This study investigates the relationship between controllability, severity, unrealistic optimism and risk perception of risk factors related to location - based SNS services for smartphone users. For this purpose, I surveyed university students who had experience using location - based SNS service. The main results are as follows. First, controllability has a statistically significant effect on unrealistic optimism. Second, Severity had a statistically significant negative impact on unrealistic optimism. Third, Controllability did not have a statistically significant effect on risk perception, Fourth, Severity did not have a statistically significant effect on perceived risk. Fifth, Unrealistic optimism had a statistically significant negative impact on perception of risk. The results of this study will contribute to the prevention of privacy incidents and the protection of smartphone users by using location - based SNS service. On the one hand, future research will need to look at the relationship between unrealistic optimism and risk prevention or coping behavior.

This study measured physical characteristics and physical composition of 16 middle-aged obese women using a body composition analyzer. TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C were investigated in order to analyze components of serum liquids. The study also compared changes regarding cardiovascular risk factors before and after a 12-week exercise program by measuring insulin and intensity of TNF-$\alpha$. To examine such changes, the study carried out a 12-week, complex training program for middle-aged obese women who did not regularly exercise. The results of the study were as follows: 1) after 12 weeks of complex training, in changes of physical characteristics, weight, BMI and WHR were significantly reduced. Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure increased, but there were no significant differences; 2) after 12 weeks of complex training, in changes of physical composition, body fat mass and body fat rate were significantly reduced and fat free mass was significantly increased; 3) after 12 weeks of complex training, in changes of serum liquids, TC, TG and LDL-C were significantly reduced. HDL-C increased, but this was not statistically significant; 4) after 12 weeks of complex training, in changes of cardiovascular risk factors, insulin and TNF-$\alpha$ were significantly reduced.

Natech risk is a type of complex disasters that natural hazards trigger technological disaster or industrial accidents. Research on Natech risk has been started from the mid-1990s in European countries and the Unites States, and drawn much more attention after the Fukushima nuclear accident caused by the 2011 East Japan earthquake. While early studies on Natech risk have focused on the causal natural hazards and possibility to occur, and the resulting spill of hazardous materials from the perspective of science and engineering, the recent research interests lie on effective Natech risk management. Especially, emphasizing the difference of Natech risk management from traditional disaster management, issues of uncertainty management, integration between natural disaster and technological disaster, and responsibility, has been drawn attention. In Korea, Natech risk has not been introduced as a research topic. Although some regulatory improvements have been made in nuclear safety and chemical Substance management after the Fukushima disaster, the potential impact of natural hazards in these areas has not been considered yet. It is necessary to raise the issues of Natech risk management in research and policy areas through active discussion and interdisciplinary approaches.

The primary purpose of this research is to develop and test a model that explains the process of how In-store experiences (physical environmental quality, personal interaction, product experience) through perceived risks and brand attitude influence purchase intention. Perceived risks and brand attitude are proposed as mediators that make a significant impact on purchase intention. Through structural equation modeling using 235 consumers who visited the experience store in IT Industry, we find that In-store experiences influence perceived risks, brand attitude and then enhance purchase intention. Thus, IT companies should make every effort to create In-store value for visited consumers. Based on these results, managerial implications for experience store operation and marketing strategy are discussed. Finally, limitation for this research and further research issues are suggested.

This study was conducted to detect metabolic syndrome risk factors and gender difference in adults. 18,616 cases of adults are collected by Korea Health and Nutrition Examination Study from 2016 to 2019. Using 4 types of machine Learning(Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest) to predict Metabolic Syndrome. The results showed that the Random Forest was superior to other methods in men and women. In both of participants, BMI, diet(fat, vitamin C, vitamin A, protein, energy intake), number of underlying chronic disease and age were the upper importance. In women, education level, menarche age, menopause was additional upper importance and age, number of underlying chronic disease were more powerful importance than men. Future study have to verify various strategy to prevent metabolic syndrome.

현재 전세계 에이즈 전문가들은 아프리카 대륙에 이어 아시아를 제2의 에이즈 위험지역이라 선포하며 에이즈 확산에 대해 우려의 눈길을 보내고 있다. 아시아 성인의 에이즈 유병률은 $0.4\%$ 정도로 낮은 편이지만 감염인구가 많아 에이즈 급증에 대한 불안이 항상 존재하고 있다. 또한, 저개발국가나 개발도상국들이 많아 가난, 성불평등, 사회적 편견 등과 같은 사회적 현안이 에이즈 문제와 복합적으로 얽혀 있다. 하지만 이러한 위험요소가 존재함에도 불구하고 아시아의 미래는 낮은 유병률로 인해 어둡지만은 않다. 아시아의 국가들이 현재 어떤 정책과 조치를 취하느냐에 따라 아시아의 향후 에이즈 전망은 달라질 것으로 보인다.

충북단양군 영춘면 휴석동 지역에 위치한 위험사면은 1972년 456mm의 집중강우에 의해 사면붕괴가 발생하여 가옥 2채붕괴 등의 피해를 유발시켰으며, 지속적인 지반침하가 진행되고 있다. 남한강 하류에 접하고 있는 상기의 위험사면은 산사태에 의한 토사의 이동시 남한강을 덮치게 되어 그 유로의 변화를 일으켜 영춘면의 지역의 침수피해의 대규모의 재해를 일으킬 수 있는 위험성이 내재되어 있다. 본 연구는 상기 위험사면에 대한 지반조사, 지하수 특성 조사 등을 통해 붕적토 사면의 안정해석을 수행하여 최적의 조강 대책안을 제시하고 이에 따른 재해 예방을 도모하고자 한다. 보강대책을 붕적토 사면의 거동특성과 위험사면의 지형적 특성 등을 고려하여 집수정, 수평배수공, 앵커공 및 보강토 옹벽의 복합공법에 의해 위험사면의 안정성을 확보하는 방안을 제안하였다.

Recently as the ultrasonography became generalized, the annual change rate of the incidence of thyroid cancer extraordinarily grew to 24.5% in Korea. Therefore, the aim of this study was performed to identify the risk factors of thyroid cancer apart from conventional risk factors of dietary iodine and ionizing radiation. In this retrospective study, 411 patients underwent fine-needle aspiration biopsy were examined from January 2011 to March 2013. The subjects are divided into two groups which are 260 patients with benign nodule and 151 patients with malignancy nodule. We compared age, hematologic values, body mass index, waist circumference, menopausal status, breast nodules status, uterine myoma status, fatty liver status of targeted group of patients. According to the result, in thyroid cancer group with obesity, the number of case of breast nodules and myoma was higher, and their thyroid stimulating hormone values was higher than the benign nodule group. In order to establish factors influencing thyroid and thyroid cancer, there is a definite need for continuous study.

This study empirically analyzes the comparative advantages between separate hedging and complex hedging in terms of hedging effectiveness when there exist multiple risks of LNG price and exchange rate. According to the empirical ex-ante analysis, the mean of procurement costs could be reduced through hedging regardless of hedging type. In addition, the standard deviation of procurement costs could also be reduced by way of hedging, implying that a hedging should contribute to the stabilization of revenue flows. More importantly, complex hedging could be more effective for some hedging periods than separate hedging in terms of revenue stabilization. Therefore, one could verify that the hedging effects improve by making use of the variance-covariance relationship existing between commodity price and exchange rate.

고층빌딩, 지하역사와 같은 대형 복합건물은 건물 자체의 복합도 증가와 더불어 이에 따른 위험요소(hazard)의 증가를 가져오고 위험상황에 대처해야 할 소방관들의 대응기술 및 훈련도 고도화되어야 한다. 실제 화재현장, 특히 대형 복합건물에 대한 훈련은 비용, 시간뿐만 아니라 소방관 안전 확보라는 차원에서 불가능하며 반복적인 훈련이나 그 평가가 어렵다는 점에서 가상환경을 이용한 훈련 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 복합건물에 대한 소방관 팀 훈련 시스템 구현을 위한 가상환경의 설계 및 구현을 소개하고자 한다. 가상환경은 소방관의 훈련 및 평가, 팀 단위훈련을 제공하고 현실감 있는 훈련을 위하여 가상현실, 증강현실, 물리체험 모듈을 이용한 사용자 인터페이스를 제공한다. 가상환경 구축을 위하여 대상 건축물에 대한 3 차원 모델을 구축하고 도출된 발생 가능한 화재 시나리오에 대한 수치적 모델링을 수행하고 그 결과를 가상환경 및 훈련 시나리오에 반영하였다.
