Fatigue lowers an individual's ability and makes it difficult to perform work. As fatigue accumulates, concentration decreases and thus the possibility of causing a safety accident increases. Awareness of fatigue is subjective, but it is necessary to quantitatively measure the level of fatigue in the actual field. In previous studies, it was proposed to measure the level of fatigue by expert judgment by adding objective indicators such as bio-signal analysis to subjective evaluations such as multidisciplinary fatigue scales. However this method is difficult to evaluate fatigue in real time in daily life. This paper is a study on the fatigue classification model that determines the fatigue level of workers in real time using speech data recorded in the field. Machine learning models such as logistic classification, support vector machine, and random forest are trained using speech data collected in the field. The performance evaluation showed good performance with accuracy of 0.677 to 0.758, of which logistic classification showed the best performance. From the experimental results, it can be seen that it is possible to classify the fatigue level using speech signals.

In this study, the porous structure inside the hair were observed using an optical microscope without damaging the hair, and the porosity inside the hair was quantitatively expressed using the results. Experiments were conducted on the effect of the decrease in density inside the hair on the bending and tensile properties of the hair, and experiments on endogenous and extrinsic factors were conducted to find out the causes of the decrease in density inside the hair. As for the endogenous factor, the porosity of gray hair, one of the representative symptoms of aging, was compared with normal hair. As for extrinsic factors, it was observed that the internal density of hair decreased by surfactant and heat, which are factors that can cause hair damage in daily life. In addition, we confirmed whether it is possible to increase the internal density and luster of the hair by using an amino acids and material that can prevent hair lipid predisposition.

비단백태 질소화합물의 가금에서의 이용 가능성은 오래 전부터 많은 사람들의 관심의 대상이 되어 있었다. Urea나 Diammonium Citrate같은 NPN들이 부로일러에서 비필항 아미노산들의 공급을 목적으로 이용될 수 있다는 많은 증거들이 있다. 그 mechanism 은 이들에 의해 공급되는 ammonia가 $\alpha$-ketoglutaric acid에 결합되어 glutamic acid가 되어 체내에서 transamination 방법에 의해 비필수 아미노산들의 합성에 기여할 수 있다는 것이다. 산란에서도 마찬가지 방법으로 이용될 수 있으나 육계에선 보다는 이용 효율이 낮다고 한다. 비단백태 질소 화합물의 급여가 사료섭취량에 영향을 주고, 산란율을 저하시키며 란중을 적게하는 원인이 되나 albumin의 질을 높인다는 장점도 보고되고 있다. 이들 화합물이 가중에서 효율적으로 이용되기 위해서는 사료내 단백질 수준이 정상보다 낮아야 하며 철수 아미노산을 충분히 함유하고 있어야 한다 장차 단백질 자원의 부족 현상이 더욱 심각해질 것을 예상할 때 비단백태 질소 화합물의 가축에서의 이용성을 높이는 연구는 매우 중요하다.

Photosynthetic inhibition to temperature were conducted with ginseng(4 year old) and tobacco(var. Bulgaria). The plants were kept under various temperature conditions from 1$0^{\circ}C$ to 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 440$\mu$E/$m^2$/sec for 3 and 6hrs, and net $CO_2$ uptake were measured after 2hrs at $25^{\circ}C$. Photosynthetic optimal leaf temperature of ginseng was 21$^{\circ}C$ and tobacco was $25^{\circ}C$. Stomatal resistance and mesophyll resistance increased at high temperature. Especially, stomatal resistance seemed to have a significant role in determining the temperature responses of photosynthesis. In tobacco photosynthetic capacity was not changed by temperature treatment for 3hrs. However, 6hrs exposure reduced 8% of net photosynthesis at 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 12% at 1$0^{\circ}C$. Ginseng plants exposed for 6hrs at 4$0^{\circ}C$ lost photosynthetic capacity by 83%. Temperature responses of ginseng were very sensitive at above-optimum temperature resulting greater thermal inhibition other than photoinhibition.

Applying the bismuth shield used to reduce the radiation exposure, image quality may be reduced due to beam hardening caused by the shield during CT scan. Therefore, we tried to find out the energy range that can reduce image degradation by applying GSI mode of G company's dual energy CT and examine the possibility through experiment. As a result, after bismuth shielding, 118 ± 10.6 HU and 50.1 ± 14.6 HU at 50 keV after dual-energy CT scan were the most similar to the CT value before image deterioration(p> 0.05). It was measured 176.6 ± 7.1 and 138.3 ± 1.1 at 50 keV(p> 0.05). Experiments showed that the use of the shield during CT inspection inevitably degrades the image quality, but experiments show that the GSI function of the dual energy CT can maintain the image quality even when the shield is used. If the various shields are secured after the evaluation using the dual energy CT, it is expected to overcome the disadvantages of poor image quality caused by the use of the radiation shield for reducing the exposure, which is the biggest disadvantage of the CT scan.

Oxidative modification of cellular proteins and lipids may play a role in the development of diabetic complications. Diabetic cardiomyopathy has been suggested to be caused by the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ overload in the myocardium, which is partly due to the defect of calcium transport of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). In the present study, the possible mechanism of the functional defect of cardiac SR in diabetic rats was studied. Both of the maximal $Ca^{2+}$ uptake and the affinity for $Ca^{2+}$ were decreased in the diabetic rat SR in comparison with the control. To investigate whether the functional defect of the cardiac SR in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat is associated with the oxidative changes of cardiac SR proteins, the carbonyl group content and glycohemoglobin levels were determined. The increase in carbonyl group content of cardiac SR (2.30 nmols/mg protein, DM; 1.78, control) and in glycohemoglobin level $(13{\sim}17%,\;DM;\;3{\sim}5%,\;control)$ were observed in the diabetics. The extent of increase in calcium transport by phospholamban phosphorylation was greater in the diabetic cardiac SR membranes than that in the control. The phosphorylation levels of phospholamban, as determined by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography with $[{\gamma}^{32}P]ATP$, were increased in diabetic cardiac SR. These results suggest that the impaired cardiac SR function in diabetic rat could be a consequence of the less-phosphorylation of phospholamban in the basal state, which is partly due to the depleted norepinephrine stores in the heart. Furthermore, the oxidative damages in cardiac SR membranes might be one of the additional factors leading to the diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Various problems such as durability degradation may happen when extra water is added to concrete. Because of these reasons, the change of water content is managed by using rapid evaluation method of unit water content such as electric capacity method, heat drying method making use of micro wave, unit capacity mass method among various methods. Especially, in Japan, guidance for the change of water content ($\pm$ 10, 15, 20 kg/$m^3$ etc.) were regulated and used. However, it is the real situation that the guidance which were regulated in South Korea evaluate suitability only considering production and measurement error under the circumstances which are not considering the degree of durability degradation. Therefore, this study tries to investigate the influence of addition of extra water in the concrete on the durability degradation of concrete when it was added by artificial manipulation or by management error. From the test results, a guideline of the contents of extra water for the quality control is suggested with the consideration of the degree of durability degradation and the probable error resulted from the addition of extra water. The contents of extra water for tests are set as 0, 15, 25, 35 kg/$m^3$. To examine the durability degradation of concrete, freezing and thawing, carbonation, chloride penetration and compressive strength are tested.

The Purpose of this paper was to explore the effect of hearing impairment on HRQOL in Korean elders. We carry out a cross-sectional analysis using nationally representative data from the KNHANES, 2018. A total of 528 elders who had hearing impairment were included. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0, χ²-test, t-test, correlation, and regression analysis to confirm the quality of life, and the influencing factors. There were significant differences in HRQOL according to gender, age, education, marital status, income, occupation, number of household members, tinnitus, number of comorbidities, smoking status, alcohol drinking status, subjective health status, regular exercise, restriction of activity, depressive mood and perceived stress. The results indicated that age, BMI and number of comorbidities had a significant negative association with HRQOL. In addition, marital status, number of comorbidities, body mass index, subjective health status, regular exercise, restriction of activity and perceived stress were predictors of life quality in elders with Hearing Impairment and the variable in the health-related quality of life was explained by 37.3%. In order to improve the HRQOL of elders with hearing impairment, multidisciplinary efforts and development of educational programs are required.

This study conducted a static tensile test in order to prevent the lowering of load carrying capacity caused by critical sections made by over bolt holes in the base plate and the cover plate of steel member joints using high-tension bolts. The change of the load carrying capacity of joints was examined by comparison of the maximum load on joint fracture obtained from the tensile test with critical section rate and design strength. According to the results, the rate of decrease in strength was higher when the critical section rate was high, and in particular, decrease in strength was affected much more by critical sections in the base plate than by those in the cover plate. In high-tension bolt joints using over bolt holes for the base plate and the cover plate, load carrying performance was somewhat lower than that in joints using standard bolt holes, but the maximum tensile strength on facture was over 15% higher than design fracture strength. According to the results of this study, the use of over bolt holes in high-tension bolt joints had an insignificant effect on the lowering of load carrying capacity, so the allowance of over bolt holes in the joints of steel members is expected to enhance to the economy and efficiency of the works.
