives: The present study aims to investigate whether the cochlear implant electrode array design affects the electrophysiological and psychophysical measures. Subjects and Methods: Eighty five ears were used as data in this retrospective study. They were divided into two groups by the electrode array design: lateral wall type (LW) and perimodiolar type (PM). The electrode site was divided into three regions (basal, medial, apical). The evoked compound action potential (ECAP) threshold, T level, C level, dynamic range (DR), and aided air conduction threshold were measured. Results: The ECAP threshold was lower for the PM than for the LW, and decreased as the electrode site was closer to the apical region. The T level was lower for the PM than for the LW, and was lower on the apical region than on the other regions. The C level on the basal region was lower for the PM than for the LW whereas the C level was lower on the apical region than on the other regions. The DRs on the apical region was greater for the PM than for the LW whereas the DR was narrower on the apical region than on the other regions. The aided air conduction threshold was not different for the electrode design and frequency. Conclusions: The current study would support the advantages of the PM over the LW in that the PM had the lower current level and greater DR, which could result in more localized neural stimulation and reduced power consumption.

이차원적 의미론의 틀을 적용한 반물리주의 논증에 대한 대다수의 비판은 선험주의와 특히 대다수의 후험적 물리주의자들에게서 제시되었다. 이들은 과학적 동일성과 심-물 동일성의 유비에 근거하여 상상가능성에서 가능성을 도출할 수 있다는 견해를 비판한다. 이 논문은 예외주의적 버전의 후험적 물리주의가 상상가능성의 직관을 유지하면서도 동일성 언명의 후험성을 효과적으로 주장하는 데 성공적인지를 검토한다. 현상적 개념을 재인적 성향으로 분석하는 로어의 견해는 상상가능성-가능성 연결이 물리적 개념에만 적용될 뿐 현상적 개념에는 예외라는 '현상적 개념 전략(phenomenal concept strategy)'을 사용한다. 이에 대한 스톨자, 차머스, 래프만의 반박들을 소개하고 이 반박들이 반례로서 성립하지 않는 이유를 제시하면서 현상적 개념 전략을 최대한 방어한다. 기존의 설명이 의미론의 틀을 가정하는 반면, 로어의 현상적 개념 전략은 심리학적 사실을 반영하며 이 점은 '현상적 개념'의 획득과 소유에 관한 본성을 잘 반영한다. 결론적으로, 현상적 개념 전략을 사용하는 후험적 물리주의는 현상적 개념의 본성을 다각도로 반영하는 최선의 설명이다.
