Checklist method is rapid and comprehensive to evaluate in practice. Check items are commonly rated by subjective utility function; i.e., evaluator's significant judgment. Since human judgment includes fuzziness (vagueness) inherently in spite of its significance, fuzzy set theory is useful in this case. The paper illustrates a evaluation method using fuzzy checklist where check items are rated as fuzzy numbers. Pairwise comparison data is used to determine the weights of check items, since it has comparative advantage for human's fuzzy judgment. Sample of BASIC program is provided for microcomputer. When uncertainty is due to subjectivity or imprecision of data, this method can be applied to practical problems widely.

This study attempts to review the theories and systems related to the policy for scientific and engineering human resources, to delve into the relevant documents and case studies, to carry out a survey, and to compare the Korean situation with those of advanced countries. This will verify the problems in current policies and help draw up the plans for future policies.

Hybrid optical-electronic procedures are introduced for the automated estimation of cell parameters (e.g., size, size variation, and shape). Two different optical Fourier analysis procedures are applied to high contrast cell boundary patterns obtained from specular micrographs of the endothelial layer. In one case, a large number of cell patterns are illuminated to extract average cell size information. Once the average cell size information has been obtained, individual cells are illuminated to extract shape information.

Vibration problem occurring at the metal deck floor system not only reduces the serviceability of a building but also reduces the usability of a floor system. Most problem occurring at the metal deck floor results from the human movement such as walking and running. However the vibration induced by running does not occur continuously except the special case. therefore the floor vibration due to walking was only considered on this paper,. Vibration occurring due to human walking was measured and the corresponding load function was derived through the Fast Fourier Transform(FFT)

Puerperal sepsis is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Postpartum pelvic infections can cause various complications, including wound infections and necrotizing fasciitis. Several microorganisms are known to cause such infections; however, no study has reported on Staphylococcus caprae, a coagulase-negative staphylococcus that is isolated frequently from animals and infrequently from human specimens, as a causative agent. Here, we report a rare case of septic shock complicated by necrotizing fasciitis after a cesarean section. This is the first report of a human isolate of S. caprae in association with puerperal sepsis and necrotizing fasciitis.

It is well known that human errors is involved in most of maritime accidents. For the purpose of reducing the influence of human elements on maritime activities, it is necessary to identify the human unsafe acts in those activities. The commonly used methods in identification of human unsafe acts are maritime accident statistics or case analysis. With the statistics data, people could roughly identify what kinds of unsafe acts or human errors have played active role in the accident, however, they often neglected some active unsafe acts while overestimated some mini-unsafe acts because of the inherent shortcoming of the methods. There should be some more accurate approaches for human error identification in maritime accidents. In this paper, the application of technique called grey relational analysis (GRA) into the identification of human unsafe acts is presented. GRA is used to examine the extent of connections between two digits by applying the, methodology of departing and scattering measurement to actual distance measurement. Based on the statistics data of maritime accidents occurred in Chinese waters in last 10years, the relationship between the happening times of maritime accidents and that of unsafe acts are established with GRA. In accordance with the value of grey relational grade, the identified main human unsafe acts involved in maritime accidents are ranked in following orders: improper lookout, improper use of radar and equivalent equipment, error of judgment, act not in time, improper communication, improper shiphandling, use of unsafe speed, violating the rule and ignorance of good seamanship. The result shows that GRA is an effective and practical technique in improving the accuracy of human unsafe acts identification.

The application of advanced Main Control Room(MCR) is accompanied with lots of changes and different forms and features through the virtue of new digital technologies. The characteristics of these digital technologies and devices give many opportunities to the interface management, and can be integrated into a compact single workstation in advanced MCR so that workers can operate the plant with minimum physical burden under any operation conditions. However, these devices may introduce new types of human errors and thus a means to evaluate and prevent such errors is needed, especially those related to characteristics of digital devices. This paper reviewed the new type of human error hazards of tasks based on digital devices and surveyed researches on physiological assessment related to human error. An experiment was performed to verify human error hazards by physiological responses such as EEG which was measured to evaluate the cognitive workload of operators. And also, the performances of four tasks which are representative in human error hazard tasks based on digital devices were compared. Response time, ${\beta}$ power spectrum rate of each task by EEG, and mental workload by NASA-TLX were evaluated. In the results of the experiment, the rate of the ${\beta}$ power was increased in the task 1 and task 4 which are searching and navigating task and memory task of hierarchical information, respectively. In case of the mental workload, in most of evaluation items, task 1 and 4 were highly rated comparatively. In this paper, human error hazards might be identified by highly cognitive workload. Conclusively, it was concluded that the predictive method which is utilized in this paper and an experimental verification can be used to ensure the safety when applying the digital devices in Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs).

Two cases of human Echinostcma hortense infection were found in Seoul Paik Hospital. Their stools revealed echinostomatid eggs. After treatment with prasiquantel (single does of 10∼12mg/kg) and purgation with magnesium salt, total 21 flukes were collected in one case. The flukes were 5.9∼7.5mm long, had 27∼28 collar spines around their head, laterally deviated ovary and two tandem testes. They were identified as 5. hortense Asada, 1926. The cases are 38-year and 20-year old men residing in Seoul, whose hometown is Chungsonggun and Seungju-gun, Kyongsangbuk-do respectively. They had eaten raw mesh of various kinds of fresh water fishes (both cases) and/or salamander (latter case) , which are considered possible sources of this fluke infection. They experienced abdominal discomfort and/or diarrhea. Hematology revealed 22% eosinophilia in the latter case, but it became 5% after the treatment. Echinostomatid eggs were not found after the treatment in both cases. These are the 4th and 5th human cases of 5. hortense infection in Korea.

A human case infected with Terranova type A larva was found in Korea. The patient was a 23-year old soldier of the Korean Army and the chief complaint was acute abdominal pain. The pain was chiefly at right lower quadrant. Appendectomy was performed under the clinical impression of acute appendicitis. However, during the surgery, a nematode larva was found moving on the serosal surface of terminal ileum. The worm was 25.76mm long and O. 66mm -wide, and had the intestinal cecum reaching to anterior one-third level of ventriculus and a mucron at posterior end. Therefore, it was diagnosed as Terranova type A larva. This is the first human case of Terranova type A larva infection in Korea.
