The currently implemented Positive List System, sales manager training, and pesticide sales record systems focus on the safety of determined pesticide use, but the proposed agrochemical pharmacist (AP) system aims accurate diagnosis and reasonable prescription. In this study, 81% of famers claimed expert assistance for purchasing and applying pesticides, and 42~86% of sales managers insisted on the strengthening expertise in diagnosis and prescription. In the institutionalization of AP, a special implementation guideline is essential to embrace the present sales managers with long experience. Sales managers of commercial and agricultural cooperatives recognize the qualifications of agrochemical pharmacists as a strategy to differentiate themselves from competitors, and increase sales through market positioning of "pesticides prescribed by trustworthy agrochemical pharmacists", not sales managers anymore.

Rut-resistance pavement is adopted to prevent pavement from plastic deformation since 1998. The objective of this paper is to investigate performance and economic efficiency between rut-resistance pavement and conventional hot-mix asphalt(HMA) on national highway. The pavement deterioration models incorporated in HDM-4 have been calibrated and adapted to local road conditions based on observed pavement rut-depth data. Based on calibration result of HDM-4, the economic evaluation including road agency cost and user cost is performed for 34 road pavement sections. Furthermore, we presented optimal timing for maintenance and performance levels subject to different budget. We found that rut-resistance pavement is performing better than conventional hot-mix asphalt in most road sections. Furthermore, we confirmed that the application of HDM-4 is useful for pavement project planning and evaluation. More investigation is needed to enlarge the scope of the pavement data and to explore more deeply socio-environmental cost and delay cost.

This study performed a longitudinal research on the causal relationship between multidimensionality of problem drinking and poverty, and multidimensional deprivation meaning the inequality, focusing on gender difference. For this, this study examined the latent group of problem drinking change trajectory through the latent class growth analysis targeting total 3,770 men and 5,632 women by using the 6th-year Korea Welfare Panel Study data from 2013 to 2018, and then conducted the multinominal logistic regression analysis to verify the influence of multidimensional deprivation factors on this latent group. The main results of this study are as follows. First, the latent group of problem drinking change trajectory according to gender was classified into three latent groups in both men and women while the development aspect was different from each other. The male latent group with 'moderate level' or higher showed higher level of problem drinking than women. However, in case of 'drinking group with high level' according to gender, as time passed, the men tended to maintain it while the women tended to increase it. Second, in the results of examining the effects of multidimensional deprivation on the latent group of problem drinking change trajectory, the men with more experiences of social deprivation and the women with more experiences of social security deprivation showed the higher possibility to belong to the 'drinking group with high level' compared to the 'drinking group with low level'. Based on such results above, this study discussed the preventive/intervention measures for problem drinking according to gender.

This study set its bases needed for building fire risk analysis by examining general concept and definitions of fire risk analysis, and its access methods. Upon this basis, by using a computer program FREM, we brought the type of hazards out of the fire risk assessment applied to the typical 100 high-rise buildings in and out of this country. In this process, we also sorted out the programs arising from the application of a foreign born tool to domestic conditions. the credibility of fire separations and automatic fire protection system in a building would be the two most important things in an attempt to evaluate fire risk in high-rise buildings. In addition, it is vital for the purpose of securing fire safety in high-rise buildings that the systems should be properly installed and carefully maintained. When we try hard to study the evaluation standards to the above systems and, someday in the future, to employ them in evaluating fire risks in high-rise buildings, we can measure the risks much more precisely with less expenses than that we needed today.

The sixty nine accident preparedness substances (APS) having high probability of chemical accident are controlled under the Toxic Chemicals Control Act (TCCA). Around the world, there has been a growing interest in the analysis of chemical warfare agent (CWAs). When a chemical accident occurs, it is generally required to detect and identify APS. However, the quantitative analytical data remain limited in Korea. In this study, an analytical method using GC/MS for volatile organic chemicals was established and a quantitative analysis method was studied. The calibration curve for 25 chemicals were obtained and 21 chemicals showed higher coefficient of determination ($r^2$ >0.998).

Approximately 8.5 million tons of fly ash and 740,000 tons of briquette ash were produced in 2010. Inefficient recycling of coal ash has been a heavy economic and environmental burden and economical coal ash utilization technologies are required to turn coal ash into valuable resources. In this study the patents and literature were analyzed to understand the present situation of coal ash recycling technologies and to promote utilization of coal ash for producing a non-sintering green cement, geopolymer. The survey was based on the open patents of USA, European Union, Japan and Korea, and the papers in SCI - indexed journals published between 1979 and 2013. Technical key words were used for data collection and noise filtering. Trends of recycling technologies in utilization of coal ash for producing geopolymers were discussed in terms of time periods, countries, companies and various forms of technologies.

우리나라는 연 강수량의 약 70%가 6~9월까지의 기간에 집중되어 발생하는 특성을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 특성은 효율적인 수자원 관리에 많은 어려움을 야기하고 있다. 6~9월을 제외한 기간에는 강수량이 부족하여 빈번한 가뭄을 경험하고 있으며, 물 공급의 안정성을 확보하기 위해 많은 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 물 공급의 안정성을 확보하기 위한 노력 중 가장 대표적인 것은 다목적댐 등 저수지를 통한 수자원 확보이며, 우리나라의 경우 우기에 발생한 강수량을 상당 부분 댐 등 저수지에 저류하여 건기에 이를 활용하는 체계를 갖추고 있다. 현재 우리나라에는 18,000 여개의 댐 및 저수지가 건설되어 운영되고 있으며, 이 중 가장 중요한 역할을 수행하고 있는 시설물은 16개의 다목적댐이라 할 수 있다. 다목적댐은 홍수조절, 안정적인 물 공급 등 다양한 기능을 수행하도록 건설된 시설물로 이수 차원에서 가장 중요한 역할은 수자원 확보를 통한 물 부족 피해의 예방이라 할 수 있다. 다목적댐의 용수 공급은 댐의 유효저수용량을 기준으로 이루어지며, 유효저수용량은 총 저수용량에서 홍수조절용량 및 저수(低水)용량을 제외한 양으로 산정된다. 다목적댐의 효율적인 운영은 국가적인 물 안보 차원에서 매우 중요한 의미를 갖고 있으며, 최근 들어 발생하고 있는 기후변화 등을 고려할 경우 그 중요성을 더욱 증가할 것으로 예상할 수 있다. 따라서 가뭄 정도에 따라 다목적댐의 용수공급능력이 어떻게 변화할 것인지에 대한 정보를 정량화하여 제시할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 5대강 유역에서 운영되고 있는 다목적댐을 중심으로 가뭄의 빈도에 따른 용수공급능력 변화를 검토하여 제시하였다. 이를 위해 수자원장기종합계획을 통해 제시된 장래 용수 수요량을 바탕으로 물수지 분석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과에 대한 검토를 통해 가뭄빈도별 다목적댐의 용수공급능력을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 가뭄빈도가 증가할수록 다목적댐의 공급능력은 현저히 낮아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이러한 정보는 향후 수자원계획 수립 및 효과적인 가뭄 대응 계획 수립 시 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Currently, the operation rule of agricultural reservoirs in case of drought events follows the drought forecast warning standard of agricultural water supply. However, it is difficult to preemptively manage drought in individual reservoirs because drought forecasting standards are set according to average reservoir storage ratio such as 70%, 60%, 50%, and 40%. The equal standards based on average water level across the country could not reflect the actual drought situation in the region. In this study, we proposed the improvement of drought operation rule for agricultural reservoirs based on the percentile approach using past water level of each reservoir. The percentile approach is applied to monitor drought conditions and determine drought criteria in the U.S. Drought Monitoring (USDM). We applied the drought operation rule to reservoir storage rate in extreme 2017 spring drought year, the one of the most climatologically driest spring seasons over the 1961-2021 period of record. We counted frequency of each drought criteria which are existing and developed operation rules to compare drought operation rule determining the actual drought conditions during 2016-2017. As a result of comparing the current standard and the percentile standard with SPI6, the percentile standard showed severe-level when SPI6 showed severe drought condition, but the current standard fell short of the results. Results can be used to improve the drought operation criteria of drought events that better reflects the actual drought conditions in agricultural reservoirs.
