Coping and defense are similar psychological mechanisms to reduce stress response, but they are regarded as distinct from each other. Defense involved distortions of reality, but coping was used for strategies associated with accepting the true nature of the situation. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the coping and defense features of the North Korean Defectors in the Rorschach test. The subjects were then categorized into four groups based on their birth place and gender: Male North Korean defectors( N=16), female North Korean defectors(N=28), male South Koreans(N=17), and female South Koreans(N=25). All subjects were individually administered the Rorschach test, and protocols were scored according to the Exner(2003)'s Rorschach Comprehensive systems. Coping or defense-related Rorschach variables were selected for analysis: EA, CDI, Adj D, EB style, Lamda, Zd, X-%, Xu%, W:Dd:D, P, reaction time, and other behavior characteristics during the testing. Compared with other groups, female North Korean defectors were more likely to show poor coping resources(low EA), adjustment difficulties(Adj D), and distortions of reality(high X-%). They also demonstrated more 'don't know' responses and more delayed responses than other groups. These findings suggest that poor coping resources make female North Korean defectors more vulnerable to stress, and psychological intervention such as social skills training may help them settle successfully in south Korea. Limitations of the current study and implications for future research were discussed.

화학공장에서 발생되는 중대산업사고(major industrial accident)는 그 영향이 공장내부에만 국한되지 않고 인근 지역의 주민들과 환경에까지 치명적인 영향을 미친다. 이러한 중대산업사고의 원인은 여러 가지가 있을 수 있으나 발열화학 반응공정에서 발생될 수 있는 폭주반응도 그 중 하나이다. 폭주반응에 의한 중대산업사고(major industrial accident)의 대표적인 사례로는 인도의 보팔(Bhopal)에서 methylisocyanate 누출사고와 이탈리아의 세베소(Seveso) 폭발사고를 들 수 있으며 보팔 사고의 경우 사망자수가 2,000명 이상이었고, 20,000명 이상이 부상하였으며, 세베소 사고의 경우 막대한 환경피해를 입혔다.(중략)

산업구조의 급속한 발전과 공업화는 사회구조의 변화 및 대도시로의 인구집 중, 고밀도화, 교통량의 증가를 초래하여 이로부터 기인한 도시지역의 환경 오염 문제는 쾌적한 인간생활을 위협하는 단계에까지 이르렀다. 그중에서 소 음에 관한 문제도 대기 및 수질의 오염과 동시에 도시생활 환경에 많은 영 향을 미치게 되었다. 도시 소음의 주 원인은 주로 도로교통소음이며 이는 기 하급수적으로 늘어가는 자동차의 양에 의해 더욱 심해지고 있다. 따라서 현 재 우리나라에서도 주거지역 및 준주거지역 등의 지역별 소음도 규제 및 신 설되는 공동주택 단지에서의 소음레벨규제등이 있긴 하나 이들은 상당히 소 극적이며 미온적일 뿐 아니라 실제 거주하는 주민들의 반응과는 상당한 차 이를 보이고 있으며 더욱이 주민의 소음에 대한 주관적 반응을 적절히 표현 할 수 있는 지표마저 명확하지 않은 실정이다. 이러한 관점에서 본 고찰에서 는 피험자들의 주관적 반응을 실험할 때 발생하는 변수요인들을 통제 할 수 있는 실험 실시행 청감실험을 실시하기에 앞서 대상지역의 도로교통소음을 여러가지 평가척도에 의해 평가한 후 그 현장에서 이 소음에 노출된 피험자 들의 반응을 파악하여 청취자들이 인지하는 소음레벨을 적절히 평가하는 지 표를 찾고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 차음성능 기준과 평가방법 설정을 위한 기초작업으로 국내 공동주택 바닥구조에 대한 차음성능 실태조사를 실시 차음성능수준을 파악 하고, 주민반응, 주요 내부소음원, 측정방법상의 문제점 등을 고려하여 우리 의 실정에 적합한 평가방법의 설정방향을 모색코자 한다. 본 연구의 결과는 우리나라 공동주택의 독특한 바닥구조인 온돌에 적합한 차음등급의 제정에 필수적인 자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 더 나아가서는 건축물이 차음성능 보장 을 위한 설계 지침으로도 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Rail noise and vibration is one of the major problem for the residents living nearby railway tracks. The rail noise may inflict a considerable damage to physiological, spiritual, mental and discomfort to neighboring peoples. Therefore, residents living nearby railway were appeal many troubles. Nevertheless, in our country, adequate guidelines for the rail noise are not yet established because of the lack of basic data and insufficient research works. In this point, this study attempts to surveys the influence of rail noise in urban area using questionnaire. This study also present a basic data in establishing effective plans for rail noise in the future.

The aim of this study was to determine principal non-acoustical factors for noise annoyance in the vicinity of Kimpo Airport in Seoul, Korea. Noise annoyance was estimated using self-reported annoyance scale. We have conducted a social survey aiming to identify the main sound sources, evaluate the annoyance and analyse the main effects of noise on people. Acoustical and non-acoustical variables are expected to greatly affect annoyance responses. This study divided acoustical variables into aircraft, road traffic and neighboring noises, and non-acoustical variables into demographic, situational and attitudinal variables. The study performed multiple regression analysis to determine the influences each variable has on annoyance responses. Acoustical variables affect noise annoyance to aircraft and neighboring noise except road traffic noise. For road traffic and neighboring noise annoyance was affected by non-acoustical variable, insulation by housing type. For aircraft noise, main noise source of this area, annoyance was affected by acoustical variable and some non-acoustical variables, mainly exposure time.

In this study, a formula was derived to calculate the damage impact distance using the Chemical Accident Response Information System (CARIS) so that local governments can decide on the evacuation and notification of 13 types of substances. The National Institute of Chemical Safety selected 16 out of 97 types of accident preparedness substances in 2018 and called them residents' evacuation preparedness substances. In a chemical accident, local governments should prepare for resident notification, such as emergency disaster texts. Using the CARIS in Chungju, this study modeled the damage-affected distances of 13 types of substances for the evacuation of residents. Under all conditions, the coefficient of determination R2 was 0.99 or higher, representing a range of at least 0.9921 to a maximum 0.9999. The relative standard deviation between the damage impact distance obtained using the calculation formula, and the CARIS result was compared. The minimum separation distance was corrected considering the actual chemical accident response situation, and the range was found to be between 0.58 and 5.97%. The damage impact distance can be calculated at the site using the calculation formula derived from the research, and local governments can determine whether to evacuate or notify residents.

It had been evaluated the recombinant Circumsporozoite(CS) protein of Plasmodium viva in serologic diagnosis of vivax malaria. Western blot was done to analyse the sera of malaria patients according to the days after onset. The sera which have the terms within 15 days were shown 43.8%(14/32) of positive rates and the sera over the 16 days were shown 94.4%(17/18) of positive rates. So the total positive rate was 62%(31/50). It was 22.6%(7/31) which was shown negative response in Western blot, even though they were shown positive response in Immuuofluorescent antibody test(1FAT) using whole blood stage antigens. The positive rate of non-epidemic area(Yechon-gun, Kyongsangbuk-do) was 10.7%(3/28), and epidemic area(Kangwha-gun, Inchon-shi) was 27.6%(13/47) in Western blot analysis using recombinant CS protein. In order to applicate the recombinant CS protein in seroepidemiological survey, blood samples of 422 inhabitants were collected who lived in malaria epidemic areas, Chosm-ri, Majeong-ri, Hyangyang-ri and Noejo-n in Paju-shi, Kyonggi-do. All of them were negative in microscopic examination and two(0.5%) of them were positive in Polymerase Chain Reaction. 42(10.0%) of them were seropositive in FAT using whole blood antigens and 71(16.8%) of them were seropositive in Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using recombinant CS protein. It was figured out the positive rates were much higher according to the distances of villages which were closed to the demilitalized zone(DMZ) in all kind of diagnostic methods, respectively.
