  • On account of the lack of education of Brazilian worker, this paper analyzed the characteristics of those professionals working in the production sector of timber houses. A sectoral survey was carried out with respective entrepreneurs to investigate the available professionals (career and contract types), evaluate the demands of skilled workers, and indicate solutions to improve the quality of labor qualification. Similarly, over 65% of sampled producers presented both direct-hired and outsourced workforce. For such contract ways, Civil Engineers and Architects were the main careers. Carpenters, Civil Engineers and Architects experienced on timber were the main sectoral demands. Timber Engineers have good potentials of service for this sector. The creation of courses on timber products can emerge as a key alternative to train people.

  • This paper presents a study investigating the relationship between stress level and reworks for construction professionals. As employees' work-life balance (WLB) becomes more important nowadays, controlling the level of stress in the workplace becomes more important as occupational stress has negative impacts on WLB. Reworks can be one severe occupational stressor as people suffer from stress when they need to redo their works. This study hypothesizes that there is a positive correlation between reworks and level of stress, meaning that people tend to show high level of stress when they need to redo their works. The hypothesis will be tested by checking the stress level when engineers redo their works because of changes or errors. An electroencephalography (EEG) sensor will be used to measure the stress level of engineers when they redo their works. For more accurate measure of stress, the stress level will also be measured by the galvanic skin response (GSR). This experiment is expected to prove that rework process is a severe stressor for construction professionals, which will contribute to lower productivity and poorer WLB. The finding will emphasize the importance of managing reworks in the construction industry, which will eventually help construction managers to control the level of employees' stress successfully.

  • HRD 프로페셔널은 계획, 조직 개발, 조직 디자인 등과 같은 전략적인 경영 협력 활동을 통해 생산성의 향상을 도모한다. 특정한 개입 방안만을 제시하는 것은 조직의 기본적인 시스템을 변화시키거나 향상시킬 수 없으므로 시스템적 관점을 지향하는 것은 전략 개발에 중요하다. 조직을 시스템적으로 운영하기 위해 HRD 프로페셔널은 문제해결에 있어서의 조직 내 저항을 잘 다룰 뿐만 아니라 변화관련당사자와의 협업을 통해 제시된 문제해결의 효과를 양적으로 측정할 수 있는 방법을 밝힐 수 있어야한다. 또한 HRD 프로페셔널은 경영 목표들간의 일치 혹은 통일성, 프로세스 디자인, 프로세스 운영에서 핵심적인 역할을 할 필요가 있다. 성과에 대한 정책과 실행을 지역의 문화적 특성을 고려하여 기획하는 것 역시 중요한 과제 중의 하나이다.

  • This paper presents a user authentication scheme for healthcare application using wireless medical sensor networks, where wireless medical sensors are used for patients monitoring. These medical sensors' sense the patient body data and transmit it to the professionals (e.g., doctors, nurses, and surgeons). Since, the data of an individual are highly vulnerable; it must ensures that patients medical vital signs are secure, and are not exposed to an unauthorized person. In this regards, we have proposed a user1 authentication scheme for healthcare application using medical sensor networks. The proposed scheme includes: a novel two-factor professionals authentication (user authentication), where the healthcare professionals are authenticated before access the patient's body data; a secure session key is establish between the patient sensor node and the professional at the end of user authentication. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the proposed scheme is safeguard to various practical attacks and achieves efficiency at low computation cost.

  • Strategic management of changes is very significant for all types of construction projects. Project management teams must have the ability to respond to changes effectively in order to minimize their adverse impact on the project. The study focuses on the causes, their frequent effects and effective controls for changes in educational building projects. To achieve the study objectives, a questionnaire survey was carried out to collect relevant information. Through the literature review, 53 causes, 16 effects and 30 potential controls for change orders were identified. These provided the basis for the formulation of the questionnaire. Responses from 92 professionals who were involved in the educational projects in Singapore were analyzed. They included 28 developers, 33 consultants and 31 contractors. From the survey findings, the most important causes of changes were identified. The study revealed the most frequent effects and most effective controls for each cause of change order. Arising therefrom, a comprehensive tabulation of the 53 causes and their frequent effects and effective controls was also developed. A timeline for implementing the controls was developed through in-depth interviews with the professionals. The study would assist building professionals in taking proactive measures for reducing change orders for educational buildings; furthermore, the timeline would also be helpful for them to implement controlling strategies at the appropriate time. Recommendations were suggested based on the research findings.

  • 대한민국 선박관리산업은 지속적으로 발전하고 있으며 이에 정부에서는 선박관리산업 환경 변화에 대응하기 위해 선박관리산업 발전을 위한 정책을 추진함으로써 대한민국 선박관리산업 경쟁력을 높이기 위해 다양한 정책을 추진하고 있다. 또한 선박 관리산업의 경쟁력을 좌우하는 중요한 요소로서 우수한 선박관리 전문인력의 필요성을 제시하였고 선박관리 전문인력 양성 계획 및 관련 정책을 추진하였다. 하지만 이러한 정부 및 유관기관의 노력에도 불구하고 현재 선박관리기업들은 심각한 인력난을 겪고 있다. 선박관리산업의 경쟁력을 높이기 위해 우수한 선박관리 전문인력을 확보하는 것이 필수적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선박관리 전문인력의 이직 원인을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구결과 선박관리 전문인력 이직 원인의 경우 업무환경, 경제적 보상 및 복리후생, 자기개발, 승진 및 커리어 4가지 요인으로 분류되었다. 이후 도출된 요인을 바탕으로 다중회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 경제적 보상 및 복리후생 요인의 비표준화계수 0.426으로 선박관리 전문인력의 이직률 감소에 영향을 미치는 것으로 도출되었다. 본 연구는 향후 선박관리산업의 안정적인 인적자원 관리 정책을 구축함에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

  • Background: Traditional safety concept, which is called Safety-I, and its relevant methods and models have much contributed toward enhancing the safety of industrial systems. However, they have proved insufficient to be applied to complex socio-technical systems. As an alternative, Safety-II and resilience engineering have emerged and gained much attention for the last two decades. However, it seems that safety professionals have still difficulty understanding their fundamental concepts and methods. Accordingly, it is necessary to offer an introductory guide to them that helps safety professionals grasp them correctly in consideration of their current practices. Methods: This article firstly explains the limitations of Safety-I and how Safety-II can resolve them from the four points of view. Next, the core concepts of resilience engineering and Functional Resonance Analysis Method are described. Results: Workers' performance adjustment and performance variability due to it should be the basis for understanding human-related accidents in socio-technical systems. It should be acknowledged that successful and failed work performance have the same causes. However, they are not well considered in the traditional safety concept; in contrast, Safety-II and resilience engineering have conceptual bases and practical approaches to reflect them systematically. Conclusion: It is necessary to move from a find-and-fix and reactive approach to a proactive approach to safety management. Safety-II and resilience engineering give a set of useful concepts and methods for proactive safety management. However, if necessary, Safety-I methods need to be properly used for situations where they can still be useful as well.

  • The trend of using Grasshopper with Rhino3D actively in architectural design process is recently spreading around the world. Well-known architects and designers such as Zaha Hadid, Patrik Schmacher is famous for using Grasshopper as their main design tool. As a tool for so-called 'Parametric Design', Grasshopper is receiving much attention all over the world. Grasshopper as a visual programming language has an advantage that designers and non-professionals of computer can easily learn it and use it to their works. However, those designers tend to make inefficient approaches with Grasshopper compared to computer programming professionals. Meanwhile, the difference between other programming languages and Grasshopper leads to the need of different approaches from other programming languages. This study aims to propose desired approaches of Grasshopper programming or scripting to be able to break through the inefficient approaches that designer is likely to make, by examining the characteristics of Grasshopper and exploring the appropriate programming approaches for Grasshopper.
