This study purports to investigate the determinants of propensity to stay among nursing staff working at Korean hospitals. The independent variables contains three groups of determinants: environmental variables(job opportunity, spouse support, and parent support), psychological variables(met expectations, work involvement, positive affectivity, and negative affectivity), and structural variables(job autonomy, work unit control. routinization, supervisor support, coworker support, role ambiguity, role conflict, workload, resource inadequacy, distributive justice, promotional chances. job security, job hazards, and pay). The sample used in this study consisted of 329 nurses and 175 nurse aides from two university hospitals in Seoul and its surburbs. Data were collected with self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using path analysis. The results of this study indicate that: (1) the following variables, listed in order of size, have significant positive effects on propensity to stay among hospital nursing staff: job satisfaction, met expectations, supervisor support, job security, and positive affectivity, (2) the following variables, listed in order of size, have significant negative total effects on propensity to stay among hospital nursing staff: job opportunity, negative affectivity, and rutinization, (3) the model explains 44.2 percent of the variance in propensity to stay among nursing staff working at two university hospitals, and (4) managerial support for improving the job autonomy, distributive justice, and promotional opportunity for nurse aides are needed.

Device-to-device (D2D) communications underlaid cellular infrastructure is an competitive local area services technology to promote spectrum usage for next generation cellular networks. These potential can only be tap through efficient interference coordination. Previous works only concentrated on interference from D2D pairs whiles interference from CUs to D2D pairs were neglected. This work focus on solving uplink interference problem emanating from multiple CUs sharing its resource with multiple D2D pairs. The base station (BS) acting as a supervisor selfishly institute a pricing scheme to manage the interference it experience from D2D pairs based on its Quality of service (QoS) requirement. D2D pairs following the supervisor make power allocation decisions considering the price from the BS in a non-cooperative game fashion. In order for the D2D pairs to also meet their QoS requirement, they suggest a price to the BS called discount price which reflects the interference they receive from the CUs. Finally, we analyze the proposed approach.

Fuzzy supervisory control technique for the seismic response control of cable-stayed bridges subject to earthquakes is studied. The proposed technique is a hybrid control method, which adopts a hierarchical structure consisting of several sub-controllers and a fuzzy supervisor. Sub-controllers are independently designed to reduced the responses to be controlled of a cable-stayed bridge, and a fuzzy supervisor achieves improved seismic control performance by tuning the pre-designed sub-controllers. It is realized by converting static gains of the sub-controllers into time-varying dynamic gains through the fuzzy inference mechanism. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed technique, the benchmark control problem of cable-stayed bridge proposed by Dyke et al. is adopted. The control variables for the seismic response control of the cable-stayed bridge are determined to be t도 shear forces and bending moments at the base of the towers, the longitudinal displacements at the top of the towers, the relative displacements between the deck and the tower, and the tensions in the stay cables. Comparative results between the fuzzy supervisory controller and LQG controller demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control technique.

This study aims to explore the importance of job stress for hospital employees and psychosocial risk factors of their job stress. 1,890 survey questionnaires collected from 14 hospitals are used for the analysis. The study results shows that stress is the most important risk factor perceived by hospital workers. Also stress-related symptoms and diseases are perceived to occur most frequently among hospital employees. The multiple logistic regression analysis shows age, working hours, shiftwork, job demand, decision-latitude and social support from supervisor and colleagues affect stress level of hospital employees.

This paper presents the notion of time-coobservability as a core condition far the existence of a decentralized supervisor achieving a given language specification in a timed discrete event system (TDES). A TDES is modeled by the framework of Brandin & Wonham [5], and the decentralized supervisory control architecture presented is extended from the untimed architecture of Yoo & Lafortune [1]. To develop the time-coobservability of a language specification, specifically this paper presents the C&P time-coobservability and D&A time-coobservability in the consideration of the event tick and forcing mechanism of decentralized supervisors.

We proposed in this paper a systematic way for analyzing discrete event dynamic systems to classify faults and failures quantitatively and to find tolerable fault event sequences embedded in the system. An automated failure diagnosis scheme with respect to the nominal normal operating event sequences and the supervisory control problem for tolerable fault event sequences is presented. Moreover the supervisor failure diagnosis problem with respect to the tolerable fault event sequences is considered. Finally, a plasma etching system example is presented.

In a newly developed production control system, a safety control ought to be included as a means of ensuring a more rational control system for achieving efficiency. Such a system does not hold any meaning in itself unless accompanied with appropriate ways to make it practicable. A firm would have a number of function groups. Each of these groups would have specific functions or duties to perform. Their production activities would be planned at the level of departmental management. The planning will take such forms as production, quality and safety planning, and so far as each department would order the line from its own standpoint, scientific production activities could not be expected. All the programmes must, therefore, be integrated and coordinated by a supervisor.

This study was intended to measure the quality of sleep according to the job stress contents among nurses working for an university hospital. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 482 nurses employed in an university hospital during the period from June 1st to July 31st, 2011. As a results, the quality of sleep was significantly lower in the group with higher job demand, lower job control, lower supervisor and coworker support. In correlation, the level of quality of sleep was positively correlated with job demand, but it was negatively correlated with job control, supervisor and coworker support. In logistic regression analysis, the adjusted odds ratio of the quality of sleep was significantly increased in higher group of job demand than in lower group. But it was significantly decreased in higher group of supervisor and coworker support. The study results may explain that the quality of sleep is independently associated with the job stress contents.

In the previous work, we proposed a new stability criterion for the stability of switched linear systems. By the proposed criterion, we could simply check the stability of switched linear systems because the criterion is applicable to each individual subsystem without need to consider the overall system. Using this criterion, we provided the methods that design a state feedback control when full states are available. In this paper, we apply the same criterion to the case when full states are not available. Unlike existing method such as dwelling time analysis, the proposed method is suitable to a fast switching process because there is no need to consider dwelling time. And we can easily achieve designing multi-controller, multi-estimator, and the supervisor by means of the proposed method.
