In the conventional experiment to assess the towing operations, the towing stability of the towed vessel has been evaluated under the condition without lateral motion of the tug-boat. However, the tug-boats may have a lateral force to change the direction of the towed vessel. In this study, experiments have been conducted considering unsteady conditions in the towing system. First, a towing test system in a Circular Water Channel (CWC) using the conventional experimental method is built. Second, the towing characteristics of the towed vessel are investigated using the conventional method, and they are compared with other research results and stability discriminant criteria. Third, the lateral motion of the tug-boat was modeled as a sinusoidal motion using a forced oscillation device changing frequency and amplitude. Finally, the discussion is given in terms of both towing- and course-stability of the towed vessel according to the lateral motion of the tug-boat.

In this paper, the recently developed meta-heuristic algorithm called tug of war optimization is applied to optimal design of castellated beams. Two common types of laterally supported castellated beams are considered as design problems: beams with hexagonal openings and beams with circular openings. Here, castellated beams have been studied for two cases: beams without filled holes and beams with end-filled holes. Also, tug of war optimization algorithm is utilized for obtaining the solution of these design problems. For this purpose, the minimum cost is taken as the objective function, and some benchmark problems are solved from literature.

본 연구는 swiss ball LSE에 따른 하지 경직도, 균형 및 보행에 관한 효과를 알아보고자 BBS, FRT, 수정된 Ashworth 척도(MAS), TUG 측정 분석 하였다. 대상자는 H병원에서 입원 또는 통원치료를 받고 있는 뇌졸중 환자 중 선정기준에 적합한 34명을 고전적 신경물리치료군 17명, swiss ball LSE 실시군에 17명씩 할당하여 하지의 균형능력은 BBS와 FRT, 경직도는 MAS, 보행능력은 TUG를 사용하여 비교 분석하였다. Swiss ball LSE군에서 BBS와 FRT는 유의하게 증가하였으며, MAS와 TUG는 유의하게 감소하였다. 또한 군간의 비교에서는 FRT와 MAS에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 결과적으로 swiss ball LSE는 뇌졸중 환자의 하지 근경직, 균형능력 및 보행능력을 회복시킬 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine correlations between the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Functional Reach Test (FRT), Timed Up & Go (TUG), Motor-Free Visual Perception Reach Test Vertical format (MVPT-V), Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Methods: The subjects used in this study were 35 stroke patients from Cheongju ST. Mary's hospital. Balance was measured by BBS, FRT. Functional mobility was measured by TUG. Visual perception was measured by MVPT-V. FIM was used to evaluate the activities of daily living. Data was analyzed using pearson product correlation. The TUG and MVPT-V index were analyzed by linear regression. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between FRT and BBS (r=0.89, p<0.01), FIM (r=0.74, p<0.05), MVPT-V (r=0.40, p<0.05), and TUG (r=-0.36, p<0.05). There was significant statistical differences between TUG and MVPT-V (r=-0.64, p<.01). However, statistically significant differences were observed between BBS and FIM (r=0.79, p<0.01). The visual close item of the MVPT-V showed the strongest variance in predicting TUG. Conclusion: The use of both quantitative and qualitive scales was shown to be a good measuring instrument for the classification of general clinical performances of stroke patients. In particular, the results suggest that the visual perception test may be able to predict functional locomotion in stroke patients.

본 논문은 노인의 건강을 위협하는 가장 심각한 문제 중의 하나인 낙상을 예방하기 위하여 2014년 5월부터 6월 까지 1주에 2번씩 6주 동안 낙상을 예방하기 위한 운동을 시행하였고, 시행 전 후 TUG, FRT, BBS, ADL, 낙상공포감, 낙상효능감, 우울의 정도를 비교하여 운동의 효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과 본 연구의 가설 검정에서 제1가설 "낙상예방운동에 참여한 노인은 참여하기 전보다 FRT가 향상될 것이다"의 T-test 검정 결과는 사전 사후(F=3.14, p<.05)로 TUG 점수는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였고, 제3가설 "낙상예방운동에 참여한 노인은 참여하기전보다 BBS(균형정도)가 향상될 것이다"의 T-test 검정 결과는 사전 사후(F=-5.74, p<.001)로 BBS의 점수도 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 그 외 FRT, ADL, 낙상공포감, 낙상효능감, 우울의 점수는 통계적으로 유의하진 않으나 개선된 결과를 보여 본 연구에서 적용했던 운동이 농촌 노인의 낙상예방에 효과가 있었음을 확인하였다.

Background: South Korea is one of fastest aging countries in the world. Poor balance and falls of the elderly are main health issues. Objects: The goal of this study was to understand the association between the socioeconomical factors and the standing balance of elderly living in the rural and urban area. Methods: One hundred sixty-six elderly participants who were older than 65 and were able to walk without an assistive device were recruited in the city of Gwangju and in the rural area of Jeonnam, South Korea. All participants performed the static and dynamic standing balance tests. Static standing balance was measured with chronometer in seconds while standing on one leg. Dynamic balance was tested with the timed up and go test (TUG), measured in seconds while getting up from a chair and walking 3 meters and back to sit. The static and dynamic standing balance was analyzed using analysis of variance and the Fisher's Least Significant Difference post hoc test. Results: Male participants from both areas had no difference in one leg standing and TUG. The female elderly living in rural area took shorter in TUG than females living in urban area. Age decreased the one leg standing time in both areas while did not affect the TUG significantly. As the monthly income increased, both of one leg standing and TUG increased in urban area, while the medium monthly income showed best performance (it was not statistically significant) in both of one leg standing and TUG in rural area. Conclusion: Socioeconomical factors affects differently the standing balance of the elderly living in rural and urban South Korea. Female living alone in urban area with low monthly income demonstrated worst standing balance in this study.

The purposes of this study were to determine correlations between the Berg Balance Test (BBS), Timed -UP & Go Test, Fugl Meyer-L/E, Balance, Sensory (FM-L/E, B, S), Motor Assessment Scale-Gait (MAS-G), Comfortable maximal Gait Speed (C MGS), and the Modified Barthel Index (MBI). The subjects were 40 stroke patients of the Korea National Rehabilitation Center in Seoul. Main outcome measures were Balance control (BBS, FM-B), Gait (TUG, C MGS, MAS-G), ADL (MBI) and Motor Function of Lower Extremities (FM-L/E, S). The data were analyzed using Pearson product correlation. FM scales between other clinical and instrumental indexes and multiple stepwise regression analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors for Balance, Gait and ADL Motor Function of Lower Extremity inclinations. The results of this study were as follows: The BBS, FM-L/E, balance, sensory and MBI showed positive correlation relations, but TUG and C MGS showed negative correlations. The sensory factor of the FM-scale showed the strongest variance in predicting BBS. However the FM-balance showed the strongest variance in predicting TUG, MAS-G and C MGS. The use of both quantitative and qualitative scales was shown to be a good measuring instrument for the classification of the general clinical performance of the patients.

부선의 50퍼센트 이상은 선박검사를 '무인부선'으로 받고 있다. 무인부선의 두드러진 이점은 유인부선에 비해 약 25퍼센트의 건현에 해당되는 화물을 더 적재할 수 있다는 것이다. 한편, 무인부선에도 항해 중에 선석 접안과 이안, 투묘와 양묘, 항해등화의 점등과 소등 등과 같은 업무를 담당할 선원이 필요하다. 피상적인 인식은 예인선이 부선 운항에 대한 책임을 진다는 것이지만, 부선 운항자가 예선을 용선하는 경우처럼 다른 사례들도 다수 있다. 특정 계약관계에서는 예선이 부선의 운송인에 불과할지라도 예선 선장은 그 운송계약(항해)을 완성하여야 하는 의무를 이행하여야 한다. 상당수의 예선 선장은 부선 제원과 선두 정보를 제공받지 못하고 있으며, 이러한 형태는 선장의 권한을 존중하지 않는 것이며 관련 법령을 의도하지 않게 위반하게 된다. 이 연구는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 정책적 접근을 통해 무인부선을 유인부선화하고, 승무정원증서를 발급받도록 하며, 부선과 선두의 정보를 예선 선장에게 제공하는 등 세 가지 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다. 이러한 제안을 통하여 선두의 권리를 개선하고, 법령(최대승선인원) 위반 부담을 해소하며, 예선 선장의 권한을 보장할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Background: This study was to investigate effects of falls prevention exercise on functional fitness in elderly. Methods: A total of 45 healthy over 65years old adults (men=15, women=30) who were participated in this study. Exercise were involved in the period of 12 week complex physical training for around 50 minutes a day, three times per week. We measured subjects' physical activity levels by short physical performance battery(SPPB) test, timed up & go(TUG) test, one leg standing test(OLST) with closed eyes and maximal step length (MSL) test. Results: After falls prevention exercise, there were statically significant differences in SPPB, TUG, OLST and MSL test (P<.01) between pre and post test. There were statically significant differences in SPPB, TUG, OLST, MSL between pre and post test in men and women. There were statically significant differences between men and women in SPPB, TUG, OLST and MSL test. Conclusion: Falls prevention exercise had significant effects on physical fitness level in elderly, with a result increase muscle strength, balance ability and it might prevent falls.
