Objective: By examining and organizing existing research in the Journal of the Korean Society for Ergonomics on User Interface (UI), which is an important field in ergonomics, the content of UI research in the Journal of the Korean Society for Ergonomics is investigated and analyzed. We would like to present the basic data for the future UI research. Background: The term UI includes User, so UI-related research has been actively conducted in ergonomics that naturally deals with human characteristics. So, UIrelated research has been conducted a lot in the Journal of the Korean Society for Ergonomics, an academic journal of the Korean Society for Ergonomics, an orthodox research organization on ergonomics in Korea. However, as of 2022, it is the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Korean Society of Ergonomics, and until 40 years have passed since the publication of the journal, there has not been a systematic investigation of UI field research within the Journal of the Korean Society of Ergonomics. Method: 'UI', 'User Interface', and 'User Interface' were used as keywords to search the literature to be analyzed. The search period was from 1982 to 2021, when volume 1 of the Journal of the Korean Society for Ergonomics was published. As a result, a total of 210 documents were searched from 3 keywords. After deduplication and removal of low-relevance studies, 97 literatures were analyzed according to the purpose of this study. And in the study, the keywords, UI research objects, and UI types related to the study were analyzed. Results: As a keyword, User Interface (UI) was used the most, followed by Usability. UI research objects include Mobile Phone, Smart Phone, and Nuclear Power Plant. As UI types, PUI (Physical UI), Screen UI, Gesture, etc. have been studied a lot. Conclusion: It was possible to derive responses to the three key questions presented in this study. And the meaning of each result could be analyzed by adding the interpretation of the researcher to the representative parts of each result. Application: Comprehensive data on User Interface (UI) research in the Journal of the Korean Society of Ergonomics will be compiled, and it will be fully usable as a reference for future research directions.

김준희,황의재,안선희,곽경태,정성훈,Kim, Jun Hee,Hwang, Ui Jae,Ahn, Sun Hee,Gwak, Gyeong Tae,Jung, Sung Hoon 한국안전학회 2021 한국안전학회지 Vol.36 No.5

This study aimed to analyze the research trends of the abstract data of ergonomic studies registered in MEDLINE, a medical bibliographic database, using word embedding. Medical-related ergonomic studies mainly focus on work-related musculoskeletal disorders, and there are no studies on the analysis of words as data using natural language processing techniques, such as word embedding. In this study, the abstract data of ergonomic studies were extracted with a program written with selenium and BeutifulSoup modules using python. The word embedding of the abstract data was performed using the word2vec model, after which the data found in the abstract were vectorized. The vectorized data were visualized in two dimensions using t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE). The word "ergonomics" and ten of the most frequently used words in the abstract were selected as keywords. The results revealed that the most frequently used words in the abstract of ergonomics studies include "use", "work", and "task". In addition, the t-SNE technique revealed that words, such as "workplace", "design", and "engineering," exhibited the highest relevance to ergonomics. The keywords observed in the abstract of ergonomic studies using t-SNE were classified into four groups. Ergonomics studies registered with MEDLINE have investigated the risk factors associated with workers performing an operation or task using tools, and in this study, ergonomics studies were identified by the relationship between keywords using word embedding. The results of this study will provide useful and diverse insights on future research direction on ergonomic studies.

The aim of ergonomics is at designing and investigating machine or equipment that people can meet with from the aspect of engineering with aligning all features of machines and environments in the matter of safety and easiness. That is, ergonomics helps in improving workers’ environment and safety, and enables to make decision of selecting tools and/or equipments for product production, and finally, plays an important role in improving products’ development costs and/or quality. As information technology advances, many enterprises, colleges and research laboratories are putting information technology to practical use for research of ergonomics. Among many of them, ergonomics simulation has been researched actively on workers’ ergonomic elements and workers’ environments. Also, with the advances of computer technology such as virtual reality and performance of computer graphics, now it is able to conduct an ergonomics simulation with the digital human. However, controlling posture and movement of digital human is a hard job that requires control of its detailed elements that construct the digital human with much efforts, time and expertise knowledge. Therefore, in this paper, automated ergonomics simulation system is developed for controlling digital human easily and with reduced time, costs and expertise knowledge, with Kinect.

Over the past two decades, themes of lean manufacturing and ergonomics have garnered significant attention as are-as of study and integration aimed at enhancing manufacturing processes. An increasing number of companies recog-nize the potential impact of combining ergonomics with lean manufacturing implementation on improving workers' productivity and reducing work -related risks. Yet, there is a scarcity in finding a review whether lean actually improve productivity without endangering ergonomics. This study aims to review the present knowledge about how these sub-ject matters are being applied together to improve company productivity and enhance the health and safety of the workers. With this aim in mind, this paper aims to analyze the qualified published literature dedicated to such issues. It involves a systematic search for studies across several databases, including Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed, Sci-enceDirect, and Web of Science from 2007-2022. The resulted search is narratively described and statistically is pre-sented as supporting data. Twenty-nine studies are collected and further reviewed. Positive outcomes were noted for all ergonomics interventions in lean manufacturing (LM), including productivity and efficiency increase of the com-pany as a whole. Furthermore, the results showed the essentiality of comprehending the implementation needs for each of these concepts. Consequently, more research will be required to focus deeper in to this issue. This review pro-vide evidence that combining ergonomics and LM in integrated manner can greatly boost productivity within the or-ganization while simultaneously reducing workplace risks. Therefore, the study implies an urgency of combined im-plementation of LM and ergonomics in the manufacturing processes. Overall, this paper is valuable for researchers and practitioners in manufacturing environment.

Science communication (SciComm) is a practical activity that maximizes the utility of academic findings, knowledge, and information. This study examined the good practices and future issues of SciComm in the field of ergonomics, in Japan. The first good practice was the establishment of the SciComm Committee in the Japan Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (JES) in 2020. The second was the ErgonomicThon workshop—an ergonomic Ideathon to discuss new ideas regarding the uses of ergonomic findings. The third was the original SciComm program using infographics to promote the use of ergonomic words in social networking service (SNS) communication. The fourth practice was the challenging online fieldwork conducted using the Google Street View. The last practice was the virtual convivial party held at the 62nd conference of JES in 2021. Based on these practices, we suggest the following three future issues of SciComm: (1) promotion of SciComm, beyond times of crisis; (2) development of ergonomic guidelines for SciComm; and, (3) promotion of online SciComm within the information society. This study outlines the importance of sharing good practices and future issues of SciComm that will help spread the movement of the SciComm in the field of ergonomics.
