  • Background: Self-checked monitoring home exercises are recommended for preventing falls among people with Parkinson's disease. However, as these home exercises are performed autonomously by patients without professional management, their accuracy and efficiency can be compromised. Objective: To investigate the effects of providing regular training sessions to patients and caregivers and of patient self-monitoring of exercise performance following the implementation of a self-checked monitoring exercise program for people with Parkinson's disease. Design: Randomized Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. Methods: We provided regular self-checked monitoring home exercise and general home exercise programs to 30 participants for 12 weeks. Once a month at the first, fifth, and ninth-week sessions, a rehabilitation team attended the Parkinson's group education. In addition to the subject in the experimental group perform the home exercises program to provide feedback regarding the home exercises program and to carry out a self-monitoring checklist performance for 12 weeks. Results: The 10 m walk test, functional reach test, and sit to stand test and the modified Barthel index significantly improved in the self-checked monitoring home exercise group. Conclusion: These results suggest that self-checked home exercise programs, which facilitate safety and consistent performance of exercises at home, are beneficial for people with Parkinson's disease.

  • 본 연구는 국가지정 동산문화재에 대하여 국가가 직접 수행하는 정기조사를 중심으로 국가지정 지류문화재의 보존상태 및 보존환경을 파악하고 보존관리 방안을 모색하고자 수행하였다. 조사대상은 2014~2015년도에 문화재보존과학센터와 미술문화재연구실이 공동조사한 내용으로 제한하였다. 지류문화재는 재질상 온 습도, 빛 등 외부환경의 영향을 받기 쉽고 물리적 힘에 의해서도 쉽게 손상될 수 있으므로 안정적인 보존환경이 매우 중요하다. 그러므로 문화재보호법에 의해 시행되는 동산문화재 정기조사를 통하여 오염, 찢어짐, 꺾임, 마찰, 결손 등 보존처리가 시급한 문화재이다. 따라서 처리시기를 놓침으로써 돌이킬 수 없는 상황에 이르지 않도록 철저히 관리해야 하며 처리 후 관리상황에 대해서도 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하다. 이와 같이 정기조사를 통해 문제점이 노출된 국가지정 문화재들을 중심으로 안료, 재질, 구조분석 등 정밀조사 추진, 문화유산 보존관리 데이터 축적을 정기조사와 병행하여 별도 추진할 필요가 있음이 판단되었다. 이러한 국가지정 문화재의 상세한 데이터들은 향후 국가지정 지류문화재의 보다 합리적인 보존관리 체계 구축의 기반이 될 것이며, 정기조사 방법의 지속적인 개선 역시 가능하게 할 것이다.

  • While the budget has been allocated more for repairs and reinforcements, casualties are gradually increased due to slope disaster. Slope disaster causes road damaged as well as casualties. It also causes significant social and economic loss. The measurement device, which is installed inside ground of slope like inclinometer, has the high loss rate when slope is being slided. The electric type and the vibrating wire type have low durability because of corrosion. To cover the demerit of the present slope monitoring, the measurement method using the Multi-Antenna GPS has been developed. The Multi-Antenna GPS has been installed in the local slope as the regular monitoring system for slope. Although the initial cost of the Multi-Antenna GPS for installation is high, the additional cost is low. So it is the suitable method for large slope. The regular monitoring system using the Multi-Antenna GPS is the suitable measurement method for watching slope collapse, which is occurred widely, because it is economical, has high durability, and collects data with high resolution.

  • With the Korean VLBI Network (KVN), both single dish and VLBI monitoring observations of H2O and SiO masers were performed toward the semi-regular variable star R Crateris. In the case of 11 VLBI monitoring observations from Jan. 5, 2014 to Jan. 7, 2016, successful superposed maps of H2O and SiO masers were obtained at 7 epochs by adopting the Source Frequency Phase Referencing (SFPR) method. These results enable us to investigate the development of outflow and asymmetric motions from SiO maser to H2O maser regions according to stellar pulsation which are closely related with a mass-loss process. Single dish monitoring observations of H2O and SiO masers were also carried out from 2009 June to 2016 Feb. Intensity variations between H2O and SiO masers were investigated according to stellar optical phases together with peak velocity variations with respect to the stellar velocity. We will compare the VLBI results among different maser transitions with those of single dish.

  • Structural health monitoring is becoming more and more important in the domain of civil engineering as a proper mean to increase and maintain the safety, especially in the land of earthquakes like Japan. In many civil structures, the deformations are the most relevant parameter to be monitored. In this context, a monitoring technology based on the use of long-gage fiber optic deformation sensor, SOFO is being applied to a 33-floors tall building in Tokyo. Sensors were installed on the $2^{nd}$ floor's steel columns of the building on May 2005 in the early stage of the construction. The installed SOFO sensors were dynamic compatible ones which enable both static and dynamic measurements. The monitoring is to be performed during the whole lifespan of the building. During the construction, static deformations of the columns had been measured on a regular basis using a reading unit for static measurement and dynamic deformation measurements were occasionally conducted using a reading unit for dynamic measurement. The building was completed on August 2006. After the completion, static and dynamic deformation measurements have been continuing. This paper describes a health monitoring technology, SOFO system which is applicable to high-rise buildings and monitoring results of a 33-floors tall building in Tokyo from May 2005 to October 2010.

  • This paper presents the structural health monitoring (SHM) of Shanghai Tower. In order to provide useful information for safety evaluation and regular maintenance under construction and in-service condition, a comprehensive structural health monitoring (SHM) system is installed in Shanghai Tower, which is composed of a main monitoring station and eleven substations. Structural responses at different construction stages are measured using this SHM system and presented in this study. Meanwhile, a detailed finite element model (FEM) is created and comparison of results between SHM and FEM is carried out. Results indicate that the time-dependent property of concrete creep is of great importance to structural response and the measured data can be used in FEM updating to obtain more accurate FEM models at different construction stages. Therefore, installation of structural health monitoring system in super-tall buildings could be considered as an effective way to assure structural safety during the construction process.
