The office environment is changing according to work types, Information Technology (IT) advancements, and the Coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 situation. In order for office space users to perform their tasks comfortably and efficiently, it is necessary to secure individual privacy as well as easy communication among members. In Korea, the demand for improving the acoustic performance of office spaces is also increasing, but the related performance criteria and guidelines have not been established. In this study, standardization of office space acoustic performance measurement and evaluation methods and European countries' acoustic performance criteria were compared and reviewed. It is proposed to comprehensively review international standardization trends and acoustic performance standards in each country and to establish and utilize criteria for evaluating the acoustic performance and satisfaction of office spaces in Korea through our survey. Considering the international standardization direction and compatibility with communication and Public Address (PA) systems, it is appropriate to establish criteria using the speech transmission index or Speech Transmission Index (STI) application index. This criterion will be highly utilizable and compatible. In addition, since the office furniture industry is interested in improving the acoustic performance of office space, it is necessary to establish a labelling system for speech level reduction of office furniture.

XQuery query proposed by W3C is one of the standard query languages for XML data and is widely accepted by many applications. Therefore the studies for efficient Processing of XQuery query have become a topic of critical importance recently and the optimization of XQuery query is one of new issues in these studies. However, previous researches just focus on the optimization techniques for a specific XML data management system and these optimization techniques can not be used under the any XML data management systems. Also, some previous researches use predefined XML data structure information such as XML schema or DTD for the optimization. In the real situation, however applications do not all refer to the structure information for XML data. Therefore, this paper analyzes only a XQuery query and optimize by using itself of the XQuery query. In this paper, we propose 3 kinds of optimization method that considers the characteristic of XQuery query. First method removes the redundant expressions described in XQuery query second method replaces the processing order of operation and clause in XQuery query and third method rewrites the XQuery query based on FOR clause. In case of third method, we consider FOR clause because generally FOR clause generates a loop in XQuery query and the loop often rises to execution frequency of redundant operation. Through a performance evaluation, we show that the processing time for rewritten queries is less than for original queries. also each method in our XQuery query optimizer can be used separately because the each method is independent.

This study explored the effect of corporate field teacher and corporate education satisfaction on apprenticeship education satisfaction and student job competency development focusing on NCS job standards and industry-academia-integrated apprenticeship school project group. As a result of the study, satisfaction with corporate field teachers in the electrical, electronic, and food service sectors was found to have a positive influence on improving students' job competency, while satisfaction with corporate education was important in the management, accounting, office, and information and communication sectors. In the analysis by type of project group, the satisfaction of corporate field teachers in the joint practice type and industry-led type had a strong influence on improving job competency, but in the base school type and single school type, corporate education satisfaction had a greater influence on capacity improvement. Therefore, it is necessary to redefine the competencies of corporate field teachers and to establish and implement an industry-academic integrated apprenticeship school operation plan with the relationship between the type of project group and NCS job standard classification.

In order to understand how to increase the use of virtual training content at K University's online lifelong education institute, this study examined the use experience, content recognition, field practice replacement, and requirements, focusing on the examples of operating institutions. To this end, 12 institutions that operated virtual training contents distributed by the K University Online Lifelong Education Center in 2020 were selected for in-depth interviews and qualitative analysis was conducted on the interviews of 11 institutions. As a result of the analysis, first, the experience of using the contents of the virtual training operating institution was aimed at changing the educational environment, supplementing theoretical learning, and improving the sense of practice. Second, according to a survey on the recognition of virtual training content, if the importance and utilization of the content are high, it can be replaced by on-site practice in non-face-to-face classes, such as experiences of facilities and equipment, attracting interest and attention. Third, in many cases, the perception of replacement for field practice is not unreasonable to use as a pre-training material for field practice, but it is difficult to replace field practice. Fourth, content quality improvements can be summarized as content quality improvement, content access and manipulation improvement, dedicated device development, training for instructors, and curriculum systematization. Fifth, institutional requirements include improving the quality of virtual training content itself, equipment support, curriculum systemization and characterization, systematic curriculum and detailed content sharing, detailed guidance on using virtual training content, introducing how to use content, and recruiting instructors. This study is meaningful in that it sought ways to improve the utilization of virtual training content based on the perception of virtual training content operating institutions.

Underground utility tunnels are spaces densely packed with various infrastructure facilities, such as power, telecommunications, and water supply and drainage systems, making internal environment management crucial. An investigation into accident cases and on-site demands in these tunnels revealed that while fires and floods are the most common types of incidents, the demand for real-time condensation prevention and response is frequent according to on-site managers. Condensation occurs due to the difference in humidity and temperature between the inside and outside of the tunnel. Frequent or prolonged condensation can lead to metal pipe corrosion, electrical failures, and reduced equipment lifespan. Therefore, this study developed a control algorithm and monitoring system to prevent condensation in underground utility tunnels. The proposed control algorithm estimates the likelihood of condensation in real-time based on the measured temperature and humidity and suggests appropriate responses for each stage to the managers. Finally, a practical condensation prevention monitoring system was built based on the developed algorithm, verifying the feasibility and applicability of this technology in the field.

In this study, we fabricated TiO₂-decorated SnO₂ nanorods (TSNRs) via glancing-angle deposition to achieve highly sensitive and selective CH₃COCH₃ detection. The gas-sensing properties of the TSNRs were systematically investigated, and the optimal sensing performance was achieved at 350℃ by 2-nm-thick TSNRs. When the sensors were exposed to 50 ppm of various gases (CH₃COCH₃, C₂H₅OH, C₅H₈, CH₄, and CO), the 2-nm-thick TSNRs demonstrated a 4.6-fold increase in response (R_a/R_g-1=134) to CH₃COCH₃ compared with bare SnO₂ nanorods (R_a/R_g-1=29.5) and exhibited excellent selectivity. In a high-humid environment (relative humidity = 80%), the 2-nm-thick TSNRs indicated a low theoretical detection limit of ≈5.31 ppb for CH₃COCH₃. These results suggest the significant potential of the proposed sensor for use in Internet-of-Things applications, particularly under extreme environmental conditions.
