Due to the dense and complicated working environment, the construction industry is susceptible to many accidents. Worker's fall is a severe problem at the construction site, including falling into holes or openings because of the inadequate coverings as per the safety rules. During the construction or demolition of a building, openings and holes are formed in the floors and roofs. Many workers neglect to cover openings for ease of work while being aware of the risks of holes, openings, and gaps at heights. However, there are safety rules for worker safety; the holes and openings must be covered to prevent falls. The safety inspector typically examines it by visiting the construction site, which is time-consuming and requires safety manager efforts. Therefore, this study presented a worker-driven approach (the worker is involved in the reporting process) to facilitate safety managers by developing integrated computer vision and inertia sensors-based mobile applications to identify openings. The TensorFlow framework is used to design Convolutional Neural Network (CNN); the designed CNN is trained on a custom dataset for binary class openings and covered and deployed on an android smartphone. When an application captures an image, the device also extracts the accelerometer values to determine the inclination in parallel with the classification task of the device to predict the final output as floor (openings/ covered), wall (openings/covered), and roof (openings / covered). The proposed worker-driven approach will be extended with other case scenarios at the construction site.

This study aims to measure the efficiency and productivity change of 30 domestic construction companies from 2010 to 2018 using data envelopment analysis(DEA) and Malmquist productivity index (MI). In particular, we used the number of employees, capital stock, and non-current assets as input variables, and sales and net income as ouput variables for the analysis. The dataset used for the analysis of efficiency and productivity changes is the employee profile and financial statements for the companies from 2010 to 2018. We found that the MI of the 30 companies is greater than one since 2013. This is because many years of TEC (Technical Efficiency Change) is greater than 1, which means that the productivity index increases as the TEC increases. In addition, the MI value was less than 1, which lowered the productivity of construction firms in 2018. The results of the study may help decision makers to find effective future management plans by analyzing the internal and external factors.

The Four Major Rivers Restoration Project started in 2009 and completed in early 2013 is a large-scale inter-ministry SOC project investing ₩22.2 $10^{12}$ and one of the Project's objectives was to enhance the water-quality grade through recovering the river eco-system and environment. The average concentration and probability distribution of water-quality constituents at given and selected sampling sites are very significant elements for analyzing and controlling the water-quality of rivers or reservoirs effectively. Average concentration can be estimated by point estimator, distribution function of water-quality constituents or Bootstrap method, in which the distribution function estimated with more data in case of insufficient dataset, is applied. Ipo and Gangcheon water-quality monitoring stations in South Han River were selected to compare and analyze the variation of concentration before and after Ipo and Gangcheon Weirs construction, using the whole 4-year's data, from 2005 to 2008 and from 2014 to 2017. Water-quality constituents such as BOD and COD relating to oxygen demanding wastes and TP and Chlorophyll-a relating to the process of nutrient enrichment called eutrophication were also selected. The guidelines for water-quality control and management after weir construction including evaluation of water-quality constituents' variations can be presented by this paper.

자연환경에 대한 국민들의 관심 증가로 스마트폰과 같은 휴대용 기기를 이용한 수목 동정의 자동화에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 최근 딥러닝 기술의 발전에 힘입어, 외국에서는 수목 인식 분야에의 적용이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 수목의 분류를 위해 꽃, 잎 등 다양한 형질들을 대상으로 연구가 진행되고 있지만, 접근성을 비롯한 여러 장점을 가진 수피의 경우 복잡도가 높고 자료가 부족하여 연구가 제한적이었다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 흔히 관찰 가능한 수목 54종의 사진자료를 약 7,000 여장 수집 및 공개하였고, 이를 해외의 20 수종에 대한 BarkNet 1.0의 자료와 결합하여 학습에 충분한 수의 사진 수를 가지는 53종을 선정하고, 사진들을 7:3의 비율로 나누어 훈련과 평가에 활용하였다. 분류 모델의 경우, 딥러닝 기법의 일종인 합성곱 신경망을 활용하였는데, 가장 널리 쓰이는 VGGNet (Visual Geometry Group Network) 16층, 19층 모델 두 가지를 학습시키고 성능을 비교하였다. 또한 본 모형의 활용성 및 한계점을 확인하기 위하여 학습에 사용하지 않은 수종과 덩굴식물과 같은 방해 요소가 있는 사진들에 대한 모델의 정확도를 확인하였다. 학습 결과 VGG16과 VGG19는 각각 90.41%와 92.62%의 높은 정확도를 보였으며, 더 복잡도가 높은 모델인 VGG19가 조금 더 나은 성능을 보임을 확인하였다. 학습에 활용되지 않은 수목을 동정한 결과 80% 이상의 경우에서 같은 속 또는 같은 과에 속한 수종으로 예측하는 것으로 드러났다. 반면, 이끼, 만경식물, 옹이 등의 방해 요소가 존재할 경우 방해요소가 자치하는 비중에 따라 정확도가 떨어지는 것이 확인되어 실제 현장에서 이를 보완하기 위한 방법들을 제안하였다.

During surgery, Surgical instruments are often left behind due to accidents. Most of these are surgical gauze, so radioactive non-permeable gauze (X-ray gauze) is used for preventing of accidents which gauze is left in the body. This gauze is divided into wire and pad type. If it is confirmed that the gauze remains in the body, gauze must be detected by radiologist's reading by imaging using a mobile X-ray device. But most of operating rooms are not equipped with a mobile X-ray device, but equipped C-Arm equipment, which is of poorer quality than mobile X-ray equipment and furthermore it takes time to read them. In this study, Use C-Arm equipment to acquire gauze image for detection and Build dataset using artificial intelligence and select a detection model to Assist with the relatively low image quality and the reading of radiology specialists. mAP@50 and detection time are used as indicators for performance evaluation. The result is that two-class gauze detection dataset is more accurate and YOLOv5 model mAP@50 is 93.4% and detection time is 11.7 ms.

Ensuring reliability of a machinery system involve the prediction of remaining useful life (RUL). In most RUL prediction approaches, noise is always considered for removal. Nevertheless, noise could be properly utilized to enhance the prediction capabilities. In this paper, we proposed a novel RUL prediction approach based on noise injection and a Kalman filter ensemble of modified bagging predictors. Firstly, we proposed a new method to insert Gaussian noises into both observation and feature spaces of an original training dataset, named GN-DAFC. Secondly, we developed a modified bagging method based on Kalman filter averaging, named KBAG. Then, we developed a new ensemble method which is a Kalman filter ensemble of KBAGs, named DKBAG. Finally, we proposed a novel RUL prediction approach GN-DAFC-DKBAG in which the optimal noise-injected training dataset was determined by a GN-DAFC-based searching strategy and then inputted to a DKBAG model. Our approach is validated on the NASA C-MAPSS dataset of aero-engines. Experimental results show that our approach achieves significantly better performance than a traditional Kalman filter ensemble of single learning models (KESLM) and the original DKBAG approaches. We also found that the optimal noise-injected data could improve the prediction performance of both KESLM and DKBAG. We further compare our approach with two advanced ensemble approaches, and the results indicate that the former also has better performance than the latters. Thus, our approach of combining optimal noise injection and DKBAG provides an effective solution for RUL estimation of machinery systems.

Construction inspection is a crucial stage that ensures that all contractual requirements of a construction project are verified. The construction inspection capabilities among state highway agencies have been greatly affected due to budget reduction. As a result, efficient inspection practices such as risk-based inspection are required to optimize the use of limited resources without compromising inspection quality. Automated prioritization of textual requirements according to their criticality would be extremely helpful since contractual requirements are typically presented in an unstructured natural language in voluminous text documents. The current study introduces a novel model for predicting the risk level of requirements using machine learning (ML) algorithms. The ML algorithms tested in this study included naïve Bayes, support vector machines, logistic regression, and random forest. The training data includes sequences of requirement texts which were labeled with risk levels (such as very low, low, medium, high, very high) using the fuzzy logic systems. The fuzzy model treats the three risk factors (severity, probability, detectability) as fuzzy input variables, and implements the fuzzy inference rules to determine the labels of requirements. The performance of the model was examined on labeled dataset created by fuzzy inference rules and three different membership functions. The developed requirement risk prediction model yielded a precision, recall, and f-score of 78.18%, 77.75%, and 75.82%, respectively. The proposed model is expected to provide construction inspectors with a means for the automated prioritization of voluminous requirements by their importance, thus help to maximize the effectiveness of inspection activities under resource constraints.

Background: To gain a better understanding of nonfatal injuries in Alaska, underutilized data sources such as workers' compensation claims must be analyzed. The purpose of the current study was to utilize workers' compensation claims data to estimate the risk of nonfatal, work-related injuries among occupations in Alaska, characterize injury patterns, and prioritize future research. Methods: A dataset with information on all submitted claims during 2014-2015 was provided for analysis. Claims were manually reviewed and coded. For inclusion in this study, claims had to represent incidents that resulted in a nonfatal acute traumatic injury, occurred in Alaska during 2014-2015, and were approved for compensation. Results: Construction workers had the highest number of injuries (2,220), but a rate lower than the overall rate (34 per 1,000 construction workers, compared to 40 per 1,000 workers overall). Fire fighters had the highest rate of injuries on the job, with 162 injuries per 1,000 workers, followed by law enforcement officers with 121 injuries per 1,000 workers. The most common types of injuries across all occupations were sprains/strains/tears, contusions, and lacerations. Conclusion: The successful use of Alaska workers' compensation data demonstrates that the information provided in the claims dataset is meaningful for epidemiologic research. The predominance of sprains, strains, and tears among all occupations in Alaska indicates that ergonomic interventions to prevent overexertion are needed. These findings will be used to promote and guide future injury prevention research and interventions.
