The optimization of man–machine systems is a critical component in the research and development of products but it has been a struggle to improve the optimization accuracy. This study presents an ergonomic optimization method driven by a posture load regulatory network (PLRN). Considering that the differences in work-related musculoskeletal disorders are caused by different occupations, human body part data collection is completed using the deconstructions of man–machine task sequences, which applies in partial theory of the complex network to build the PLRN model. Then the approach connects the human body part data with the regulatory network to calculate the cumulative load tendency and the performance of the load group; results of the analysis provide support for the ranking of human body part loads. In addition, we derive the mapping relationship between the man–machine workload and product engineering modules based on the quality function deployment theory, which can reflect the man–machine system problems of products and assist designers in optimizing and making decisions in man–machine systems. To this end, this paper provides a case study research for evaluating the feasibility of the PLRN simulation optimization method. Results show that our method is capable of explaining the change and the predicting the tendency of human load during the man–machine operation. Compared with the traditional subjective analytic hierarchy process, the PLRN simulation optimization method provides more accurate and objective evaluation on product ergonomics, and new research opportunities on ergonomic optimization.

Studies in Cognitive Linguistics show that metaphors are fundamental to the structuring of people’s thought and language (Sweetser 1990; Kövecses 2009). It is against this backdrop that this study discusses human body parts as metaphors of conceptualizing love in Gĩkũyũ. To achieve this objective, an interview schedule was administered to 48 respondents of different gender by the researcher assisted by four research assistants. The Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and the main principles of the Metaphor Identification Procedure Vrije Universiteit (MIPVU) (see Steen et al. 2010) were used in this study. The principles of the MIPVU were employed to find out whether the lexical items collected were metaphorical or not. Using three annotators and the researcher, the study identified 100 Metaphor Related Words (MRWs) as per the annotation guidelines adapted from the MIPVU procedures and three lexical units which were annotated as Discard From Metaphor Analysis (DFMA). From the MRWs, the study identified eight metaphors of human body parts which play an indispensable role in the conceptualization of love in Gĩkũyũ. Further, the study noted that gender is a vital variable that provides people with the prism through which they view love since males registered more lexical frequencies for LOVE IS A HUMAN BODY PART than females. The study concludes that metaphor in Cognitive Linguistics is not only a creative device, but an important mental facility and cognitive instrument.

Human Body Part

When studying anatomy, it is very important for the practitioner to see the cadaver body part that being studied. By analyzing the cadaver body part, we can learn important parts of the human body. But the cadaver can only be used temporarily during the lab. Other problems such as the small number of cadaver body parts or even the unavailability of desired body parts also commonly appear. One of the solution to this problem is to make an illustration of the desired body part. By illustrating these human body part, the practitioner can also understand the location and structure of the human body part. In illustrating human body part, there are also several techniques that the practitioner needs to know. By understanding that illustration techniques, the practitioner can find out the most effective illustration techniques for studying human body part.
