Objective: This study was carried out to examine the factors affecting the fatigue and health promotion behavior of hairdressers and their respective levels. The data were collected from 195 hairdressers working in beauty shops in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do Province using self-administered questionnaires over the period from July 1 to July 31. Methods: A multiple regression model was used to study the factors influencing fatigue and health promotion behavior among hairdressers. Results: This study showed a statistically significant difference in perceived fatigue levels and health promotion behavior according to age, family type, education level, work period, work position, and fatigue level in the past one week. In addition, multiple regression showed that statistically significant factors affecting perceived fatigue were education level, work period, and fatigue level in the past one week. Statistically significant factors affecting health promotion behavior were age and fatigue level in the past one week. The level of perceived fatigue among hairdressers tended to be higher than other workers, and their level of practice of health promotion behavior was generally lower. Conclusions: The improvement of the work environment, such as through the distribution of a proper workload considering workers' characteristics and strengthening of exercise programs to reduce the fatigue level and promote health practices among hairdressers is needed.

In this study, we have developed a composite pressure vessel that is compact and can store refrigerant at high pressure to increase the refrigerant volume. The composite pressure vessel is made of aluminum-based duralumin, which has high rigidity and excellent elongation in the inner liner, considering the characteristics of products in the aerospace and defense industry, where the safety of the applied product is considered as a priority. High strength carbon fiber was applied to the outside. In order to evaluate the performance of the developed product, burst test and cycling test were carried out. In burst test, an excellent safety margin equivalent to 2.7 times the operating pressure was obtained. In cycling test, a stable failure mode in which 'pre-burst leak' occurs is proved and the soundness of the product is proved.

본 논문에서는 Kinect sensor의 음성 인식 기능을 활용한 매장 주문 어플리케이션을 설계하고 구현한다. 노년층과 유아들은 무인주문결제시스템의 터치스크린 조작 및 사용자 인터페이스에 익숙하지 않기 때문에 매장에서 상품을 주문하고 결제하는데 불편함을 경험하고 있다. 이러한 불편함을 제거하기 위한 하나의 방법으로 키넥트 센서의 음성 인식 기능을 이용하여 음성으로 쉽게 주문을 할 수 있는 매장 주문 어플리케이션을 개발한다. Kinect에는 4개의 오디오 마이크로폰이 있어서 $-50^{\circ}{\sim}50^{\circ}$ 범위의 음성을 인식할 수 있으며 20db 이하의 주위 소음은 무시한다. 이 범위내에서 $10^{\circ}$씩 증가시키면서 음원의 위치를 추적한다.

The total solar irradiation on horizontal surfaces is separated into the beam and diffuses components. Although horizontal global irradiance is a commonly measured parameter for many sites, horizontal diffuse irradiance is not so readily obtainable. For such sites that measure global irradiation alone, a simple but reasonably accurate method is required to estimate diffuse irradiance from its global counterpart. This study investigates the applicability of correlation coefficients models correlating hourly diffuse and beam fraction and hourly clearness index in Daejeon. The three diffuse to global correlation coefficients models (Orgill and Holland model, CIBSE Guide J model, and Erbs et al. model) are selected and the three modified beam to global correlation coefficients models are generated. MBE, RMSE, r-squared of Daejeon and Daejeon boundary site-fitted models are compared with the case of original coefficients. The comparison result shows that the beam and diffuse to global solar irradiation correlation coefficients models with boundary site-fitted coefficients are best suitable for Daejeon. Further researches will be conducted to find the boundary site-fitting method using measured data of other cities and correlation coefficients models using solar altitude, cloud cover, and sunshine duration.

Open source software has a feature that offers its service by the subscription method without getting a license fee. Therefore, this business style needs a different form of estimate criteria from other proprietary software, which is paid by license fees and maintenance service fees. However, consumers, including the public sector, don't understand this feature. This problem has kept the open source software business from attaining prosperity. I would like to provide a model for the estimate criteria that can apply to the open source software business by investigating and developing various advanced research and market examples.

The study aims to examine the psychological effects of insect-based experience activities. A sample of 167 elementary students was hired for the study. Students in the experimental group participated in insect-based experience activities using swallowtail butterfly. Collected data are analyzed with analysis of variance and paired-sample T-test in SPSS 25.0. The results of this study are as follows 1) Insect based experience activities show positive effects in psychological and physiological aspects, 2) and students and teacher showed high satisfaction in insect-based program. In conclusion, this study contributes to providing fundamental information for the development of agro-healing programs using insect and design guidelines for identifying the characteristics of each healing program. Further research should be extended to different types of student and the development of diverse insect-based activities.

This paper investigates to design a controller for maritime autonomous surface ship (MASS) by means of adaptive super-twisting algorithm (ASTA). A input-out feedback linearization method is considered for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system. Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) is suitable for MASS subject to ocean environments due to its robustness against parameter uncertainties and disturbances. However, conventional SMC has inherent disadvantages so-called, chattering phenomenon, which resulted from the high frequency of switching terms. Chattering may cause harmful failure of actuators such as propeller and rudder of ships. The main contribution of this work is to address an appropriate controller for MASS, simultaneously controls surge and yaw motion in severe step inputs. Proposed control mechanism well provides convergence bewildered by external disturbances in the middle of steady-state responses as well as chattering attenuation. Also, the adaptive algorithm is contributed to reducing non-overestimated value of control gains. Control inputs of surge and yaw motion are displayed by smoother curves without excessive control activities of actuators. Finally, no overshoot can be seen in transient responses.

A 22-month-old female mongrel dog weighing 4.8 kg was referred with chief complaint of bite wounds and lameness. The patient showed non-weight bearing lameness on left hindlimb and lateral instability of intertarsal joint. On radiograph, proximal intertarsal luxation between calcaneus and fourth tarsal bone was diagnosed. To imitate the long collateral and calcaneoquartal ligament, bone tunnels were drilled in the distal calcaneus and proximal fifth metatarsal bone. The figure-eight suture was placed with 0.5 mm cerclage wire through the predrilled holes. At 2 weeks after surgery, the lameness of hindlimb was still present. However, the patient had weight bearing lameness for 4 weeks after operation and was able to walk and run without lameness at 5 weeks after surgery. This case report explains the successful correction of intertarsal luxation with a single figure of eight wire suture in case of luxation to the intertarsal joint.

Next generation sequencing is commonly used to characterize the microbiome structure. MiSeq is commonly used to analyze the microbiome due to its relatively long read length. However, recently, Illumina introduced the 250x2 chip for HiSeq 2500. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of MiSeq and HiSeq in the context of oral microbiome samples. The MiSeq Reagent Kit V3 and the HiSeq Rapid SBS Kit V2 were used for MiSeq and HiSeq 2500 analyses, respectively. Total read count, read quality score, relative bacterial abundance, community diversity, and relative abundance correlation were analyzed. HiSeq produced significantly more read sequences and assigned taxa compared to MiSeq. Conversely, community diversity was similar in the context of MiSeq and HiSeq. However, depending on the relative abundance, the correlation between the two platforms differed. The correlation between HiSeq and MiSeq sequencing data for highly abundant taxa (> 2%), low abundant taxa (2-0.2%), and rare taxa (0.2% >) was 0.994, 0.860, and 0.416, respectively. Therefore, HiSeq 2500 may also be compatible for microbiome studies. Importantly, the HiSeq platform may allow a high-resolution massive parallel sequencing for the detection of rare taxa.
