Nuclear power plants (NPP) are complex socio-technological systems that rely on the success of both hardware and human components. Empirical studies of plant operating experience show that human errors are important contributors to accidents and incidents, and that organizational factors play an important role in creating contexts for human errors. Current probabilistic safety assessments (PSA) do not explicitly model the systematic contribution of organizational factors to safety. As some countries, like the United States, are moving towards increased use of risk information in the regulation and operation of nuclear facilities, PSA quality has been identified as an area for improvement. The modeling of human errors, and underlying organizational weaknesses at the root of these errors, are important sources of uncertainty in existing PSAs and areas of on-going research. This paper presents a review of research into the following questions: Is there evidence that organizational factors are important to NPP safety? How do organizations contribute to safety in NPP operations? And how can these organizational contributions be captured more explicitly in PSA? We present a few past incidents that illustrate the potential safety implications of organizational deficiencies, some mechanisms by which organizational factors contribute to NPP risk, and some of the methods proposed in the literature for performing root-cause analyses and including organizational factors in PSA.

In recent years, Vietnam's economic growth rate has been attributed to the growth of many well-managed industries within Southeast Asia. Among them is the civil construction industry. Construction projects typically take a long time to complete and require a huge budget. Many socio-economic variables and factors affect total construction project costs due to market fluctuations. In recent years, crucial socioeconomic development indicators of construction reached a fairly high growth rate. Also, most infrastructure and construction projects have a high degree of complexity and uncertainty. This makes it challenging to predict the accurate project price. These challenges raise the need to recognize significant factors that influence the construction price index of civil buildings in Vietnam, both micro and macro. Therefore, this paper presents critical factors that affect the construction price index using the fuzzy extent analysis process in an uncertain environment. This proposed quantitative model is expected to reflect the uncertainty in the process of evaluating and ranking the influencing factors of the construction price index in Vietnam. The research results would also allow project stakeholders to be more informed of the factors affecting the construction price index in the context of Vietnam's civil construction industry. They also enable construction contractors to estimate project costs and bid rates better, enhancing their project and risk management performance.

최근 국내외적으로 지하공동과 더불어 지반함몰발생 빈도수가 높아지고 있다. 따라서 지하 공동 주변부 응력이완영역의 복구에 대한 관심도 높아지고 있다. 이완영역은 지반 내에서 빈공간이 발생함에 따라 빈 공간 주변부의 지반이 원지반의 강성 및 다짐도를 잃고 느슨해진 상태로 추가적인 공동 확장 및 붕괴를 유발 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공동 주변부 지반 이완영역을 보강하기 위해 팽창성 재료를 활용한 지반함몰 복구공법을 적용하고 이를 검증하고자 한다. 우선적으로 팽창성 재료의 기본 물리적 특성 및 팽창 특성을 파악하였고, 이완영역 모사 실험 장비를 제작하여 팽창성 재료의 팽창 시 이완영역에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 이완영역은 수치해석상 스프링계수로 모사하였다. 수치해석 변수로는 공동 체적에 대한 투입된 팽창성 재료의 부피비, 이완영역의 이완정도, 공동의 형상을 설정하였고, 이에 따른 이완영역의 전반적인 거동을 수치해석적으로 분석하였다. 해석 결과 해석 변수들은 서로 영향을 주는 인자들이였으며, 팽창성 재료가 지하공동에 삽입되었을 경우 지하공동 채움 및 이완영역 복구 정도를 확인하였다.

Actually, Cyberpunk is a compound word joined by cybernetics, which was used in control theory, and punk, was symbolized as anti-culture. Today, however, the definition of the term has been extended by various fields, used in many meanings. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to apply the Cyberpunk concepts to understand today　s fashion because understanding of the present fashion is a means to interpret our culture. For this purpose, the phenomenon of Cyberpunk in fashion was subdivided into three factors material, color, and style. The results of the study were as follows : First, the materials used were techno material, special print by computer for future feeling and geometrical pattern, optical pattern to improve visual effects. Second, the colors mainly used were silver, black and white, bright color, and off-color of computer animation to present future-oriented feeling. Third, the general styles used were fit and slim, simple and liner, dualistic style to express future　s image. In conclusion, the phenomena of Cyberpunk in fashion were expressed in material, color and style of fashion. Cyberpunk fashion was evident in T-shirts, sweaters, jackets, or as items of ornamentation such as pins, pendants, belts, and earrings, etc.

The ZnO devices using semiconductor properties, to include $MnO_2$, $Y_2O_3$ and other material, was fabricated by $Sb_2O_3$ mol ratio from 1 to 4 [mol%]. The non-linearity factor was calculated by setting current to be $1[mA/cm^2]$ and $10[mA/cm^2]$. The spinel structure was fonned by $Sb_2O_3$ addition and it was depressed the ZnO grain formation. The grain growing was controlled by spinel structure that has improved the non-linearity factors. The breakdown voltage characteristics of semiconductor devices to increase with $Sb_2O_3$ was increased in voltage-current. The non-linearity value of ZnO semiconductor devices was 45 over.

In traditional Chinese medicine, some herbs are used after toasting or roasting. The process is called "Zhi Tan" in Chinese, which means charring, and the herbs after the treatment is called carbon medicine. Carbon medicine is widely used to arrest bleeding in traditional Chinese medicine. The paper introduces the records, development and applications of carbon medicine in ancient China. The earliest record found about carbon medicine was in the remains of Han dynasty (BC206-A.D.8). The paper also introduces the process of charring herbs and mechanism of carbon medicine in arresting bleeding. Calcium iron and tan released during the charring are believed as main factors for arresting bleeding, helped with porous surface structure of active carbon.

This paper deals with the analytical model of an elastic porous material in sound transmission loss of a double panel with fiber glasses. From the parametric analysis, it is concluded that the boundary condition, which is concerned to the contact between the skin panel and core materials, does not have much influence on sound transmission loss of a double panel with fiber glasses, and material properties of the porous material become, however, important factors to mass-spring-mass resonance. The comparisons of the prediction with the measurement of sound transmission loss of walls show good agreement between the two values.

This paper considers a cost model for a U-shaped manufacturing cell formation which incorporates a required number of machines and various material flows together under multi-part multi-cell environment. The model is required to satisfy both the specified operation sequence of each part and the total part demand volume, which are considered to derive material handling cost in U-shaped flow line cells. In the model several cost-incurring factors including set-up for batch change-over, processing time for operations of each part, and machine failures are also considered in association with processing load and capacity of each cell. Moreover, a heuristic for a good machine layout in each cell is newly proposed based on the material handling cost of each alternative sequence layout. These all are put together to present an efficient heuristic for the U-shaped independent-cell formation problem, numerical problems are solved to illustrate the algorithm.
