Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the optimal positions of safety grab bars for effective sit-to-stand (STS) movement by comparing the results of the STS movement while using a safety grab bar installed under two different conditions: the height of the grab bar installation was determined by (1) the Building Act and (2) the principle of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). Methods: A total of 50 undergraduate students participated in this study, and they were required to perform an STS movement twice under each condition. A baropodometric platform for sitting and a Biorescue (RM Ingenierie, France) were used to collect and analyze changes in the center of pressure (COP) on the left and right sides before and after performing the STS movement. The average completion time for the STS movement was also measured for analysis. Moreover, the participants were asked to express their individual subjective preferences regarding the two positions of the grab bars. Results: The COP changes were significantly smaller when performing the STS movement with the grab bar installed at the height determined by the PNF principle than the Building Act (p<0.01), and the difference in the completion time of the STS movement was not statistically significant between the two conditions. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that the principle of PNF can be useful for planning therapeutic exercise as well as for proposing the optimal grab bar position for older adults and those with health-related issues when performing the STS movement. In addition, this may serve as a basic rehabilitation technique for maintaining remaining functions and providing functional efficiency.

A newly developed rainwater harvesting (RWH) system reliability model is evaluated for roof area of buildings in Haeundae District of Busan. RWH system is used to supply water for toilet flushing, back garden irrigation, and air cooling. This model is portable because it is based on a non-parametric precipitation generation algorithm using a markov chain. Precipitation occurrence is simulated using transition probabilities derived for each day of the year based on the historical probability of wet and dry day state changes. Precipitation amounts are selected from a matrix of historical values within a moving 30 day window that is centered on the target day. Then, the reliability of RWH system is determined for catchment area and tank volume ranges using synthetic precipitation data. As a result, the synthetic rainfall data well reproduced the characteristics of precipitation in Busan. Also the reliabilities of RWH system for each of demands were computed to high values. Furthermore, for study area using the RWH system, reduction efficiencies for rooftop runoff inputs to the sewer system and potable water demand are evaluated for 23%, 53%, respectively.

This study was conducted to solve the water shortage problem by reclaiming urine from homes or public places and using it as cleaning water for toilets. The process used in this experiment is a chemical oxidation process combining ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and UV. We set the key substance that is to be removed as chromaticity and conducted the experiment to remove it. If the quantity or concentration of injected ozone, UV, and hydrogen peroxide is insufficient, then the chromaticity will initially increase due to low oxidizing power, and will later decrease. In addition, the efficiency of removing chromaticity appeared to be higher, depending on the quantity of ozone injected, for medium concentrated urine than highly concentrated urine. However, the absolute quantity of removed chromaticity was about 68% higher for highly concentrated urine, when 16 g/hr of ozone was injected. The higher the pH level, the reaction time and efficiency of removing chromaticity were higher, and in normal conditions, in reference to a pH of 8.55, there was a 6% difference in efficiency between a pH level of 5.05 and a pH level of 10.12. Finally, when processing urine through an ozone-only process, COD decreased steadily over time, but DOC did not decrease. This is because ozone reacts selectively with organic matter.

인원계수는 특정 시설의 혼잡도나 이용량을 파악하여 시설을 효율적으로 관리하거나 화장실 등 특정 장소의 출입인원을 파악하여 자동으로 절전기능을 구현함으로써 에너지 절약을 최대화하기 위한 용도로 늘 관심있는 방법이었다. 영상처리에 의한 인원계수 방법은 매우 비용이 비싸며 조명의 주위환경에 심하게 영향을 받는 단점이 있고 area sensor의 경우 인원이 팔짱을 끼고 근접하여 통과할 경우 1명의 인원으로 계수하는 단점이 있다. 비용이 비싸고 조명에 영향을 받거나 특정한 경우 인원계수가 부정확한 기존의 방법을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 라이다(LIADAR)의 원리를 이용한 새로운 인원계수 방법을 제안한다. 병원 출입인원을 정확하기 계수하는 것은 병원시설을 관리하는 데도 도움이 되겠지만 코로나19가 만연한 현시점에서 효율적인 방역대책을 세우는 데도 도움이 될 것이다.

Objectives: The purpose of this research was to explore Fall Risk Home Environment(FRHE) and to investigate the association between FRHE and fall experience among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: The data were collected from 299 older adults using FRHE through observation and interview at home of the participants and were analyzed with SPSS 22.0 applying descriptive statistics, χ²-test, t-test, and logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of fall experience during the past year was 51.5%. 'No handles beside the toilet or bathtub'(73.2%) was most common FRHE factor, 'thresholds in your room or kitchen'(68.9%), 'wearing socks, outer socks, or slipper when you move in the house'(59.5%), and threshold on the gate (apartment entrance)(55.5%) were followed. The findings of logistic regression of FRHE on fall experiences showed darkness of house had the highest Odds Ratio (OR 9.83 95% CI 3.75-25.71), followed by furniture obstructs your walking in the house(OR 7.07, CI 2.88-17.36), dark kitchen (OR 5.13, CI 2.38-11.03). The group having fall experiences presented significantly higher score of FRHE than the group of non experiences of fall. Conclusion: The community dwelling older adults exposures to various FRHE factors and FRHE might increase the risk of falls. Assessing and modifying the home environment could be a good strategy to prevent fall among older adults.

Intestinal parasitic infections are a public health burden and a major cause of illness in developing countries. The diseases lead to various health threats, including growth retardation and mental health-related disorders, especially in children. We assessed the risk factors for intestinal parasitic infections among children aged 12-59 months residing in Nyamasheke District, Rwanda. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using secondary data from 1,048 children aged 12-59 months whose stool samples were examined for the presence of intestinal parasites and whose results were registered in the laboratory information system in 2020. The prevalence of intestinal parasites in children aged 12-59 months was 53.2%. The dominant parasites were Ascaris lumbricoides (13.1%), followed by Giardia lamblia (10.9%), Entamoeba histolytica (7.9%), Trichuris trichiura (6.5%), hookworms (1.7%), and Taenia species (1.4%). A significant association was observed between intestinal parasites and the literacy of mothers or children's caregivers (odds ratio (OR)=5.09, P<0.001). Children from farming households were 2.8-fold more likely to contract intestinal parasitic infections than those from nonfarming households (OR=2.8, P<0.001). A significant association was also observed between intestinal parasites and food safety (OR=4.9, P<0.001). Intestinal parasitic infections were significantly associated with hand hygiene practices after using the toilet and washing fresh fruits before eating (P<0.001). The information gathered will help public health providers and partners develop control plans in highly endemic areas in Rwanda.
