A Study on the Development Direction of Smart Supervision System Using Drones
Authors:   Korea Safety Culture Society, Park Jong Yong , Lee Chang Nam
Published: June 2024

Currently, Korea's smart construction industry is becoming more advanced, and technology that can promote safety by incorporating ICT (Information & Communication Technology) convergence technology is being applied and developed. This study aims to provide information on the construction site to supervisors and builders by providing analysis data to the construction site using drones, etc., and to suggest development directions through smart supervision system improvement. In this study, after deriving major items through prior research, a focus interview was conducted with 7 supervisors to select important items for each research problem, and a total of 150 people, including construction project managers, manager supervisors, safety managers, and workers, were surveyed. As a result of the analysis of the survey on the satisfaction of smart supervision systems using drones at construction sites, the operation of drones will be highly useful in the construction field in the future (8.7, 25.92%), the smart supervision system using drones reflects what builders and supervisors want (8.3, 24.86%), and the drone is consistent with the goal of using smart supervision (8.3, 24.73%) and the drone system level is excellent (8.2, 24.49%). Through this study, it was found that the smart surveillance system using drones would be very useful in the construction field, and it was found that the efficiency of safety, accuracy, and economy could be improved by using drones instead of visually measuring and checking the field. It is hoped that the research results of this paper will provide the information necessary to improve the quality of the surveillance system in the construction sector at home and abroad and to prevent safety accidents at construction sites.
Effect of Academic Stress, Body Esteem, and Self-Compassion on Premenstrual syndrome in Female College Students
Authors:   Korea Safety Culture Society, Yoon Ji Won
Published: June 2024

Menstruation is a normal female reproductive function but many women experience physical, mental, and behavioral discomfort related to menstruation, therefore the significance of the active intervention is highlighted. Accordingly, this study attempted to provide the basis for the development of a program for managing premenstrual syndrome by identifying the correlations between academic stress, body esteem, self-compassion, and premenstrual syndrome and influencing factors of premenstrual syndrome among female college students. The study subjects were 180 female college students at a university in Gyeonggi-do, and the collected data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, t-test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficients, and Multiple Regression using the SPSS Win 28.0 statistical program. The results showed that the average score of premenstrual syndrome was 1.86, academic stress was 2.68, body esteem was 2.65, and self-compassion was 3.22. Analyzing the premenstrual syndrome according to the general characteristics and menstrual-related characteristics of the subjects, there were significant differences in age(F=3.05, p=.049), exercise frequency(F=3.53, p=.030), amount of menstruation(F=4.48, p=.013), and menstrual pain(F=13.81, p=.001). Premenstrual syndrome had a notable positive correlation with academic stress (r=.26, p<.001), and a significant negative correlation with body esteem (r=-.27, p<.001) and self-compassion (r=-.23, p<.001). Academic stress had a significant negative correlation with body esteem (r=-.50, p<.001) and self-compassion (r=-.56, p<.001), and body esteem had a significant positive correlation with self-compassion (r=.57, p<.001). Multiple regression analysis was implemented to identify the factors affecting premenstrual syndrome of female college students, and the result showed that severe menstrual pain(β=.46, p<.001), normal menstrual pain(β=.38, p<.001), heavy menstrual flow(β=.38, p<.001), age((β=.18 p=.029), academic stress(β=.18 p=.022), and body esteem (β=-.17, p=.026), and the level of explanation was 26.0%. In other words, more intense or regular menstrual pain, heavier menstrual flow, older age(≥24), higher academic stress, and lower body esteem were correlated with more serious premenstrual syndrome in female college students. Based on the findings, it is necessary to develop and apply various programs not only for managing menstrual symptoms but also for managing academic stress and enhancing body esteem to alleviate menstrual symptoms and improve menstrual health among female college students.

“[S]treite vnto my mirrour and my glas”: Disabled Ethos in Thomas Hoccleve’s “My Compleinte”
Authors: Cedillo Christina V.
Published: June 2024

Invoking James J. Murphy’s reminder that we can still learn from people of the past, this article examines Thomas Hoccleve’s 1420 poem “My Compleinte” as an example of medieval “disability rhetorics,” or how disabled people themselves speak about disability and being disabled. In this poem, Hoccleve adapts the genre of the speculum principis (mirror for princes), which guides readers toward moral action, to depict his past mental breakdown and subsequent social alienation in order to exhort his former friends to amend their attitudes toward him. While disability as a concept and an identity proves anachronistic in relation to the Middle Ages, Hoccleve’s poem presents a vital case study in ethos construction driven by disability, reflecting some of the same rhetorical concerns facing disabled rhetors today despite the passage of time.
Killing the Messenger in Richard Coer de Lyon
Authors: Broaddus Elise
Published: June 2024

Reading the ars dictaminis as a medieval media theory that carefully accounts for the relationships the epistle generates between the text object and its users, this article examines the human body of the epistolary messenger as a locus of anxiety in both medieval rhetoricians’ theorizations of epistolarity and literary depictions of epistolarity. Letter-writing manuals—such as Guido Faba’s Summa dictaminis (ca. 1228–29), Thomas of Capua’s Ars dictandi (1216–20), and Conrad von Mure’s Summa de arte prosandi (1275–76)—emphasize the status of the letter as a material object, operating among and across human and nonhuman bodies in what is termed here the epistolary circuit. The messenger’s human body is a site of vulnerability to violence, particularly in romances, which often depict the subsumption of individual bodies into the machineries of statecraft. The titular hero of Richard Coer de Lyon (early fourteenth century) kills hostages and turns their bodies into pseudoepistles, parodying the complementary relationship between textual “body” and human body inherent in the epistolary circuit, as established in the reading offered here of the dictaminal treatises.
Non-Human Creatures in Joseon Wangjo Sillok: Pragmatics, Myth and Morality
Authors: Sleziak Tomasz
Published: June 2024

From the modern point of view, The Annals of Joseon Dynasty (Joseon Wangjo Sillok 朝鮮王朝實錄)—one of the major literary windows into the discourse at the royal court of premodern and early modern Korea—may appear strongly anthropocentric. The nonhuman dimension is especially underutilized in research on the Joseon era whenever animals and legendary creatures are taken into consideration, as they have often served multiple functions in high-level discussions—for example, as exemplifications of moral judgments, sociocultural “otherness,” or purely within the frameworks of husbandry, taxation, and rural administration. Indeed, a closer look reveals that “miscellaneous” or even “posthuman” topics are often strongly connected with this-worldly attitudes of Joseon-era Confucian scholar officialdom. In this article, the pragmatic aspects of the “birds and beasts,”, including indigenous as well as Chinese nonhumans, and the influence their associated notions exerted on the theory and practice of Joseon’s Confucian statesmanship will be analyzed.
Settling the Desert, Unsettling the Mirage: Urban Ecologies of Arab and Gulf Futurisms in Ahmed Naji’s Using Life
Authors: Tabur Merve
Published: June 2024

Contemporary Arabic speculative fiction, particularly following the Arab Spring uprisings, is often interpreted as part of an emerging trend of Arab dystopias responding to political upheaval. These texts’ ecological concerns, which produce diverse conceptions of futurity, are understudied. This article examines how urban futures are envisioned in an Egyptian speculative fiction text, Ahmed Naji’s Istikhdām al-ḥayāh (2014; Using Life, 2017). Putting Using Life in dialogue with discussions on Gulf futurism and Arabfuturisms, the article first examines the text’s depiction of hegemonic techno-futurist visions, aimed at manifesting a global utopian future through urban design and development projects. The author argues that this futurist discourse, which has affinities with Gulf futurism, operates through the dual enframing of nature and history, and then demonstrates how the text resists this techno-futurist vision through an assemblage aesthetics that echoes Sulaiman Majali’s Arabfuturism(s) manifesto. The novel’s assemblage aesthetics, which is central to its conception of counter-futures, redefines the human relationship to urban ecologies and to literature through an emphasis on embodiment.

El incremento poblacional y los avances tecnológicos han llevado a la industria de la construcción a buscar métodos más eficientes para aumentar la productividad y reducir el desperdicio. Como resultado, la construcción en seco, particularmente el steel framing, ha ganado notable popularidad en el mercado. Este enfoque innovador no solo optimiza el uso de materiales, sino que también acelera los tiempos de construcción y mejora la sostenibilidad del proceso. El artículo de investigación se centró en la necesidad de evaluar y comparar el comportamiento sismorresistente de dos sistemas estructurales: el steel framing y la estructura metálica convencional, entendiéndose como tal al sistema porticado. Este análisis es especialmente relevante en el contexto de Ecuador, una región con alto riesgo sísmico. El estudio buscó determinar cuál de estos sistemas ofrece una mayor eficiencia en lo que respecta a su comportamiento sismorresistente para las viviendas multifamiliares con una configuración regular en planta. Además, esta investigación pretende proporcionar directrices claras para la elección del sistema constructivo más adecuado, contribuyendo así a mejorar las prácticas constructivas y la seguridad de las viviendas en áreas propensas a terremotos. Además de los parámetros de diseño sismorresistente, se identificó otro factor relevante en el ámbito constructivo: el índice de peso sobre área de la estructura de vivienda. Se observó una ligera diferencia entre el sistema steel framing y la estructura metálica convencional, siendo el steel framing un 2,7 % más pesado que la estructura metálica convencional.

Actualmente, la educación ambiental promueve el respeto y la conservación de la naturaleza. Esta educación fomenta una cultura proactiva comprometida con el cuidado del entorno. La metodología TINI asegura que los estudiantes se interesen por aprender de manera diferente, aplicando sus conocimientos al entorno natural. Es un enfoque positivo para fortalecer y alcanzar objetivos educativos y ambientales. En esta investigación, se implementó la metodología TINI en la asignatura de Ciencias Naturales para enseñar educación ambiental a estudiantes de cuarto año en la Unidad Educativa Dureno. Se utilizó un enfoque mixto, cualitativo y cuantitativo, con un método de estudio descriptivo y explicativo. Se llevó a cabo una encuesta estructurada con cinco preguntas para los docentes y seis para los estudiantes. La población estudiada incluyó a 50 estudiantes y 10 docentes. Los resultados de la investigación mostraron una educación ambiental insuficiente entre los estudiantes, lo que afecta negativamente sus hábitos y comportamientos hacia el medio ambiente. Por lo tanto, la implementación de la metodología TINI se considera adecuada para fortalecer valores y fomentar el cuidado y la protección de la naturaleza. Se destaca que las actividades al aire libre son especialmente adecuadas para el desarrollo de la asignatura de ciencias naturales. A través de la metodología TINI, se busca formar estudiantes responsables, afectivos, emprendedores e iniciativos, con habilidades para cuidar y apreciar la naturaleza, sentando así una buena base para la sostenibilidad.

Daun jagung adalah bagian paling penting bagi tanaman jagung untuk keberlangsungan pertumbuhan. Pada daun secara umum dianggap sebagai organ utama dalam proses fotosintesis tumbuhan. Berdasarkan hal tersebut kualitas daun jagung perlu diperhatikan untuk produktivitas fotosintesis pada pertumbuhan tanaman jagung. Oleh sebab itu perlu dilakukan pengklasifikasian kualitas daun jagung. Pada proyek kali ini kami mengembangkan sistem klasifikasi daun dengan menggunakan metode morfologi gradien. Pada awal proses dilakukan akuisisi citra pada daun jagung kemudian dilakukan ekstraksi warna pada daun jagung untuk mendapat nilai keabuan. Setelah dilakukan ekstraksi citra kemudian beralih ke proses segmentasi. Proses segmentasi dengan metode morfologi kali ini yang kita pakai yaitu dilasi, erosi dan closing. Pada ketiga proses segmentasi tersebut proses yang paling penting yaitu proses closing yang mana proses tersebut bertujuan untuk menghaluskan citra agar struktur tampak lebih jelas dan menghasilkan sebuah segmentasi. Pada hasil segmentasi ditetapkan jika citra daun melebihi nilai 100 maka dianggap sebagai daun sehat sedangkan jika kurang dari 100 maka dianggap daun tidak sehat.

cielo dei faraoni. I soffitti astronomici nell'Egitto del Nuovo Regno
Authors: Guardiano Lorenzo
Published: June 2024

Nel Nuovo Regno (1550-1069 a.C.), un alto funzionario di nome Senenmut fece dipingere sul soffitto della camera funeraria della sua tomba a Deir el-Bahari l’immagine della volta notturna: si tratta del primo soffitto astronomico egiziano giunto a noi, nonché di una delle prime rappresentazioni compiute della volta celeste della storia. Per tutto il Nuovo Regno, i faraoni fecero realizzare nelle loro tombe e nei loro templi funerari degli splendidi soffitti astronomici di diverso tipo (dalle semplici mappe celesti ai componimenti più complessi che narrano il periplo del sole e delle stelle nella volta celeste). Pertanto, i soffitti astronomici divennero la cifra della trattatistica astronomica e cosmologica regale costituendo una vera e propria summa dell’astronomia faraonica: dei veri e propri atlanti celesti arricchiti da didascalie e complessi testi di natura scientifico-religiosa con connotazioni funerarie. Questo libro costituisce uno studio sistematico di tutti i soffitti egiziani che contengono raffigurazioni o testi di natura astronomica databili al Nuovo Regno, dei quali fornisce anche un’edizione critica completa.

In recent years, soil solidification by EICP method is a green and environmentally friendly foundation treatment technology that has become popular in the field of geotechnical engineering. Compared with the traditional chemical induction method and the MICP method, the EICP method is not easily restricted by environmental factors associated with engineering geological problems and is green and environmentally friendly with lower cost. In this paper, a study was carried out to improve the seepage-mechanical properties of sandy soils by the EICP method. First, soybean urease solution extraction and its performance optimization methods were explored. Tests were conducted to compare urease extraction and detect activity. The activity of urease was 7.1% higher in deionized water than Laoshan mineral water. Second, the EICP grouting mineralization test was performed by using the carbon fiber reinforcement method. The CaCO3 content, unconfined compressive strength, porosity, permeability and other indicators of the sandy soil were systematically analyzed, and microscopic tests were conducted. The test results showed that after carbon fibers were added to the sand, the mineralization effect of EICP led to the precipitation of CaCO3 that adhered to the surfaces of sand grains and fibers and filled and cemented the pores between sand grains, which improved the integrity of the spatial structure and formed a stable solid sand-fiber monolithic composite structure. When the carbon fiber content was 1.2%, all aspects of performance were optimum. The above test results showed that the carbon fiber-based EICP mineralization method could effectively inhibit the brittle failure and improve the permeability and mechanical properties of sandy soil. This method has good application prospects and development potential for use in engineering geology.
Unveiling Systemic Immune Inflammation Index Correlations in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Akram Wisam , Fadhil Amenah , Nori Wassan
Published: June 2024

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy of reproductive-age women that imposes metabolic and cardiovascular risks. Systemic immune inflammation index (SII), an inflammatory biomarker calculated from a complete blood count, was linked to many metabolic and cardiovascular illnesses. Objective: To evaluate the SII correlation with clinical, biochemical, and hormonal parameters characteristic of PCOS cases for screening and diagnostic values. Methods: For fifty PCOS patients who were eligible, we did a cross-sectional study and collected three types of information on each person: demographic information like age, menstrual cycle length, and body mass index (BMI); hormonal information like LH/FSH ratio, testosterone, and fasting insulin; and biochemical information like the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), serum cholesterol, serum HDL, and serum LDL. The systemic inflammatory index (SII) was calculated from a complete blood count. Results: We found a strong positive correlation between SII and BMI, LH/FSH ratio, testosterone, fasting serum insulin, HOMA-IR, cholesterol, and LDL. However, the correlation between SII, HDL and menstrual cycle days was negative. Regarding the other parameters (HOMA-IR, testosterone, cholesterol, BMI, and LH/FSH ratio), the best subset regression model figures out how strongly SII is linked to each one. Conclusions: SII was strongly and significantly correlated to PCOS clinical, biochemical, and hormonal parameters, which makes it recommendable for screening. Its feasibility, affordability, and meaningful correlation inspired therapeutic and prognostic applications in practice.

Los seres humanos requieren de más de 22 elementos minerales para su desarrollo óptimo, los cuales pueden ser suplementados con una dieta balanceada. Las deficiencias de micronutrientes se han incrementado en las últimas décadas debido a la depreciación general de la calidad de la dieta de las poblaciones vulnerables, tanto en los países desarrollados y en desarrollo. Se estima que, de la población que padece malnutrición de micronutrientes, entre un 60 a 80 % presenta deficiencia de hierro (Fe), más de 30 % tiene deficiencia en zinc (Zn), 30 % es deficiente en yodo (I) y alrededor del 15 % es deficiente en selenio (Se). Las deficiencias de hierro (Fe) y zinc (Zn) son un problema crítico de salud pública en todo el mundo, con el impacto negativo en la salud, la esperanza de vida y la productividad. El proceso de biofortificación es un enfoque agrícola que puede mejorar la nutrición humana a nivel mundial.

Mito e aura versus anonimato e produção industrial
Authors: Martins Leilane Rigatto
Published: June 2024

O texto busca abrir o debate sobre como a ação do mito incide na falta de um consenso sobre uma visão homogênea de projeto no design de moda. A metodologia consistiu na revisão de literatura sobre o mito para analisar artigos sobre projeto publicados no Colóquio de Moda e no P&D, além de coleta e tratamento de fontes primárias como relatos e diplomas. Menor é a manifestação do mito, maior é a convergência sobre uma visão de projeto entre moda e design. Onde o mito prevalece, maior é a divergência sobre projeto entre os campos.

Mangrove ecosystems are coastal areas with ecological and socioeconomic functions. This area has a function as a nutrient provider for aquatic biota. The mangrove ecosystem also plays important role in nutrient cycling in coastal areas. The process of converting nitrogen into nutrients needed by plants (ammonium (NH4+) or nitrate (NO3+)) is called nitrogen fixation. The agents that play a role in this process are bacteria. The mangrove sediment has an abundant microbial communities which responsibility to this process. Sampling was carried out in the mangrove area of Tirang Beach, Semarang using the purposive sampling method. There are three sampling points, such as in the estuary, residential areas, and ponds. The isolation process was carried out using the spread plate method on solid NFB (Nitrogen Free Bromthymol) selective media, and purification using the quadrant streak plate method on the media. There are the most bacterial colonies in mangrove locations next to settlements, range from 2-11 bacterial colonies, and the least in mangrove locations near water bodies is 6 bacterial colonies. After purification, eight pure bacterial colonies have been identified and have similar morphological characteristics, white color, circular shape, entire margin, and flat elevation.
Symbolism in Extended Reality
Authors: Cai Yang
Published: June 2024

For centuries, humans used symbols to describe scenes, objects, and events. Some of the symbols have evolved into pictorial languages such as petroglyphs and Chinese. The rapidly growing Extended Reality (XR) technologies enable users to experience immersive photorealistic views with head-mounted displays, 3D projection screens, or holographic display panels. The purpose of Extended Reality (XR) is to make invisible to be visible to the user. In this study, we explore how to superimpose symbolic feedback to the user in forms of geometric shapes, trajectory traces, spectra image, semantic network, and multimodal alerts, including audio and tactile signals. We zoom into the laparoscopic surgery train as a case study for applications. Our preliminary experiment results show that the symbolism approach does not significantly increase the distraction of attention or computational load. We also found that Extended Reality, especially, multimodal alert would be a bridge between manual operations and autonomous operations.
Exploring the Willingness of Knowledge Workers to Use the Metaverse Office: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Wang Yuzhen , Yu Ruifeng
Published: June 2024

The metaverse, with its potential to provide immersive work environments, may emerge as an effective solution for telecommuting. However, the adoption and promotion of the metaverse office are slowed down due to the public's limited acceptance of this new technology. This study employed interviews (N = 8) and questionnaires (N = 12) to explore the willingness of knowledge workers to use the metaverse office and identify the main reasons influencing this decision. The findings indicate that while most participants hold a favourable view of the metaverse office concept, they concurrently acknowledge a significant disparity between its envisioned blueprint and its practical implementation. The reasons affecting the willingness to utilize the metaverse office primarily fall into three categories: the current development level of metaverse technology, the completeness of functions in the metaverse office platform, and the characteristics of the users. These insights provide guidance for the future advancement direction of the metaverse office.

Published: June 2024

Anthropometry is crucial in ergonomic designing to ensure accommodation of diverse body sizes and shapes. 3D body scanning systems are now widely employed in anthropometric surveys for collecting data, requiring validation according to ISO 20685-1 for ISO 7250-1 measurements. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of the 3D body scanning system, Vitus Bodyscan, in combination with Anthroscan, for automatically calculated circumference measurements specified in ISO 7250-1, while considering the influence of different 3D data types. Overall, 9 circumference measurements were collected from 44 adult subjects. For the manual measurement, ISO 7250-1 guidelines were considered. For the 3D scanning, each participant was scanned once in a standing posture. Thereafter, proprietary Anthroscan algorithms were used to generate a watertight mesh from the initial 3D point cloud and computed the circumference measurements automatically. With the exception of calf circumference, scan-derived measurements exceeded the acceptable error margins specified in ISO 20685-1 and were therefore not comparable to manual measurements due to several possible factors. Practitioners need to consider these variations when using the scan-derived values. Looking at the differences between scan-derived measurements based on point clouds or watertight meshes, the deviations were negligible for most circumference measurements, except for arm circumference with better results based on point clouds. For simplicity, the authors recommend the use of point clouds for all circumference measurements studied. However, the recommendations are based on the anthropometric measurements and the 3D body scanning system used in this study and cannot be generalized.

Published: June 2024

In the era of Industry 5.0, prioritizing ergonomics in manufacturing systems is crucial. Assembly Line Balancing Problems (ALBPs) are integral to efficient manufacturing, optimizing lines to eliminate bottlenecks and enhance productivity. Recent developments emphasize Ergonomic ALBPs (Ergo-ALBPs) and the integration of Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) to address ergonomic risks. A research gap exists in applying ergonomic considerations in the design phase known as Ergo-ALDPs as corrective ergonomic interventions cost significantly more than preventive measures taken during the design phase. This study presents a novel approach, the fuzzy Ergo-ALDP, which extends the Ergo-ALBP to handle imprecise task times and ergonomic risks in the design phase.It introduces a fuzzy ergonomic expert system, utilizing fuzzy logic and Digital Human Modeling (DHM) to simulate worker interactions in assembly line optimization. The proposed fuzzy Ergo-ALDP addresses this gap with a constructive heuristic integrated with fuzzy logic, emphasizing feasibility. Our research introduces a unique fuzzy ergonomic assessment method to evaluate task, workstation, and assembly line ergonomics using an expert system. We validate this approach using one synthesized numerical instance. This research contributes to assembly line optimization, aligning with Industry 5.0's human-centric vision. The comprehensive fuzzy ergonomic assessment model bridges gaps and optimizes ALDPs under uncertainty, promising improvements in productivity, worker satisfaction, and operational efficiency. By addressing the intersection of ergonomics, uncertainty, and assembly line optimization, this paper significantly contributes to advancing the field and promoting a safer and more efficient manufacturing environment.
