Construction in the UK is the second most dangerous industry in terms of fatal and minor injuries according to the 2014 report of HSE. The use of mobile devices such as iPad, Tablets and Smart phones on the live construction projects is also on the increase in the UK due to the 2016 - Level 2 BIM (Building Information Modelling) implementation target, set by the UK Government. Hence, the use of such devices may become a distraction from work activities on the construction sites and will cause a major risk to the end users. The subject of improving safety of BIM use is widely researched, but there is a gap in knowledge about the actual use of the mobile devices and perception of 'Site BIM', on the construction site activities. The main gap identified in the 'Site BIM' is the health and safety aspect of using such devices on the construction sites. A safer way of working with such devices needs to be identified to avoid any potential site hazards and fatalities before the widespread use of the devices are found on the construction projects. In that context, the paper is aimed to highlight the safety issues that are required to address for the successful implementation of the mobile devices for safer use of the 'Site BIM'. Questionnaire survey was used to collect the site information among construction professionals in the UK. The survey findings suggested that a proactive approach may be helpful to stop potential hazards and risks causing by the use of mobile devices and potential measures need to be identified before any injuries and incidents occur. The paper concludes that training, changing size of mobile devices and ensuring a separate induction training for 'Site BIM' tools will improve the health and safety of the end users of the mobile devices at the live construction sites.

Despite longstanding concern with the dimensionality of the service quality construct as measured by ServQual and IS-ServQual instruments, variations on the IS-ServQual instrument have been enduringly prominent in both academic research and practice in the field of IS. We explain the continuing popularity of the instrument based on the salience of the item set for predicting overall customer satisfaction, suggesting that the preoccupation with the dimensions has been a distraction. The implicit mutual exclusivity of the items suggests a more appropriate conceptualization of IS-ServQual as a formative index. This conceptualization resolves the paradox in IS-ServQual research, that of how an instrument with such well-known and well-documented weaknesses continue to be very influential and widely used by academics and practitioners. A formative conceptualization acknowledges and addresses the criticisms of IS-ServQual, while simultaneously explaining its enduring salience by focusing on the items rather than the "dimensions." By employing an opportunistic sample and adopting the most recent IS-ServQual instrument published in a leading IS journal (virtually, any valid IS-ServQual sample in combination with a previously tested instrument variant would suffice for study purposes), we demonstrate that when re-specified as both first-order and second-order formatives, IS-ServQual has good model quality metrics and high predictive power on customer satisfaction. We conclude that this formative specification has higher practical use and is more defensible theoretically.

Objective: The purpose of this research was to use data for furnish quality physical therapy service. The research subjects were admitted shoulder pain patients treated with physical therapy that was to grasp physical therapy method as distinguishing application time. Subject: Total number of distributed questionnaire was 563 persons that was to utilized physical therapy room of 56th medical institution and distributed it to each physical therapist in charge. Method: The research used questionnaire in order to research itemized treatment application time that is according to physical therapy method to applicated with shoulder pain patient. The research contents is to received shoulder pain diagnosis period, total duration of utilizing physical therapy room, the number of times per week to used physical therapy room, etc. And we had physical therapist recording the time of application physical therapy method come under the items. Result: The average treatment time was 59.2 minutes at all patients. During this time, 39.7 min was modality treatment. Active movement treatment was only 7.1 min. Total treatment time was longest in general hospital at 64.9 min, it was shortest in clinical hospital at 53.3 min. Treatment time was difference as hospital scale(p<0.001). Active movement treatment time was longest in general hospital at 11.5 min. The average treatment time was 4.5 min in clinical hospital. Therefore, it was related to hospital scale(p<0.05). The average of manual therapy time by physical therapist was 7.5 min. General hospital was linger at 8.6 min than clinical hospital at 6.7 min(p<0.05). Patient of 90.2 % were treated to hot pack, ultra-sound treatment was next as 50.1%. Active strengthening exercise was most carrying out of the active treatment as 25.4 %. Active sensorimotor exercise was practiced only 28 persons of 5.0 %. Most joint mobilization (38.4 %) was used of the passive manual therapy items, next to soft tissue mobilization (33.0 %), and next to manual distraction therapy(14.0 %).

본 연구는 건축학과 설계스튜디오 운영실태와 사용자 인식의 분석을 통해 설계스튜디오 실내공간에 대한 개선요소를 제안하였다. 공통적인 개선사항으로 첫째, 개인공간의 명확한 구획이다. 개인공간의 독립성과 영역성을 확보하는 것이 중요한 요소로 나타났고 가변파티션(movable partition)을 통해 획일화된 구성보다 분반에 관계없이 자유롭게 개인공간을 구획하는 것을 선호했다. 둘째, 공동공간 면적의 확보이다. 공동작업공간은 스튜디오내 유일한 공동공간으로 용도가 다양하고 유용성 또한 높은 만큼 유형의 특성을 고려하여 충분한 면적으로 계획하여야 한다. 셋째, 개인공간과 공동공간의 명확한 공간 구분이다. 이를 위해 주어진 면적에서 공간을 효과적으로 사용할 수 있도록 가변파티션, 공용통로 등의 융통성 있는 계획이 필요하다. 넷째, 유형별 스튜디오의 주요 개선사항으로 개실형은 공동작업 공간 확보, 혼합형은 인접스튜디오의 간섭차단, 오픈형은 수업공간의 별도 계획 등으로 나타났다.
