This study describes on the level of back pain knowledge from a survey that conducted from November 1, 2013 to January 31, 2014 for 82 cement factory workers at C region in Chung-Buk. The survey results showed that 56.1% of workers experienced back pain. Also the number of back pain of workers increased when workers who subjected more stresses from their works, had been growth in urban area and have not satisfied their given works. The survey also show that workers who subjected back pain once, usually they stopped smoking and reduced drinking, and they willing to take education for back pain-reducing. The worker's level of back pain knowledge was relatively low scores as 56.29 points in the 100-point conversion score, specially back pain associated with the posture were the lowest point of 50 points. Knowledge of back pain, a positive correlation was observed. Finally workers experienced back pain and education of back pain had higher willing to receive the education in the future. However, workers were not obtained the knowledge information on back pain indicated lower scores.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and related risk factors of problem drinking in the Korean adult population. Participants (n=7,867) aged 19 years or older were selected from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [KNHANES] of 2007-2008. Sociodemographic characteristics and AUDIT score were obtained from the KNHANES dataset. AUDIT scores were categorized into three groups, including low risk, intermediate risk, and high-risk alcohol drinking according to WHO guidelines. In this study, the prevalence of high-risk and intermediate-risk alcohol drinking were 12.2% and 21.0%, respectively. Adjusted mean AUDIT score was higher in men, younger individuals, as well as those with lower education levels and those that smoked. Results revealed that demographic variables, including sex, age, education level, and smoking, were important factors affected high-risk drinking. In particular, since smoking was the most significant risk factor, the adjusted odds ratio for high-risk drinking among participants that smoked was 4.78 [(95% confidence interval (CI)=3.75-6.10, p<.0001)]. This study suggests that men, younger age, low educational level, and smoking are the risk factors for a high-risk alcohol drinking.

The chestnut management standard diagnostic table is developed and would be utilized in order that a manager raising chestnuts checks where the own level of management is and grasps current state of own for the purpose of planning aims and advancing toward a higher level. The developed 'Chestnut management standard diagnostic table' consisted of 3 first classified items, 19 second classified items and 2 product indicator items by the chestnut experts consultative meeting. A survey of 212 farmhouses in 4 major producing area was conducted. Except invalid survey of 53 farmers, 159 farmhouses interviewed were used in analysis. Total score was calculated with sum of each item's score. According to the survey results, average score is 68.0 and Buyeo received the highest score of 69.7 and Suncheon received the lowest score of 61.8 by regional groups. The higher the group in score, the better it is in output per hectare. But the property of 'the ratio of the best products in total products' does not show a statistical correlation. Generally the score of 'management-based evaluation indicator part' and 'management and sale capacity indicator part' in Suncheon was low because of many elderly people. In part of 'manufacturing technology indicator' as Environmentally-Friendly production is progressed in over 70% of four regions, when comes to a disease and insect pest control there are rarely farmhouses having a way of crop dusting.

Breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL) is one of the most intractable complications after surgery. Patients suffer from physical impairment, as well as psychological depression. Moreover, a recent study revealed that cellulitis significantly increased the risk of BCRL, and cellulitis has been suggested as a risk factor of BCRL development. We describe a patient treated with stellate ganglion blocks (SGBs) without steroid for relief of symptoms and reduction of the arm circumference of breast cancer-related infectious lymphedema in a month. We measured the arm circumference at four locations; 10 cm and 5 cm above and below the elbow crease, numeric rating scale (NRS) score, lymphedema and breast cancer questionnaire (LBCQ) score on every visit to the pain clinic. A serial decrease of the arm circumference and pain score were observed after second injection. In the middle of the process, cellulitis recurred, we performed successive SGBs to treat infectious lymphedema. The patient was satisfied with the relieved pain and swelling, especially with improved shoulder range of motion as it contributes to better quality of life. This case describes the effects of SGB for infectious BCRL patients. SGB could be an alternative or ancillary treatment for infectious BCRL patients.

In order to get fundamental information for prediction of landslide hazard, both forest and site factors affecting slope stability were investigated in many areas of active landslides. Twelve descriptors were identified and quantified to develop the prediction model by multivariate statistical analysis. The main results obtained could be summarized as follows : The main factors influencing a large scale of landslide were shown in order of precipitation, age group of forest trees, altitude, soil texture, slope gradient, position of slope, vegetation, stream order, vertical slope, bed rock, soil depth and aspect. According to partial correlation coefficient, it was shown in order of age group of forest trees, precipitation, soil texture, bed rock, slope gradient, position of slope, altitude, vertical slope, stream order, vegetation, soil depth and aspect. The main factors influencing a landslide occurrence were shown in order of age group of forest trees, altitude, soil texture, slope gradient, precipitation, vertical slope, stream order, bed rock and soil depth. Two prediction models were developed by magnitude and frequency of landslide. Particularly, a prediction method by magnitude of landslide was changed the score for the convenience of use. If the total store of the various factors mark over 9.1636, it is evaluated as a very dangerous area. The mean score of landslide and non-landslide group was 0.1977 and -0.1977, and variance was 0.1100 and 0.1250, respectively. The boundary value between the two groups related to slope stability was -0.02, and its predicted rate of discrimination was 73%. In the score range of the degree of landslide hazard based on the boundary value of discrimination, class A was 0.3132 over, class B was 0.3132 to -0.1050, class C was -0.1050 to -0.4196, class D was -0.4195 below. The rank of landslide hazard could be divided into classes A, B, C and D by the boundary value. In the number of slope, class A was 68, class B was 115, class C was 65, and class D was 52. The rate of landslide occurrence in class A and class B was shown at the hige prediction of 83%. Therefore, dangerous areas selected by the prediction method of landslide could be mapped for land-use planning and criterion of disaster district. And also, it could be applied to an administration index for disaster prevention.

노후 상수도관의 개량사업이 지속적으로 시행되고 있지만 노후관 개량사업은 경험적 판단에 의존하는 노후관 평가 및 대안의 선정, 사고예방을 위한 대응적 차원의 개량 사업을 실시함으로 인해 경제적 손실은 물론 시스템의 유기적 기능향상이 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 상수관로 중에서 아연도 강관, 도복장 강관, 닥타일 주철관을 선정하여 현장조사를 실시하였으며, 직접 채취된 관체 시편을 대상으로 육안분석, 관체분석, 그리고 토양부식성 등을 평가하여 채취한 관의 노후도를 종합적으로 평가하였다. 기본적으로 노후도 평가를 점수 평가법을 사용하였으며, 평가된 결과를 바탕으로 향후 노후 수도관 개량사업 추진 내용에서 개대체 우선순위를 결정하기 위한 모델을 제안하였다. 상수관로 노후도 영향 인자 및 가중치 추정은 현재 매설된 상수관로의 노후진척도를 평가하기 위한 노후도 예측모형의 기본 요소이며, 모형의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 필수적인 사항이다. 관로 노후진척도 분석의 정확도는 장기간의 자료 수집을 통하여 이루어져 이에 대한 분석이 필요하며, 대상관로를 이용하여 개발된 제안식은 향후 지속적으로 현장조사를 실시하여 보완이 필요하겠지만, 노후수도관의 개량 우선순위를 분석하기 위한 매우 유용한 자료가 될 것으로 판단한다.

Bridge structures are properly designed in accordance with the design specifications with required safety margin. However, due to the heavy vehicle traffic and environmental attacks, bridge often requires repairs and the deteriorated one should be replaced or rehabilitated. In this paper, a prior ranking algorithm is proposed to assist a decision making process in bridge management at network level. Based on the literature survey for the existing studuies, two important factors which affect the decision making procedure for bridge management at network level are identified. These factors are implemented into the algorithm as a load carrying capacity function and traffic function, respectively.

일반적으로 정보화 수준을 측정할 때 많이 사용되는 방법은 산술평균의 개념에 의한 대표값 산출방식이다. 그러나 이는 항목간의 통합문제의 관점에서 각 항목의 정보화 기여도가 무시되고, 급격한 정보화의 구조변화를 적절히 반영하지 못하며, 기본지표의 측정항목이 많아질 경우에는 해당 측정항목이 상대적으로 작은 기여도를 갖는 것으로 나타나는 등 여러 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 새로운 정보화 수준 측정방법을 제안하고 이에 따른 정보화지수의 측정.비교.분석을 통하여 새로운 측정방법을 검증하는 데에 있다. 본 고에서는 서로 상관된 국가정보화 지표들을 결합하여 하나의 가중치를 구하는 인자분석 및 대표성분점수화법 등 세 가지 방법을 이용하여 방법별로 정보화지수를 산출한 결과를 비교.분석하여 보았다. 세 가지 방법들에 의한 가중치 및 지수는 다소 값의 차이를 보이고 있지만 전체적인 추이는 같음을 보았다. 방법 1과 방법 2는 요인분석에 의한 분석 결과로서 가중치나 지수에서 다소의 차이를 보이고 있지만 유사성이 매우 크며, 방법 3에 의한 분석결과는 앞의 방법들과는 가중치 및 지수에서 차이를 보이고 있다. 특히 방법 3은 다른 측정 방법과는 달리 상관성이 높은 변수들에게 가중치를 부여하게 된다. 따라서 방법 1과 방법 2보다 더 객관적으로 각 지표의 가중치를 반영한다고 볼 수 있어 어느 정도 이 방법에 의한 분석이 유의함을 보여주었다.

최근 이상기후현상으로 홍수와 가뭄의 발생 빈도 증가 및 하천유지유량 부족 등 하천에서 유량 변동이 크게 나타나고 하천 환경 변화에 따른 수질오염, 갈수기 수질악화 등 하천에서 다양한 문제들이 발생하고 있다. 수질은 매개변수별 기준 농도와 측정 농도를 비교하여 평가하지만 직독식 측정 항목과 실험실 분석 항목 및 미측정 항목을 포함하기 때문에 수질 상태를 정확하게 나타내기 어렵다. 물리적, 화학적 및 생물학적 특성의 매개변수를 분석하여 수질을 평가하지만, 복잡한 수질 데이터를 단순하고 논리적으로 수질을 요약하기 위해 단일 값으로 매개변수를 통합한 수질지수가 개발되었다. 다양한 국가 및 기관에서 개발된 수질지수는 방법론, 최종산출 방법의 차이로 동일한 지점 및 기간에서 측정되는 자료를 각각의 수질지수 방법론을 적용하였을 때 상이한 점수 및 등급이 발생하여 유역 특성에 적절한 수질지수를 활용하는 것이 필요하며, 유량 변동이 고려되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 수질지수 산정 매개변수를 유역 특성 및 관리기준을 고려하여 매개변수를 수정하고 매개변수별 중요도에 따른 가중치를 재산정하고 유량 인자를 추가하여 복합적인 하천 수질을 종합적으로 평가하고자 한다. 또한, 물리모형과 데이터 모형을 활용하여 기후변화에 따른 수질 변동 평가를 통해 수문학적 변화가 하천 수질에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 한다.

I think it would be better to rewrite the Korean abstract. To analyze the personal characteristics of the participants and identify their perception of violence using the Q methodology, the scores of 20 parenting parents on 25 Q cards were statistically analyzed using forced normal distribution. There are three factors and from the most agreeable to the most disagreeable statements, they have shown their perception of violence. It was helpful in identifying parents' subjective perceptions and types of child abuse, and it suggested the need to define child abuse so that parents can have a correct perception of child abuse, rather than an abstract perception. In this perspective, the results of this study provide preliminary data for improving the recognition of parenting parents on child abuse.
