The prospects of current and coming solar-photovoltaic (PV) technologies are envisioned, arguing this solar-electricity source is beyond a tipping point in the complex worldwide energy outlook. Truly, a revolution in both the technological advancements of solar PV and the deployment of this energy technology is underway; PV is no longer an outlier. The birth of modern photovoltaics (PV) traces only to the mid-1950s, with the Bell Telephone Laboratories' development of an efficient, single-crystal Si solar cell. Since then, Si has dominated the technology and the markets, from space through terrestrial applications. Recently, some significant shift toward technology diversity have taken place. Some focus of this presentation will be directed toward PV R&D and technology advances, with indications of the limitations and relative strengths of crystalline (Si and GaAs) and thin-film (a-Si:H, Si, Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2, CdTe). Recent advances, contributions, industry growth, and technological pathways for transformational now and near-term technologies (Si and primarily thin films) and status and forecasts for next-generation PV (nanotechnologies and non-conventional and "new-physics" approaches) are evaluated. The need for R&D accelerating the now and imminent (evolutionary) technologies balanced with work in mid-term (disruptive) approaches is highlighted. Moreover, technology progress and ownership for next generation solar PV mandates a balanced investment in research on longer-term (the revolution needs revolutionary approaches to sustain itself) technologies (quantum dots, multi-multijunctions, intermediate-band concepts, nanotubes, bio-inspired, thermophotonics, ${\ldots}$ and solar hydrogen) having high-risk, but extremely high performance and cost returns for our next generations of energy consumers. This presentation provides insights to the reasons for PV technology emergence, how these technologies have to be developed (an appreciation of the history of solar PV)-and where we can expect to be by this mid-21st century.

Objectives : This research was conducted to find the subjective symptoms of musculoskeletal system for main jobs and job posture. Methods : A survey was conducted from September 15, 2011 to October 7, 2011 and 357 dental hygienists were responded. The survey was consisted of the working environment and medical equipments, psycho-social characteristics, health habits and education, job posture, subjective symptoms of musculoskeletal system pain, and so on. Results : In the survey on the frequency of job posture of dental hygienists by jobs, said they cast down or tilt their head by 15 degrees or more or twist or bend their back. The result of the analysis on the subjective symptoms of musculoskeletal system by main job showed that they experienced a pain in neck, shoulder, and back, although the order differed. The order of subjective symptoms of musculoskeletal system for casting down or turning head by 15 degrees or more, twisting or bending back, having shoulders not parallel to the ground, sitting at the end of a chair, and supporting the whole body with one leg or pressing on a pedal for treatment was from the shoulders to the neck to the back. The order of subjective symptoms of musculoskeletal system for having arms too far from the body or hunching for treatment and bending wrists inward or outward for treatment was from the shoulders to the back to the neck. Conclusions : Due to the characteristics of the job which requires one to have a proper view of a patient's oral cavity, most of the postures included casting down of head or bending of back. Therefore a development of new postures is needed to replace the existing job postures which pressure the musculoskeletal system. And shift rotation can be used as a preventive measure.

본 연구는 이산화탄소에 대한 화학적 흡수공정의 새로운 흡수제로서 글리신 수용액의 화학적 특성과 흡수성능을 고찰하였다. 이산화탄소 흡수에 관여하는 작용기인 아미노기를 활성화시키기 위해 세 종류의 알칼리원소(Na, Li, K)를 선택하여 글리신에 함침시켰다. 제조한 흡수제에 대한 IR 분석결과, 글리신 수용액의 암모늄이온(${-NH_{3}}^+,\;1600cm^{-1}$,single )형태로 존재하던 작용기가 아미노기($-NH_2,\;1550{\sim}1650\;cm^{-1}$, scissoring)형태로 전환된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, $^{1}H-NMR$과 $^{13}C-NMR$ 분석결과, 금속 양이온의 치환에 의한 염화현상(salting)으로 기존 글리신에서의 수소와 탄소원자의 화학적 이동의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 즉, 치환된 금속의 전기 음성도에 따라 리튬염, 나트륨염 그리고 칼륨염 순으로 화학적 이동이 나타났다. 한편 상온에서의 이산화탄소 흡수량은 비교대상인 1차 아민이 가장 높았으며, 나트륨 글리신염, 리튬 글리신염, 칼륨 글리신염 순으로 나타났다. 그러나 연소공정 배출가스 내 이산화탄소 포집을 가정하여 온도상승($40,\;60,\;80^{\circ}C$)에 따른 실험결과, 나트륨 글리신염이 MEA보다 높은 흡수량을 보였다.

This paper introduces emergy(spelled with "m") that is a new environmental indicator in architecture, aiming to clarify conflicting claims of building design components in the process of energy-retrofit. Much of design practitioners' attention on low energy use in operational phases, may simply shift the lowered environmental impact within the building boundary to large consumption of energy in another area. Specifically, building energy reduction strategies without a holistic view starting from natural formation, may lead to the depletion of non-renewable geobiological sources (e.g. minerals, fossil fuels, etc.), which leaves a building with an isolated energy-efficient object. Therefore, to overcome the narrow outlook, this research discusses the total ecological impact of a building which embraces all process energy as well as environmental cost represented by emergy. A case study has been conducted to explore emergy-driven design work. In comparison with operational energy-driven scenarios, the results elucidate how energy and emergy-oriented decision-making bring about different design results, and quantify building components' emergy contribution in the end. An average-size ($101.9m^2$) single family house located in South Korea was sampled as a benchmark case, and the analysis of energy and material use was conducted for establishment of the baseline. Adoption of the small building is effective for the goal of study since this research intends to measure environmental impact according to variation of passive design elements (windows size, building orientation, wall materials) with new metric (emergy) regardless of mechanical systems. Performance simulations of operational energy were developed and analyzed separately from the calculation of emergy magnitudes in building construction, and then the total emergy demand of each proposed design was evaluated. Emergy synthesis results verify that the least operational energy scenario requires greater investment in indirect energy in construction, which clearly reveals that efficiency gains are likely to be overwhelmed by increment of material flows. This result places importance on consideration of indirect energy use underscoring necessity of emergy evaluation towards the environment-friendly building in broader sense.

행정의 패러다임 변화로 경찰행정도 민간부분과 마찬가지로 고객중심 민원서비스제도의 개선을 위하여 노력하고 있으며 이로 인하여 서비스제공자인 경찰공무원도 부정적인 요소인 감정노동이 발생하고 있다. 이 연구는 해양경찰의 감정노동의 정도를 파악하고 감정노동이 직무소진에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 검증하고자 한다. 연구결과는 해양경찰공무원은 공공부분에 종사하는 다른 공무원과 동일하게 감정노동을 경험하고 있는 것으로 조사되었으며, 감정노동이 직무소진에 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 즉 해양경찰공무원이 지각하는 감정적 부조화가 고갈에 정(+)의 영향을 미치며, 또한 감정적 부조화는 냉소에 정(+)의 영향을 미치고, 감정표현의 주의정도는 직업효능감 저하에 부(-)적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 감정노동이 방치된다면 소진에 영향을 미쳐 조직에 부정적인 영향으로 성과달성에 중대한 장애요인이 될 수 있으며, 또한 개인의 신체적, 정신적으로 심각한 문제를 야기할 수 있으므로 이를 예방하기 위한 정책의 시행이 필요하다.

Doping or incorporation with exotic elements are two manners to regulate the optoelectronic properties of transparent conducting (TCO) cadmium oxide (CdO). Nevertheless, the method of doping host CdO by CdTe semiconductor is of high importance. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of CdTe-doped CdO films are studied for the sake of promoting their conducting parameters (CPs), including their conductivity, carrier concentration, and carrier mobility, along with transparency in the NIR spectral region; these are then compared with the influence of doping the host CdO by pure Te ions. X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical absorption spectroscopy, and electrical measurements are used to characterise the deposited films prepared by thermal evaporation. Numerous results are presented and discussed in this work; among these results, the optical properties are studied through a merging of concurrent BGN (redshift) and BGW (blue shift) effects as a consequence of doping processes. The impact of hydrogenation on the characterisations of the prepared films is investigated; it has no qualitative effect on the crystalline structure. However, it is found that TCO-CPs are improved by the process of CdTe doping followed by hydrogenation. The utmost TCO-CP improvements are found with host CdO film including ~ 1 %Te, in which the resistivity decreases by ~ 750 %, carrier concentration increases by 355 %, and mobility increases by ~ 90 % due to the increase of N_carr. The improvement of TCO-CPs by hydrogenation is attributed to the creation of O-vacancies because of H₂ molecule dissociation in the presence of Te ions. These results reflect the potential of using semiconductor CdTe -doped CdO thin films in TCO applications. Nevertheless, improvements of the host CdO CPs with CdTe dopant are of a lesser degree compared with the case of doping the host CdO with pure Te ions.

Due to its favorable optical properties, Cu₂SnS₃ (CTS) is a promising material for thin film solar cells. Doping, which modifies the absorber properties, is one way to improve the conversion efficiency of CTS solar cells. In this work, CTS solar cells with selenium doping were fabricated on a flexible substrate using sputtering method and the effect of doping on the properties of CTS solar cells was investigated. In XRD analysis, a shift in the CTS peaks can be observed due to the doped selenium. XRF analysis confirmed the different ratios of Cu/Sn and (S+Se)/(Cu+Sn) depending on the amount of selenium doping. Selenium doping can help to lower the chemical potential of sulfur. This effectively reduces the point defects of CTS thin films. Overall improved electrical properties were observed in the CTS solar cell with a small amount of selenium doping, and a notable conversion efficiency of 1.02 % was achieved in the CTS solar cell doped with 1 at% of selenium.

Background: In a wide range of industries, noise-induced hearing loss remains one of the most prevalent occupational problems. This study aimed to assess the noise exposure level and associated factors of hearing loss among textile workers in Yangon Region, Myanmar. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a Textile mill (Thamine), Yangon Region, from April to December 2018. In total, 226 workers who were randomly selected from 3 weaving sections participated in face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire. A digital sound level meter and pure-tone audiometer were used for the assessment of noise exposure level and hearing loss, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the associated factors of hearing loss. Results: In total workers, 66.4% were exposed to ≥85 dB(A) of noise exposure, and the prevalence of hearing loss was 25.7%. Age ≥35 years, below high school education, hearing difficulty, tinnitus, hypertension, > 9 years of service duration in a textile mill were positively associated with hearing loss. After adjusting confounding factors, age ≥35 years (adjusted odds ratio = 6.90, 95% confidence interval = 3.45-13.82) and tinnitus (adjusted odds ratio = 2.88, 95% confidence interval = 1.13-7.37) were persistently associated with hearing loss. Conclusion: Providing occupational hazard education and enforcement of occupational safety regulations should be taken to decrease the noise exposure level. The regular audiometry test should be conducted for assessment of hearing threshold shift. The employer needs to implement a hearing conservation program in workplace when noise exposure reaches or exceeds 85 dB(A) for 8 hours.

본 논문에서는 주기적인 구멍배열(periodic hole array, PHA) 패턴을 가진 나노금속구조 컬러필터의 문제점인 입사광의 각도에 따른 컬러필터 중심파장의 이동을 해결하기 위해 새로운 구멍 패턴인 polyperiodic hole array (PPHA)를 제시한다. 먼저 녹색파장대역 컬러필터를 만들기 위해 구멍의 직경과 주기를 정했으며 propagation length와 skin depth를 고려해 단위셀의 크기, 금속과 유전체의 두께를 설정했다. PPHA 패턴을 만들기 위해 주기적인 구멍배열을 국부적으로 회전시켜 전체적으로는 비주기적이지만 부분적으로 주기적인 패턴을 만들었다. 그 결과 PHA 패턴과 대비하여 PPHA 패턴 나노금속구조 컬러필터는 입사광각이 0°에서 30°까지 증가하였을 때 파장의 이동도가 최대 40% 개선되었다. 본 연구를 통해 나노금속구조 컬러필터의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있으며 디스플레이, 이미지 센서 등 이미징 디바이스 분야에 접목시켜 산업적으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.
