The present study explored consumer's perception and preference on providing information of fashion products by using QR code and suggested the possibility for consumer-to-consumer and consumer-to-company connection. A survey was conducted on males and females in their 20s-a population among whom the rate of smart phone penetration is higher than in any other age group and who tend to exchange information online. The results showed that consumers are dissatisfied with the amount of information, terms of instructions, and ambiguous washing symbols currently provided. Therefore, the study identified the need for better methods of providing information and found that QR code, which is able to deliver high-quality information on fashion products, can be an efficient alternative. Moreover, respondents felt the need for detailed washing instructions, information on handling, and functionality of material on high-involvement fashion products such as outdoor, padding, suit, and underwear worn next to the skin. They also desire styling tips or purchasing information such as SNS OOTD (Outfit Of The Day) utilizing the product, other products that may go well with the one purchased, and similar products on casual wear and coat used on a daily basis. Therefore, QR code used as a link to information web pages or a social network can help consumers to satisfy information needs and to use the products effectively.

The life expectancy of people has been steadily extended due to the improvement of living standards and the development of medical technology. Besides, the low birth rate and long life expectancy decrease the youth population while the elderly population is steadily increasing. Many elderly people have enough time and financial allowance, and the interest in health care is increased all over society. There are also increasing numbers of elderly people who exercise lightly in the playgrounds and parks such as running and walking. Outdoor fitness equipment that can be easily seen in neighbourhood parks, public spaces, etc. can be good health promotion tools that can be easily accessed in the daily life of the elderly. Outdoor fitness equipment Description Signs require a design that takes into account the declining vision of older users. Proper design is also important for the prevention of safety accidents in use. The purpose of this study is to find out the perception of the elderly about outdoor fitness exercise equipment sign system and to find the problem of recognition. To do this, we conduct user observation and interview surveys for the elderly. As a result, the emphasis of the caveat or problems with the size of the writing were pointed out, and it was necessary to explain the picture rather than the text. Also, there was a high demand for refraining from using foreign words, using universal words and including motor effects in signs. Based on the results of the user observation and interviews, we propose guidelines for the use of outdoor exercise equipment.

A smart city utilizes data collected from various sensors through the internet of things (IoT) and improves city operations across the urban area. Recently substantial research is underway to examine all aspects of data that requires for the smart city operation. Atmospheric data are an essential component for successful smart city implementation, including Urban Air Mobility (UAM), infrastructure planning, safety and convenience, and traffic management. Unfortunately, the current level of conventional atmospheric data does not meet the needs of the new city concept. New and innovative approaches to developing high spatiotemporal resolution of observational and modeling data, resolving the complex urban structure, are expected to support the future needs. The geographic information system (GIS) integrates the atmospheric data with the urban structure and offers information system enhancement. In this study we proposed the necessity and applicability of the high resolution urban meteorological dataset based on heavy fog cases in the smart city region (e.g., Sejong and Pusan) in Korea.

Naval battleships have systems to perform special purposes, such as the Command and Fire Control System (CFCS). Some of the this equipment should be equipped with an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS ) to ensure operational continuity and the backup of important data, even during unexpected power outages caused by problems with the ship's power generator. Heavy combat losses can occur if the equipment cannot satisfy the function. Therefore, it is important to design a stable UPS. The battery and Battery Management System (BMS) are two of the most important factors for designing a stable UPS. A power outage will be encountered if the battery and BMS are not stable. The customer will be exposed to abnormal situations, loss of important tactical data, and inability to operate some of the CFCS. As a result, an enhanced safety system should be designed. Thus, this study implemented and verified the improved system in terms of three methods, such as comparative analysis of the batteries, improvement about leakage current of the circuit, and tests of the aggressive environmental resistance to improve the UPS for CFCS.

Arsenic (As) contamination in groundwater is one of the main problems in Bangladesh. As toxicity causes serious human health problems such as edema, skin cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, hyperkeratosis, premature birth, and black foot disease. As contamination in groundwater mainly originates from the geological characteristics of the area due to the influence of anthropogenic activities. Since most of the people in Bangladesh rely on tube well for drinking water, it is necessary to investigate the current status of As pollution and identify the treatment technologies that can be used to provide arsenic-free drinking water in water-scarce areas. A total of 92 papers were reviewed in this study to present a complete overview of the recent status of groundwater As contamination in Bangladesh and different low-cost remediation technologies. A method for evaluating the relative feasibility of different treatment technologies was also utilized to determine the most appropriate technologies for groundwater As treatment in Bangladesh. The districts with the highest groundwater As contamination include Brahamanbariya, Tangail, Barisal, Pabna, Patuakhali, Kurigram, Magura, and Faridpur, with concentrations exceeding 0.05 mg/L. Only six districts had relatively low groundwater arsenic concentrations (0.01 mg/L), including Kushtia, Khagrachari, Jessore, Dinajpur, Meherpur, and Munshiganj. There were a number of technologies used for treating As in water, but aerated electrocoagulation, Mg-Fe-based hydrotalcite-like compound, and electro-chemical As remediation (ECAR) reactor were found to be the most feasible treatment methods for As. Overall, the investment, operational, and maintenance costs, availability of materials, and expertise requirements should be considered when selecting the most appropriate treatment method for As in water.

The purpose of this study is to classify the quality attributes of service quality for the elderly in public libraries, derive satisfaction coefficients and dissatisfaction coefficients, and present the priority improvement of service quality. To this end, a survey was organized with 22 questions from LibQUAL+ for elderly users who use library in uiseong-gun, gyeongsangbuk-do. Quality factors for service were classified into three areas of LibQUAL+ based on the kano model, and the satisfaction index and dissatisfaction index felt by users for each service quality were calculated through timko's customer satisfaction coefficient. Based on this, a Potential Customer Satisfaction Improvement index (PCSI index) was obtained to determine how much user satisfaction can be improved when actual requirements are met. As a result of classification of quality attributes of service quality, it was classified into 9 attractive quality, 7 one-dimensional quality, 1 indifference quality, and 5 must-be quality. In the improvement ranking for service, the first place was 'making electronic resources accessible from my home or office', the second place was 'print and/or electronic journal collections I require for my work' and the third place was 'a library web site enabling me to locate information on my'. It is expected that the study results can be used to present quality factors that should be managed and improved first when providing services for the elderly.

수문조사기기 검정은 강수량, 수위, 유량 등과 같은 수문자료를 관측하는 수문조사기기가 대상지역의 수문상황을 정확하게 관측하는지를 검사하는 일련의 과정으로 「수자원의 조사 계획 및 관리에 관한 법률」 제12조에 법적 기반을 두고 있다. 검정 대상은 강수량, 수위, 유속, 유사량, 토양수분량, 증발산량, 증발량 측정기기 총 7종이며, 환경부장관으로부터 한강홍수통제소가 검정업무를 위임받고, 한국건설기술연구원과 한국수자원조사기술원이 위탁받아 운영중에 있다. 최근에는 증발산량, 토양수분량 및 유량 측정기기기 등이 첨단화되어 기존 검정 방식에 대한보완 및 신설에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 특히, 유량 측정시 기존에 사용하였던 회전식 유속계는 ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) 유량측정기기로 대체되어 활용률이 2013년 24%에서2021년 67%로 약 2.8배 급격히 증가하였다. 하지만 수문조사기기 검정 관련 고시 내 ADCP에 대한검사방법 및 허용오차 등의 규정이 부재하여 수문조사기기의 검정 공백이 발생하는 등의 문제가 존재하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 ADCP 운영 및 기술 현황, 현행 법령, 국외 사례 등을 검토하여 ADCP 유량측정기기의 검사방법 및 허용오차에 대한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. ADCP 검사방법은 총 5단계로 외관검사, 자가진단 검사, 온도센서 검사, 수심측정 검사, 유량비교측정 검사에 따라 검정을 실시한다. 첫 번째 외관검사시에는 기기 외관과 센서 등 물리적 손상을 점검하고, 두 번째 자가진단 검사에서는 센서 변환 매트릭스 값, 수신부 센서 테스트, RAM/ROM 테스트, 통신 테스트 등에 관한 정상값 산출 여부를 확인한다. 세 번째 온도센서 검사에서는 검증용 온도센서를 이용한 값과 ADCP에 부착된 온도센서 값과 차이를 확인하고 ±2℃초과시 재검사 또는 적절한 조치를 취한 후 다음 단계의 검사를 진행한다. 네 번째 수심측정 검사에서는 수조 내 수심 측정을 확인하여 실제 수심과의 오차를 확인하고 ±1% 초과시 재검사 또는 적절한 조치 후 다음 검사를 실시한다. 유량비교 측정검사에서는 각 기기 간의 평균유량의 상대오차를 평가하는 것으로 ±5%미만에는 합격, ±5이상 ±10%미만에서는 재검사, ±10%이상에서는 공장수리를 권고하도록 하고, 1~5 단계의 검사를 통과한 기기를 대상으로 인증서를 발급하도록 한다. 유량비교 측정검사시에는 매년 ADCP를 사용하는 일반기업 및 공공기관 등이 모여 ADCP의 성능을 상호간 비교하는 'ADCP 기술협력 워크숍'을 확장하여 실시할 수 있다. 각 검사 단계의 허용오차는 USGS 또는 제조사 기준과 2022년 ADCP 기술협력 워크숍 성능검사 분석 결과를 토대로 하였다. 본 ADCP 검정 방안은 향후 ADCP 모델별로 단계별 시범 검토를 통해 세부사항에 대한 제시가 필요하며, 온도센서 검사, 수심측정 검사, 유량 비교측정검사에 대한 허용오차에 대한 타당성에대한 검증 및 검토가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

섬진강은 하굿둑이 없는 열린 하구로서 하구로부터 약 21km까지 조석의 영향을 받아 강물의 염도가 시간에 따라 변하는 환경이다. 오랫동안 섬진강 하구는 다양한 원인으로부터 바다화로 대표되는 염하구 문제가 지역 현안 사항으로 제기되어 왔다. 상류에서의 용수사용 증가로 인한 하천 유하량 감소 또한 그 원인들 중 하나로 판단됨에 따라 실제 하구까지 내려오는 하천유량과 바다로부터 유입되는 해수를 구분하여 정량화하는 연구가 필요한 사안이다. 본 연구의 목적은 섬진강 수계 하구에서의 다양한 생태환경을 보전하기 위한 적정 염분유지가 요구됨에 따라 섬진강하구 염분계측기(섬진강대교)를 설치하여 염분농도를 관측하고 하천유량, 하천취수 및 해양조위에 따른 염분농도 변화를 모의하여 하천유량과 염분과의 관계를 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 EFDC(Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) 수치모델을 이용하여 상류로는 구례군(송정리) 수위관측소부터 하류로는 여수해만 및 문의리까지의 구역을 설정하고 광양조위, 하동수위 및 고정식 염분 계측기 관측염분농도 자료를 이용하여 수치모델링의 재현성을 검증하였다. 검증 결과, 결정계수(R²)는 0.87(하동수위), 0.93(광양조위), 0.56(섬진강대교 염도)를 나타냈다. 모델 검보정 후 하천유량에 따른 염분변화 실험을 실시하여 염분농도 거동을 분석하였다. 모델 결과, 섬진강하구에서의 염분거동은 소조기때 염분체류 현상으로 인해 대조기 거동과는 큰 차이를 나타냈다. 따라서, 모델링 결과를 이용한 유량-염분 조견표는 각각 대조기와 소조기로 구분하여 산정하였다. 대조기때는 송정유량이 10톤/초의 평균갈수량이 흐를 경우 다압에서의 취수량이 2.52톤/초 ~ 4.63/초로 증가할수록 18.8psu ~ 19.9psu로 증가하였다. 소조기의 경우는 25.5psu ~ 25.7psu로 대조기와 비교하여 크게 증가됨을 나타냈다. 본 연구의 결과는 객관적인 생태환경 보전을 위한 적정염분농도 범위가 도출된다면 이를 유지하기 위한 필요유량과 필요유량을 확보하기 위한 장단기적인 대책수립이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presented a management model for continuous development and co-prosperity between freight car transportation companies and consigned car owners, which are the subjects of the consignment system. A structural equation-based questionnaire was created to measure the variables necessary for establishing a management model, such as business owners' perceptions of each other and their needs for improvement, by analyzing the internal and external environment of the freight transport market and conducting surveys of freight companies and consigned vehicle owners. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the rationality of the consignment system did not have a significant effect on financial performance or the level of transportation service, while the external environment and compensation system of the transportation business had a significant impact on financial performance and level of transportation service. In addition, the rationality of the consignment system does not affect the improvement of the relationship between project entities, but it does affect the level of trust. It was confirmed that the external environment and compensation system of the transport business have an effect on both relationship improvement and trust level improvement. It was found that the level of trust affects financial performance, and relationship improvement does not affect both financial performance and transportation service level. It is necessary to manage the consignment system based on the confirmed analysis results in order for the domestic freight company and the consigned vehicle owner to coexist and develop each other in the truck transportation market.
