작업부하 산정 모델을 개발하기 위해 인간-기계 시스템 환경에서 작업자의 작업성 취 및 생산성에 영향을 미치는 내적·외적 작업부하 요인들을 발견하여 이를 모델개발 에 고려하였다. 이들 작업부하 요인들이 작업자에 감지되는 정도에 대한 반응을 5점 척도를 도입하여 숫자가 아닌 자연어로 할 수 있게 하였으며 이렇게 작업자에 의해 주관적으로 판단된 작업스트레스 요인들은 각기 다른 가중치를 판단하기 위해 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process)를 사용하여 작업자가 직접 느끼는 작업부하 스트레스 정도를 비교판단 하게 하였고 이렇게 개념화된 모델을 실제 산업현장에서 사용할 수 있도록 컴퓨터를 통한 시험적인 작업부하 분석시스템을 개발하였다. 본 연구에 대한 검증을 위하여 실제 산업체에 종사하는 작업자들을 대상으로 인간공학적 작업부하 모델을 적용하여 측정하고 이를 작업자의 생리학적인 변화와의 관계를 비교 분석하여 본 결과 본 논문에서 개발된 모델은 작업부하 스트레스를 비교적 정확하게 측정할 수 있어서 앞으로 산업현장에 적용될 수 있는 신뢰성 있는 연구로 판단된다.

악취는 황화수소, 메르캅탄류, 아민류 및 기타 자극성 있는 기체상 물질이 사람의 냄새감각을 자극하여 불쾌감과 혐오감을 주는 냄새로 정의되며 소음이나 진동과 함께 감각오염이라 불리는 대기환경오염의 한 형태로 볼 수 있다. 악취는 일반적으로 여러 화합물들의 혼합물에 의해 야기되며, 인간에게 정신적$\cdot$생리학적 스트레스를 유발시켜 메스꺼움, 두통, 식욕감퇴, 호흡곤란 및 알레르기 현상 등으로 인체의 자각반응을 나타낸다.(중략)

수온은 개체들의 활성도와 분포를 제한하는 직접적인 요인이며, 에너지 수지에 포함되는 섭이 활동, 대사작용과 성장들을 포함한 대부분의 생리학적 과정들에 영향을 미친다(Fry, 1971). 적온 범위에 대한 변통은 종간 뿐만 아니라 종내에서도 크다. 그러므로 특정한 조건하에 생태적으로나 상업적으로 가치가 있는 종들에 대한 성장 실험(Scope for growth)은 필요하며, SFG는 넓은 범위의 환경상태에 대해서 민감하고, 정량적이며 통합적인 스트레스에 대한 반응을 제공한다. (중략)

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the laughter therapy program on perceived stress and psycho-neuro-endocrine-immune responses in obese women. Methods: A nonequivalent control group with a pretest-posttest design was used. The participants (n=60), whose age ranged from 30 to 50 years (pre-menopausal and body mass index of over $25kg/m^2$), were assigned to the experimental group (n=24) or control group (n=26). The experimental group was provided with the laughter therapy program (12 sessions) for 6 weeks. Results: There were significant differences in perceived stress, psychological stress response, fasting blood sugar, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha between the two groups after the program. However, there were no significant differences in normalized low frequency (norm LF), normalized high frequency (norm HF), LF/HF ratio, and cortisol between the two groups after the program. Conclusion: It was found that the laughter therapy program had positive effects on some variables in terms of perceived stress and psycho-neuro-endocrine-immuno responses. It is suggested that the laughter therapy in this study can provide the direction for developing a program for obese women.

The present study investigated the survival rate, respiration rate, plasma stress index, and histological changes according to exposure time of cultured red seabream (Pagrus major) and olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) exposed to Cochlodinium polykrikoides red tide. Fish cultured in natural seawater were used as the control group. Cochlodinium polykrikoides density was set to 5,500±200 cells·ml^-1 in the experimental groups. All red seabreams died within 1 hour of exposure to red tide, whereas all olive flounders died within 5 hours of exposure. Analysis of physiological response revealed that in red seabream, plasma glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) concentrations were increased; plasma glucose and superoxide dismutase (SOD) concentration were decreased. Meanwhile, in olive flounders, plasma cortisol, GOT, and GPT concentrations were increased; plasma glucose concentrations were increased during the first hour of exposure, followed by decrease after 5 hours; and plasma SOD, CAT, and GPx concentrations decreased during the first hour of exposure. Histological analysis revealed structural damage to the gills of both red seabream and olive flounder. In conclusion, the exposure of red seabream and olive flounder to Cochlodinium polykrikoides red tide at the density of 5,500 cells·ml^-1 induces oxidative stress, which activates antioxidant defense mechanisms, ultimately leading to liver and gill damage.

The enzyme sensor for ATPase activity consisted of an immobilized membrane of two enzymes, purine nucloside phosphorylase (NP) and xanthine oxidase (XOD), and oxygen electrode. The $H^ +-ATPase $ rate of the plasma membranes increased by low root temperature. A cucumber and a pumpkin plasma membrane $H^ +-ATPase $$ activities measured by the proposed sensor system were in good agreement with the results obtained by a conventional UV spetrometer assay. One cycle of assay could be completed within 3 minutes.

The physiological and photochemical responses of rice seedling to NaCl stress were investigated through measuring leaf relative water content (RWC), root water uptake and chlorophyll fluorescence. When plants were exposed to increased salinity stress, the visual symptoms of injury were significant at ${\geq}$500 mM NaCl concentration for 4 and 5 day stress periods. The differences in Fv/Fm between control treatment and plants treated with 500 mM and 1,000 mM NaCl were evident after 5 day and 4 day, respectively, whereas in root water uptake its effect was observed at 500 mM and 1,000 mM NaCl at 2 day of salt-stressed periods. Leaf RWC in salt-stressed plants decreased gradually with increasing salinity in exogenous solution and duration of salt stress, and these decrease showed leaf RWC of 58-68% atduration over 2 day stress of 1,000 mM NaCl treatment and 88% at 1 day stress. NaCl stress led to a significant inhibition of the light-induced greening in etiolated rice plants, especially in 4 and 5 day salt-stressed plants, which linearly decreased with NaCl concentration ($R^2$=0.812 and 0.918, respectively). The effects of NaCl stress in rice seedlings indicate that water uptake in root is more sensitive to increasing NaCl concentration and stress duration than Fv /Fm in leaves compared with the same NaCl concentration.

High frequency sounds disrupt physiological processes, such as feeding behavior, development and immune responses of Spodoptera exigua. We analyzed high frequency sounds with respect to biochemical changes in S. exigua. High frequency sound (5,000 Hz, 95 dB) suppressed protein synthesis and secretion of midgut epithelium. It also significantly inhibited a digestive enzyme activity of phospholipase $A_2$. The gene expression of three different heat shock proteins and apolipophorin III was altered, particularly in midgut tissue in response to high frequency sound treatments. High frequency sound treatments significantly increased sugar and lipid levels in hemolymph plasma. These results suggest that high frequency sounds are a physiological stress that induces biochemical changes in S. exigua.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic progressive disease, characterized by irreversible airflow limitation, with a partially reversible component. The pathological abnormalities of COPD are associated with lung inflammation, imbalances of proteinase and antiproteinase, and oxidative stress, which are induced by noxious particles and gases in susceptible individuals. The physiological changes of COPD are mucus hypersecretion, ciliary dysfunction, airflow limitation, pulmonary hyperinflation, gas exchange abnormalities, pulmonary hypertension, cor pulmonale and systemic effects. The airflow limitation principally results from an increase in the resistance of the small conducting airways and a decrease in pulmonary elastic recoil due to emphysematous lung destruction. This article provides a general overview of the pathophysiology of COPD.
