Recently, ESG management has become a global trend, receiving increasing attention from stakeholders such as consumers, investors, and governments, as regulations related to ESG disclosure and supply chain due diligence have been strengthened since the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment (UN PRI) was announced in 2006. ESG is an acronym for the environment (E), social (S), and governance (G) and is accepted as a key factor for the continuous survival and growth of a company. As a result, there are over 600 ESG management evaluation indicators operated domestically and internationally, and numerous global initiatives have emerged. Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy also announced “K-ESG Guidelines (December 2011)” and “K-ESG Guidelines for Supply Chain Response (December 22)” to help SMEs introduce ESG management and respond to supply chain due diligence. However, small-scale manufacturing companies with poor financial, human resources, and technological capabilities face significant challenges in introducing ESG management. Accordingly, this study aims to examine the current status of ESG management adoption in small-scale manufacturing companies with less than 150 people in Korea and propose activation plan ESG management based on the diagnostic requirements of the “Supply Chain Response K-ESG Guidelines.”

In the event of an emergency such as facility shutdown during process operation, the by-product gas must be urgently discharged to the vent stack to prevent leakage, fire, and explosion. At this time, the explosion drop value of the released by-product gas is calculated using ISO 10156 formula, which is 27.7 vol%. Therefore, it does not correspond to flammable gas because it is less than 13% of the explosion drop value, which is the standard for flammable gas defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and since the explosion drop value is high, it can be seen that the risk of fire explosion is low even if it is discharged urgently with the vent stock. As a result of calculating the range of explosion hazard sites for hydrogen gas discharged to the Bent Stack according to KS C IEC 60079-10-1, 23 meters were calculated. Since hydrogen is lighter than air, electromechanical devices should not be installed within 23 meters of the upper portion of the Bent Stack, and if it is not possible, an explosion-proof electromechanical device suitable for type 1 of dangerous place should be installed. In addition, the height of the stack should be at least 5 meters so that the diffusion of by-product gas is facilitated in case of emergency discharge, and it should be installed so that there are no obstacles around it.

There is a Buddhist gong that is hanging in Dongnakwon of Guryongsa temple located in Wongju city, Gangwon-do. This Buddhist gong belongs to the second type of late Joseon period due to have two ridgelines on the front and the sides. In addition this Buddhist gong has six sankrit character ‘ (oṃ)’. The oldest Buddhist gong with Sanskrit characters which was made during late Joseon period is the Buddhist gong made in 1666 with inscription ‘the Kangxi 5th Year of Jangcheonsa temple, in which the five Sanskrit characters of “oṃ ma ṇi pad me” were arranged in the form of a pentagon. But coming to the state the Buddhist gong made in 1770 with inscription ’Qianlong 35 year of Neunggasa temple, four Sanskrit characters of oṃ was changed into a rhombus form. In the Buddhist gong made in 1837 with inscription ’Daogwang 17 year, six Sanskrit character of oṃ was changed into a hexagonal form. The oldest Buddhist gong with six Sanskrit characters was made in 1837 with inscription ‘Dogwang 17th Year’, however, this Buddhist gong was lost. The manufacturing time of the Buddhist gong with the six Sanskrit characters can be set as the lower limit based on the Buddhist gong with inscription Daogwang 17th Year. However, the type of the Buddhist gong of Guryongsa temple belongs to the second type Buddhist gong of the late Joseon Dynasty, and the seconf type Buddhist gongs were mainly produced in the 18th century. Referring to the Buddhist gong of Sokcho Sinheungsa temple made in 1788, although that of Guryongsa temple had no inscriptions that could know the manufacturing time, it appears that the Buddhist gong with six Sanskrit characters prior to the Buddhist gong with inscription Daogwang 17th Year made by Kim Jong-deuk in 1837 was produced in the late 18th century.

This study aims to examine the cutting traces remaining on the bracket tie beams of Sungnyemun gate, identifying the tools employed during the late Goryeo to early Joseon periods by specific processes, and deliberating on the timber shaping techniques utilized in advanced architectural construction during the late Goryeo to early Joseon eras. Through the research, it was confirmed that in the production of Sungnyemun Gate's bracket tie beams during the 14th to 15th centuries, both the timber splitting and ripsawing methods were used in conjunction. Moreover, the wood finishing process revealed the use of a plane. It can be inferred that the characteristics of the plane used during that time were not significantly different from those observed in the later period of the Joseon dynasty. The ripsawing and plane finishing techniques were evident in various parts of the bracket tie beams of Sungnyemun gate across the reigns of king Taejo and Sejong, indicating that the techniques involving ripsaw and plane were already prevalent in the late Goryeo period. Consequently, it can be inferred that the ripsawing and plane finishing techniques might have been applied in the construction of prominent government buildings in Hanyang(Seoul), including Gyeongbokgung Palace, and in the residences of royalty and nobility after the establishment of the Joseon dynasty.

금(金, 1115~1234)이 적극적으로 시행했던 관영수공업 체제와 정책에 주목해 금대 동 경(銅鏡)의 새로운 경향과 특징을 고찰하였다. 금에서는 요, 송계로 구분할 수 있는 전통적 인 양식뿐 아니라 이를 바탕으로 폭포, 나무, 암석, 누각 등을 이용해 회화적인 화면구도로 재구성한 금계 동경들이 제작되었다. 원근법과 상하 구도를 적용한 화면 구성이 거울의 한정 된 공간 속에 적용되었고, 마치 한 폭의 그림처럼 선경의 세계를 표현하거나 관폭도와 같이 떨어지는 폭포를 바라보는 장면들이 동경에 표현되었다. 이러한 특징은 12세기 초부터 금의 수도가 세워졌던 상경성 내지(지금의 黑龍江省 阿城 부근)의 관영 공방을 중심으로 제작되 었다. 금 초기부터 관영수공업 체제에서 동경의 주원료인 구리의 원활한 수급을 위해 동경을 제작하였고 동원(銅院), 경자국(鏡子局), 주경소(鑄鏡所)와 같은 관서를 별도로 조직해 체 계적으로 동경을 제작 및 관리하는 정책을 시행하였다. 한편 중앙관청 중에도 공예품의 제작 과 장인의 운영을 담당했던 소부감과 관련이 있고, 그중에서도 금속공예품의 도안을 담당했 던 도화서 소속의 장인과도 관련이 있을 것으로 파악되었다. 금 정부는 실력 있는 외부 장인 들을 정책적으로 상경성에 집중시켰다. 여진의 토착문화와 기타 여러 민족의 외래문화가 상 경성 내지를 중심으로 흡수 및 통합되면서 금만의 새로운 동경들이 제작될 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the production of jackets with high fit by comparing and analyzing the adhesive and non-adhesive production methods of men's jackets. An analysis of the manufacturing method showcased differences between the adhesive and non-adhesive manufacturing methods in the cutting and wick attachment method, the shape and attachment method of the chest reinforcing wick, the sleeve attachment method, and the shoulder pad and sleeve reinforcing cloth attachment method. In evaluating the outfit, the overall fit of the shoulder, the fit of the chest, and the fit of the armpit were found to be high in the non-adhesive production method. In evaluating appearance evaluation, the front shoulder, chest, and sleeve overall appearance showed a high non-adhesive production method. Therefore, in order to increase the wearability of the shoulder pad and the the attachment method of the upper sleeve reinforcing cloth, the non-adhesive production method should be used, and in order to increase the overall wearability and armpit wear of the chest, the difference in the attachment method, and the reinforcement method of the armhole should be used. In addition, to increase the appearance of the jacket, non-adhesive production methods such as differences in wick attachment methods, shoulder pads, sleeve reinforcing cloth, and sleeve attachment methods should be used.

Recently, there has been an increasing attempt to replace defect detection inspections in the manufacturing industry using deep learning techniques. However, obtaining substantial high-quality labeled data to enhance the performance of deep learning models entails economic and temporal constraints. As a solution for this problem, semi-supervised learning, using a limited amount of labeled data, has been gaining traction. This study assesses the effectiveness of semi-supervised learning in the defect detection process of manufacturing using the MixMatch algorithm. The MixMatch algorithm incorporates three dominant paradigms in the semi-supervised field: Consistency regularization, Entropy minimization, and Generic regularization. The performance of semi-supervised learning based on the MixMatch algorithm was compared with that of supervised learning using defect image data from the metal casting process. For the experiments, the ratio of labeled data was adjusted to 5%, 10%, 25%, and 50% of the total data. At a labeled data ratio of 5%, semi-supervised learning achieved a classification accuracy of 90.19%, outperforming supervised learning by approximately 22%p. At a 10% ratio, it surpassed supervised learning by around 8%p, achieving a 92.89% accuracy. These results demonstrate that semi-supervised learning can achieve significant outcomes even with a very limited amount of labeled data, suggesting its invaluable application in real-world research and industrial settings where labeled data is limited.

Mid-sized manufacturing companies, which account for 0.7%(5,480 companies), 13.8%(1.169 million persons) of total employment, and 15.7% of total sales, have recently experienced a lot of difficulties in management activities due to the impact of COVID-19, the U.S.-China trade war, and the collapse of global supply chains. To overcome this, revitalization of quality management activities to strengthen corporate competitiveness is emerging as an urgent task. In order for these quality management activities to achieve their intended purpose, the positive leadership of corporate managers is very important above all else. There have been many studies related to positive leadership, but most have focused on charismatic leadership and transformational leadership centered on large companies or small and medium-sized enterprises. Therefore, this study aims to present ways to strengthen the leadership of managers by empirically analyzing how the positive leadership of managers of mid-sized manufacturing companies, which was relatively under-researched, affects quality management activities and Business performance(Balanced Score Card; BSC).

Carbon black is a material in the form of fine black powder obtained by incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of hydrocarbons, and is composed of 90-99% carbon, and the rest is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. In the event of an emergency during the manufacture of carbon black, the generated tail gas should be safely discharged through an emergency line to prevent fire, explosion, and environmental pollution accidents caused by the tail gas. If the pressure continues to rise, the pressure control valve shall operate and the rupture plate shall be ruptured sequentially and the tail gas shall be discharged to the vent stack through the emergency line. As an emergency emission system, even if some untreated substances in the tail gas are released into the atmosphere, they are lighter than air, so it is safe to discharge them to a safe place through the Vent Stack. If the gas pressure is rising or worse, it is discharged from the Vent Stackine, and discharging fuel.

이 연구는 식품제조업과 음료제조업에 속한 1,045개의 기업에 대한 재무제표 패널자료를 이용하여 한계기업으로의 전락에 영향을 주는 요인을 분석하였다. 한계기업의 식별 기준으로 이자보상배율이 3년 연속 1보다 작을 경우를 선택하였다. 패널 프로빗 모형의 추정 결과에 따르면, 개별 기업의 성장성 하락은 한계기업으로 전락할 확률을 높이는 반면, 수익성이나 활동성 지표의 상승은 한계기업으로 전락할 확률을 유의미하게 낮추는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 타인자본 비중이 늘어나거나 또는 차입금의존도가 높은 기업일수록, 한계기업으로 전락할 확률이 높았다. 기업의 유동성 또한 한계기업으로의 전락 확률에 유의미한 영향을 주었다. 기업 규모도 한계기업 여부와 연관되었는데, 소기업이 대기업에 비해 한계기업으로 전락할 확률이 상대적으로 높았다.

This study selected two labor-intensive processes in harsh environments among domestic food production processes. It analyzed their improvement effectiveness using 3-dimensional (3D) simulation. The selected processes were the “frozen storage source transfer and dismantling process” (Case 1) and the “heavily loaded box transfer process” (Case 2). The layout, process sequence, man-hours, and output of each process were measured during a visit to a real food manufacturing factory. Based on the data measured, the 3D simulation model was visually analyzed to evaluate the operational processes. The number of workers, work rate, and throughput were also used as comparison and verification indicators before and after the improvement. The throughput of Case 1 and Case 2 increased by 44.8% and 69.7%, respectively, compared to the previous one, while the utilization rate showed high values despite the decrease, confirming that the actual selected process alone is a high-fatigue and high-risk process for workers. As a result of this study, it was determined that 3D simulation can provide a visual comparison to assess whether the actual process improvement has been accurately designed and implemented. Additionally, it was confirmed that preliminary verification of the process improvement is achievable.

Despite its advantages such as safety, unnecessary pretreatment, and decontamination of waste with complex geometry, conventional ultrasonic decontamination technology has been only used to remove loose contaminants, oil and grease, not fixed contaminants due to the limitations in increasing the intensity in the high frequency range. Thus, ultrasound has been used as an auxiliary method to accelerate chemical decontamination of radioactive wastes or chemicals were added to the solution to increase the decontamination efficiency. The recently developed high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) decontamination technology overcomes these limitations by combining multiple frequencies of ultrasonic waves in a specific arrangement, making it possible to remove most fixed contaminants, including radioactive micro particles less than 1 micrometer within half an hour. KEPCO NF and EnesG developed mobile HIFU decontamination equipment and successfully demonstrated the decontamination effect on various radionuclides found in nuclear power plants by treating radioactive metal waste to the level below free release criteria. The mobile HIFU decontamination equipment used in the demonstration can be operated anywhere where water is supplied, including controlled area in nuclear power plants, and is expected to be used widely for decontamination and free release of metal radioactive wastes.

Due to the necessity of isolating spent nuclear fuel (SNF) from the human life zone for a minimum of 106 years, deep geological disposal (DGD) has emerged as a prominent solution for SNF management in numerous countries. Consequently, the resilience of disposal canisters to corrosion over such an extended storage period becomes paramount. While copper exhibits a relatively low corrosion rate, typically measured in millimeters per million years, in geological environment, special attention must be directed towards verifying the corrosion resistance of copper canister welds. This validation becomes inevitable during the sealing of the disposal canister once SNFs are loaded, primarily because the weld zone presents a discontinuous microstructure, which can accelerate both uniform and localized corrosion processes. In this research, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the microstructural characteristics of copper welds manufactured by TIG-based wire are additive manufacturing, which is ideal for welding relatively large structures such as a disposal canister. To simulate the welds of copper canister, a 12 mm thick oxygen-free plate was prepared and Y and V grooves were applied to perform overlay welding. Both copper welding zones were very uniform, with negligible defects (i.e., void and cracks), and contained relatively large grains with columnar structure regardless of groove types. For improving microstructures at welds with better corrosion resistance, the effect of preheat temperature also investigated up to 600°C.

Currently, Korea is considering a disposal system based on Sweden’s KBS-3 model to dispose of high-level waste. The disposal system uses a multi-barrier concept to protect high-level waste with canister, buffer, backfill, and natural rock. In Korea, copper and iron are being considered for external and internal canisters, and bentonite is being considered as a buffer material. This is a similar choice to many overseas disposal systems. However, unlike the rolling, extrusion, and forging manufacturing methods being considered overseas for manufacturing external canister, domestic research is currently underway on manufacturing external copper canister using cold spray coating. The canister manufacturing method may vary depending on unit cost and manufacturing convenience. However, the properties of metal vary slightly depending on the manufacturing method of the metal. In this case, the characteristics of the canister may vary slightly depending on the canister manufacturing method, and eventually the corrosion resistance may also vary slightly. In order to understand how the copper canister manufacturing method affects corrosion resistance, corrosion rates were calculated and compared through electrochemical corrosion experiments at domestic groundwater ion concentration.

On a global scale, the storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) within nuclear power plants (NPP) has become an important research topic due to limited space caused by approaching capacity saturation. SNF have e been collected over decades of NPP operation, coming up to capacity limitation. In case of Korea, every reactor except Saeul 1 and 2 has reached a SNF storage saturation rate of over 75%. One of the most studied methods for enhancing storage capacity efficiency involves increasing storage density using racks with neutron absorbers. Neutron absorbers like borated stainless steel (BSS) are utilized to manage the reactivity of densely stored SNF. However, major challenges of applying BSS are manufacturing hardness from heterogenous microstructure and mechanical property degradation from helium bubble formation. This study suggests that innovative fabrication methods of 3D printing can be good candidate for easier fabrication and better structural integrity of BSS. Directed energy deposition (DED), one of the 3D printing methods have become major candidate method for various alloys. It deposits alloy powder on base melt surface by high intensity laser, similar with welding process. Powder manufacturing is already demonstrated superior performance compared to casting in ASTM-A887, such as increased mechanical properties, owing to its well distributed chemistry of alloy. Moreover, as its original microstructural property, the formation of micro-pores through DED could lead to long-term performance improvements by capturing helium generated from the neutron absorption of boron. The potential for fabricating complex structure is also among the advantages of DED-produced neutron absorbers. Expected challenge on DED application on BSS is lack of printing condition data, because the 3D printing process have to be kept very careful variables of thermal intensity, powder flux and etc. These processes may get through much of trial & error for initial condition approaching. Nonetheless, as a recommendation of improved neutron absorber for efficient SNF pool storage, the concept of 3D printed BSS stands out as an intriguing avenue for research.
