This study was conducted to develop and evaluate a web-based infection prevention education program for children, parents and teachers. Research for development of the web-based education program was completed in four phases (analysis, design, development, and evaluation) from 1 February 2015 to 5 October 2015, and the completed website was named CHILD4HEALTH (http://uwcms.pusan.ac.kr). Educational contents pertaining to infection prevention were composed of three sections, children, parents and teachers. Subjects were divided into nine categories, animation, children's dictionary, with mom, music, games, quizzes, educational contents for parents, educational contents for teachers, school newsletters, and handouts. Six characters were developed to increase interest and educational effect. Program evaluation items comprised the website, reliability, and satisfaction. Website evaluation by parents revealed that ease of use was $3.77{\pm}0.70$, entertainment value was $4.07{\pm}0.27$, childproof was $3.82{\pm}0.67$, education value was $4.02{\pm}0.75$, and design features were rated $3.65{\pm}0.53$. According to teachers, ease of use was $3.98{\pm}0.37$, entertainment value was $4.00{\pm}0.17$, childproof was $4.34{\pm}0.60$, education value was $4.00{\pm}0.20$, and design features were $3.81{\pm}0.56$. Parents scored reliability and satisfaction as $8.33{\pm}0.62$ and $7.80{\pm}0.77$, respectively, while they were scored as $8.50{\pm}0.73$ and $8.10{\pm}0.74$ by teachers. Based on the results of this study, the developed web-based education program will help prevent infectious disease and facilitate development of future education programs regarding such diseases.

This study is aimed to evaluate the effects of community-based prehabilitation program developed to prevent functional decline in the frail elderly and to provide a basis to practically operate this program in the public health care service. From March to August 2009, 110 frail elderly people were recruited among the registered participants of the home visit program in Korea to perform a prospective randomized community trial. We randomly assigned these people into two groups. One group (n=50) participated in the visiting prehabilitation program for 3 months focusing on improving their muscle strength of upper and lower limbs, walking ability, and balancing. The other group (n=60) underwent our visiting fall prevention program for control. To assess the effectiveness of prehabilitation program, physical functioning (PF) and short physical performance battery (SPPB) were measured for the primary outcomes and also some other indicators: exercise performance, nutritional status, emotional functioning, experience of admission, and events of fall. As a result, significant improvements of geriatric functional status were noticed among the participants. After 3 months, PF increased by 1.3 ± 3.8 points in prehabilitation group and decreased by 1.1 ± 5.4 points in controls (p=.020). SPPB improved by 2.4 ± 2.0 points in prehabilitation group and increased only 0.3 ± 1.5 points in controls (p<.001). Significant effects were also shown in their exercise performance tests and emotional status, the number of multiple falls, and the experience of functional decline after the fall (p .002-.038). Visiting prehabilitation program is safe and effective program for frail older adults. Thus, it is strongly recommended to universally adopt this program to prevent functional decline in the frail elderly.

양식 생물의 질병 제어는 예방과 치료를 통해 이루어진다. 그러나 항생제의 오ㆍ남용으로 인하여 약제 내성균의 증가와 치료 효과가 감소하고, 나아가 식품안전성 문제로 양식생물의 소비를 위축시켜왔다. 따라서 질병이 발생한 후에 시행하는 화학약품 치료법은 이미 한계에 달하였다. 이에 따라 사전에 질병을 차단하는 예방법인 vaccine이나 질병에 대한 저항능력을 키우는 비특이적 면역 증강물질에 대한 관심이 꾸준히 높아지고 있다. 해조류에는 다량의 lectin이 포함되어 있는데, Lectin은 당에 결합하는 단백질의 총체적인 이름으로, defence molecule로 작용하여 어류가 섭취할 경우 외래 항원으로 인식하여 지속적으로 면역 기능을 활성화시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 돌돔사료에 kelf meal을 첨가하여 공급한 후 이들의 성장과 비특이적 면역기구에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 실험사료는 상업용 kelf meal을 0%, 2%, 5% 첨가하고, 2반복으로 500L FRP 탱크에서 8주간 사육하였다. 실험어류는 40g 내외의 돌돔을 대상으로 하였고, 사료공급 4주 및 8주에 각 실험구의 돌돔을 대상으로 비특이적 면역기구에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 체액성 면역 조사로는 혈청 및 점액 lysozyme 활성과 Escherichia coli에 대한 혈청 내 보체의 살균 능력을 조사하였고, 세포성 면역 조사는 전신 식세포의 NBT 환원 실험과 말초혈액의 식세포 식균능을 측정하였다. 식균능 시험은 Escherichia coli FKC (formalin killed cell)에 대한 식균율 및 식균지수로 나타내었다. 나아가 돌돔 말초혈액의 혈구조성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 적혈구 5,000 세포당 임파구, 전구, 호중구의 수를 계수하였다. 8주간의 사육결과 사료계수는 각각 1.20, 1.25, 1.42로 대조구와 2% 첨가구는 큰 차이가 없었으나, 5% 첨가구는 나빠지는 경향을 보였다. 사료섭취량은 kelf meal의 첨가량이 늘어나면서 감소하는 경향이었다. 비특이적인 면역 기구에 대한 자극 효과는 체액성 면역의 지표로 측정한 lysozyme의 활성도는 혈청과 점액 모두에서 대조구보다 실험구에서 활성이 높았고, 혈청 lysozyme 활성은 5% 첨가구에서 가장 높았다. 혈청 내 보체의 살균능은 실험구간 차이가 없었다. 세포성 면역의 지표로 측정한 전신 식세포의 $O_2$ 생성능(NBT 환원능)은 5% 첨가구에서 가장 높았다. 말초 혈액의 식균능은 식균율과 식균지수 모두 실험구에서 높았고, 특히 5% 첨가구에서 가장 높았다. 말초 혈액 혈구조성의 변화는 임파구와 전구의 경우 실험구에서 높았으나 호중구에서는 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과, 양식 돌돔에 kelf meal을 2% 첨가하는 것이 사료계수에 큰 영향을 미치지 않고, 돌돔의 체액성 및 세포성 면역을 적절히 자극하는 것으로 나타나, 돌돔의 기능성 사료 첨가물로서 이용 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

As interest in social safety has recently increased at the national level, the various activities which can effectively prevent crimes are being carried out. Because the existing maps related to crimes provide the information about the present condition of crimes by administrative district for users, women and pedestrians who go by night could not actually grasp safe roads in advance. Therefore, this study developed the methodology that can easily extract dangerous areas due to crimes by the digital map 2.0. In the digital map 2.0, location and attribute information of center-lines of roads and building layers were used to find dangerous areas of crimes in these layers. Pavement materials and road width which are already built by the attribute information were used in the center-lines of roads. Crossing angles that roads and roads cross each other were additionally extracted and utilized. The attribute information about building types were input in the building layers of the digital map 2.0. The areas that are more the threshold values set by totaling up all the risk scores when considering pavement materials, road width, crossing angles of road, and building types in the center-lines of roads and road crossings were extracted as the dangerous areas that crimes can occur. Verification of the developed methodology was done by experiment. In the spatial apsect, the dangerous areas of crimes could be found by using the digital 2.0, roads, and building layers only through the experiment. In the administrative aspect to prevent crimes, additional installation of safety facilities such as street lights and security lights in the identified areas which are vulnerable for crimes is thought to be increasing safety of dangerous areas.

Environmental policies and industry practices have recently seen a gradual paradigm shift from reactive management to proactive prevention of environmental impacts. Accordingly, preventive conservation policies are carried out to address the increasing value of protecting soils and soil functions as resources are limited. To propose a direction for future soil erosion research, we analyzed domestic and international research trends of soil erosion, based on journal papers retrieved from the Web of Science databases over the last decade, using VOSviewer for keyword co-occurrence analysis. The results showed that the number of publications on soil erosion per land area in Korea ranked high worldwide. In particular, studies on the soil erosion control were found to account for a more significant proportion than other countries. The active ongoing studies on soil erosion in Korea indicate that the country has recognized the severity of soil erosion resulting from climate, topography, and land use. However, the number of keywords found in the studies on the soil erosion control in Korea was relatively smaller than those found at the international level, indicating the need to diversify and expand the study subjects. In particular, studies on the soil erosion process and the related physical and chemical soil properties are necessary to find the fundamental solutions to soil erosion problems.

Recently, with the development of advanced medical technology and the introduction of most advanced medical equipments, life expectancy increases accordingly. Many people want to live long-lived in health. Therefore, if it is possible to pre-diagnose the sub-health condition and formulate an appropriate treatment plan, we can prevent the disease and reduce social expenditure costs. In this study, we statistically analyzed the data in responding to each questionnaire for healthy biorhythm and sub-health among targeted members of a specific group. The analysis for the effects of healthy biorhythm to male and female showed that there was a significant difference between male and female. In the analysis of the effects of the conditions of healthy biorhythm to the 10 sub-health indicators, the significant effects of good and bad condition has been observed. The results of the decision tree analysis showed that all the respondents with poor hormone and urological sub-health status have bad healthy biorhythms. In summary, in this paper we have shown that it may be possible to improve the sub-health condition and prevent disease in advance if the healthy biorhythm is well controlled.

The international community has done a lot of effort to improve the aviation safety. The new high technologies, systems and development of navigation equipments considerably improved the level of aviation safety. However, the aviation accident rate has been showing unchanged status without the decline since 1980. It means it is difficult to secure enough safety by the existing efforts to improve the aviation safety, eventually needs new methods for the accident prevention. With this in mind, the nations interest new methods that can consider a countermeasure by realizing potential risk factors before fatal accidents. In other words, that is to analyze and share the safety information collected from accidents by establishing aviation safety information system. To establish international aviation safety information system, each country's aviation accident incident reporting systems are need to be established. Also aviation safety data taxonomy is need to be standardized. Then, aviation users will communicate the information efficiently. This study investigates and considers each country's aviation accident incident database taxonomy for the analysis of the aviation data and the necessary prevention activity. This will contribute to a better international aviation safety and strengthen the country's aviation diplomacy.

We estimated the global inflow and stock of plastic marine debris. In South Korea, we estimated that the annual inflow of plastic marine debris (72,956 tons) was about 1.4% of annual plastics consumption (5.2 million tons) in 2012. By applying this 1.4% ratio to global plastics production from 1950 to 2013, we estimated that 4.2 million tons of plastic debris entered the ocean in 2013 and that there is a stock of 86 million tons of plastic marine debris as of the end of 2013, assuming zero outflow. In addition, with a logistic model, if 4% of petroleum is turned into plastics, the final stock of plastic marine debris shall be 199 million tons at the end. As the inflow and the stock are different units of measurement, better indicators to assess the effectiveness of inflow-reducing policies are needed. And, as the pollution from plastic marine debris is almost irreversible, countermeasures to prevent it should be valued more, and stronger preventive measures should be taken under the precautionary principle. As this is a preliminary study based on limited information, further research is needed to clarify the tendency of inflow and stock of plastic marine debris.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new security orchestration service model by combining various security solutions that have been introduced and operated individually as a basis for cyber security framework. At present, in order to respond to various and intelligent cyber attacks, various single security devices and SIEM and AI solutions that integrate and manage them have been built. In addition, a cyber security framework and a security control center were opened for systematic prevention and response. However, due to the document-oriented cybersecurity framework and limited security personnel, the reality is that it is difficult to escape from the control form of fragmentary infringement response of important detection events of TMS / IPS. To improve these problems, based on the model of this paper, select the targets to be protected through work characteristics and vulnerable asset identification, and then collect logs with SIEM. Based on asset information, we established proactive methods and three detection strategies through threat information. AI and SIEM are used to quickly determine whether an attack has occurred, and an automatic blocking function is linked to the firewall and IPS. In addition, through the automatic learning of TMS / IPS detection events through machine learning supervised learning, we improved the efficiency of control work and established a threat hunting work system centered on big data analysis through machine learning unsupervised learning results.
