유량예측은 효과적인 홍수관리 및 수자원 계획을 위한 매우 중요한 재난방지 접근법이다. 현재 기후변화로 인한 집중호우가 나날이 증가하고 있어 막대한 기반시설 손실과 재산, 인명 피해가 발생하고 있다. 본 연구는 미국 테네시주 Hickman County의 Vernon에 있는 Piney Resort의 최근 홍수사례분석을 통해 최대 강우 시나리오에서 유량예측에 대한 강우의 기여도를 측정했다. Piney River 유역내 USGS 두개의 관측소(03602500, 03599500)에서 20년(2000-2019) 동안의 일별 하천 유량, 수위 및 강우 데이터를 수집했고, Long Short Term Memory(LSTM)을 사용하였다. 또한, Tensorflow, Keras Machine learning frameworks, Python을 이용하여 14일로 구별된 유량 값을 예측하였다. 또한, 모델이 2021년 8월 21일의 범람 이벤트를 예측할 수 있었는지를 결정하는 데 사용되었다. 전체 데이터(수위, 유량 및 강우량)가 포함된 LSTM 모델은 일부 강우 모델을 제외하고 지속성 모델보다 우수한 성능을 보였으며, 강우자료만 이용하여 유량예측을 하는 것은 충분하지 않음을 나타냈다. 결과는 LSTM 모델은 0.68 및 13.84m³/s의 최적 NSE 및 RMSE 값을 나타냈고, 가장 낮은 예측 오차로 예측 최대유량은 94m³/s로 나타났다. 향후 강우 패턴에 대한 다양한 분석이 이루어진다면 효율적인 홍수 경보 시스템 및 정책을 설계하는 관련 연구에 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.

Background: Hearing loss (HL) is linked to an elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The pathogeneses of HL and CVD commonly involve inflammatory responses. Previous studies investigated elevated levels of inflammatory biomarkers in subjects with HL, however, their findings did not demonstrate statistical significance. In our cross-sectional and longitudinal study, we investigated the correlation between HL and increased high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels to determine how HL is associated with CVDs. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with workers aged over 18 years who underwent health check-ups at our institution between 2012 and 2018 (n = 566,507), followed by conducting a longitudinal study of workers aged > 18 who underwent health checkups at least twice at our institution between 2012 and 2018 (n = 173,794). The definition of HL was as an average threshold of ≥ 20 dB in pure-tone air conduction at 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 kHz in both ears. The incidence of increased hsCRP levels throughout the follow-up period was defined as a level exceeding 3 mg/L. Logistic regression and generalized estimating equations were performed to estimate the risk of increased hsCRP levels according to the occurrence of HL in groups stratified by age. Results: In the cross-sectional study, the multivariate-adjusted odds ratio (OR) was 1.17 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.34); the OR was 0.99 (95% CI: 0.80-1.22) in those under 40 and 1.28 (1.08-1.53) in those over 40. In the longitudinal study, the multivariable-adjusted OR was 1.05 (95% CI: 0.92-1.19); the OR was 1.10 (95% CI: 0.90-1.35) in those under 40 and 1.20 (1.01-1.43) in those over 40. Conclusions: This cross-sectional and longitudinal study identified an association between HL and increased hsCRP levels in workers aged over 40 years.

댐 유역내 경작지나 산림에서의 가속화된 토양유실은 하류지역의 탁수문제를 야기시킨다. 토양유실은 탁수의 증가와 생태계 파괴의 원인으로서 사회적으로나 환경적으로 해결되어야만 하는 문제로 나타나고 있다. 또한 토양유실은 강우로 인하여 유출이 일어날 때 대부분의 경작지에서 발생하는데, 이는 수리 구조물을 불안정하게 만들고, 생태계를 파괴하며 취수를 악화 시키는 등 환경적 경제적 문제를 일으킨다. 이로 인해 수자원의 지속가능한 이용뿐만 아니라 하천생태계에도 많은 피해를 주고 있으나, 그동안 탁수문제는 저수지를 포함한 유역 물관리 운영에 적극적으로 고려되지는 않았다. 소양강댐 유역내 탁수의 주원인이 되는 탁수우선관리지역(우심지역) 세 개의 소유역 중 하나가 홍천에 위치한 자운리 지역이다. 특히 이 지역에서는 산림을 무허가로 밭으로 개간하여 소득작물을 재배하는 무허가 경작이 행해지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 Sediment Assessment Tool for Erosion Control(SATEEC) ArcView GIS를 기반으로 고해상도 위성사진과 지적도를 이용하여 현 상황을 보여주는 토지이용을 새롭게 구축하여 무허가 경작지를 산림으로 환원하였을 경우 토양유실저감을 평가하고자 함에 있다. 본 연구 결과에서 같이 무허가 경작지를 산림으로 환원한다면 17.42%의 토양유실 저감이 기대된다. 자운리 지역의 무허가 경작지는 경사도가 30%이상인 지역에서 47.48ha(30.83%), 경사도가 15%이상인 지역에서는 103.64ha(67.29%)를 차지하고 있다. 만약 모든 무허가 경작지를 산림으로 환원한다면 17.41%의 토양유실 및 유사량 감소가 기대되고, 경사도가 30%이상인 지역에서는 10.86%, 경사도가 15%이상인 지역에서는 16.15%의 감소가 기대된다. 따라서 자운리 유역에서 야기되는 토양유실과 이에 따른 학수발생을 저감시키기 위해서는 경사지에 위치한 무허가 경작지를 우선적으로 환원시켜야만 한다.

축산농가로부터 발생되는 악취문제는 지역사회에 중요한 이슈로 떠오르고 있다. 본 연구는 미국의 콜로라도 주의 한 지역(Weld County)에서 거래된 3,355개의 주택이 199개의 축산농가의 악취 때문에 거래가격에 얼마나 영향을 받았는지를 분석하였다. 특히 주택시장에 잠재적으로 존재하는 공간상관관계를 분석에 포함하기 위해 공간 헤도닉 모형을 이용하였다. 결과를 보면 이 지역은 전통적으로 육우와 비육우 농가가 많아서인지 소규모의 육우와 비육우 농장은 오히려 농촌의 전형적인 전원생활의 일부로 주택가격에 양의 파급효과로 나타났다. 그러나 악취로 인한 주택가격의 영향은 축산업의 규모와 업종에 따라 차이를 보였다. 일정규모 이상을 넘어서는 농가와 특정 업종은 주택가격을 하락시키는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 대규모의 양돈과 양(sheep)은 주택과 근거리에 있는 경우 지역사회에 결정적인 경제적 손실을 초래하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 축산업의 악취는 부정적인 외부효과의 하나로 지역사회에 사회적인 비용으로 나타난다. 정책결정자는 이 같은 사회적인 비용을 최소화하고 지역경제개발 효과를 극대화하기 위해 이 같은 사회적인 비용을 지역계획 수립에 반영해야 한다. 특히 주택과 축산업의 위치와 특성을 적절히 고려해야 할 것이다.

Abstract Over the last several decades, crop production in the United States increased largely due to the extensive use of animal waste and fertilizers as plant nutrient supplements, and pesticides for crops pests and weed control. Without the application of animal waste best management, the use of animal waste can result in nonpoint source pollution from agricultural land area. In order to increase nutrient levels and decrease contamination from agricultural lands, nonpoint source pollution is responsible for water quality degradation. Nonpoint source pollutants such as animal waste, ferilizers, and pesticides are transported primarily through runoff from agricultural areas. Nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus, can be a major water quality problem because they cause eutrophic algae growth. In 1985, it was presented that Watershed/Water Quality Monitoring for Evaluation BMP Effectiveness was implemented for Nomini Creek Watershed, located in Westmoreland County, Virginia. The watershed is predominantly agricultural and has an aerial extent of 1505 ha of land, with 43% under cropland, 54% under woodland, and 3% as homestead and roads. Rainfall data was collected at the watershed from raingages located at sites PNI through PN 7. Streams at stations QN I and QN2 were being measured with V-notch weirs. Water levels at the stream was measured using an FW-l Belfort (Friez FWl). The water quality monitoring system was designed to provide comprehensive assessment of the quality of storm runoff and baseflow as influenced by changes in landuse, agronomic, and cultural practices ill the watershed. As this study was concerned with the Nomini Creek Watershed, the separation of storm runoff and baseflow measured at QNI and QN2 was given by the master depletion curve method, and the loadings of baseflow and storm runoff for TN (Total Nitrogen) and TP (Total Phosphorus) were analyzed from 1987 through 1989. The results were studied for the best management practices to reduce contamination and loss of nutrients, (e.g., total nitrogen and total phosphorus) by nonpoint source pollution from agricultural lands.

The water supply facilities of Korea have achieved a rapid growth, along with the other social infrastructures consisting a city, due to the phenomenon of urbanization according to economic development. Meanwhile, the level of water supply service demanded by consumer is also steadily getting higher in keeping with economic growth. However, as an adverse effect of rapid growth, the quantity of aged water supply pipes are increasing rapidly, Bursts caused by pipe aging brought about an enormous economic loss of about 6,161 billion won as of 2019. These problems are not only worsening water supply management, also increasing the regional gap in water supply services. The purpose of this study is to classify hazard evaluation indicators and to rank the water distribution network hazard by cluster using the TOPSIS method. In conclusion, in this study, the entropy-based multi-criteria decision-making methods was applied to rank the hazard management of the water distribution network, and the hazard management ranking for each cluster according to the water supply conditions of the county-level municipalities was determined according to the evaluation indicators of water outage, water leakage, and pipe aging. As such, the hazard ranking method proposed in this study can consider various factors that can impede the tap water supply service in the water distribution network from a macroscopic point of view, and it can be reflected in evaluating the degree of hazard management of the water distribution network from a preventive point of view. Also, it can be utilized in the implementation of the maintenance plan and water distribution network management project considering the equity of water supply service and the stability of service supply.

Brown leaf spot disease caused by Nigrospora guilinensis on Phellodendron chinense occurs in a large area in Dayi County, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China each year. This outbreak has severely reduced the production of Chinese medicinal plants P. chinense and caused substantial economic losses. The bacterial isolate JKB05 was isolated from the healthy leaves of P. chinense, exhibited antagonistic effects against N. guilinensis and was identified as Bacillus megaterium. The following fermentation medium and conditions improved the inhibitory effect of B. megaterium JKB05 on N. guilinensis: 2% glucose, 0.1% soybean powder, 0.1% KCl, and 0.05% MgSO₄; initial concentration 6 × 10⁶ cfu/ml, and a 42-h optimal fermentation time. A composite of 0.1% nano-SiO₂ JKB05 improved the thermal stability, acid-base stability and ultraviolet resistance by 16%, 12%, and 38.9%, respectively, and nano-SiO₂ was added to the fermentation process. The best formula for the wettable powder was 35% kaolin, 4% polyethylene glycol, 8% Tween, and 2% humic acid. The following quality test results for the wettable powder were obtained: wetting time 87.0 s, suspension rate 80.33%, frequency of microbial contamination 0.08%, pH 7.2, fineness 95.8%, drying loss 1.47%, and storage stability ≥83.5%. A pot experiment revealed that the ability of JKB05 to prevent fungal infections on P. chinense increased considerably and achieved levels of control as high as 94%. The use of nanomaterials significantly improved the ability of biocontrol bacteria to control this disease.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the state of the dental health of adults, used self-reporting qestionnaire as objects of 923 residents living in nine districts at random among the sites of eleven town located in a County. The level of knowledge on dental health of adults in a County was 65.6 points out of 100 points, comparatively low. Accodingly, it is necessary for entire adults to have a dental health-related education and get high standard of knowledge. Especially, educational approach should be performed for groups of 40-49 years old, 50-59 years old, above 60 years old, male, no educational background, having only elementary and middle school education, not having any jobs, engaging in agriculture, doing business on their own and so on. When planning the contents of health education, one actually has to include the habit of amalgam, the factor in influencing on dental health as well as show an example such as how to brush teeth, checking point of proper brushing, how to grip toothbrush. The attitude score related to dental heath was 71.2 points out of 100 points, relatively low. Consequently, the change of attitude related the dental health among entire adults is necessary, particularily, the strategical approach is essential to change dental health connected to attitude positively for groups of male, having high school education background, office workers and the civil service. Besides, among dental health related symtoms, more that 30-40％ of objects showed negative attitude toward as the following cases; in case that plaque or food debris are attached to the teeth (40.8％), upper and lower teeth do not fit together(40.3％), you cannot sleep well because of toothache(31.0％), more than one tooth fall out(31.0％), you have loosing teeth(30.6％), the approach should be conducted to form attitude that dental care is necessry. The state of dental health through dental health related symtoms was 33.3 points out of 100 points, which was fairly satisfactory. However, dental treatment for the state of dental health should be executed in case of comparison of the dental health state according to general characteristics, the group who are above 60 years old, have elementary school education background, engage in aggriculture who are not good in dental health state as opposed to other groups. Furthermore, there should be dental care needs according to dental health related symtoms, particularly, more than 60-70％ of objects have experienced symtoms that plaque or food debris attached to the teeth, tartar is on the teeth so dental treatment should be peformed for a large number of adults. In addition, for the people who have indications that there was a cavity, more than one tooth loss, chilled teeth, toothache when chewing, loose teeth, upper and lower teeth do not fit together, you cannnt sleep well due to the toothach, etc, there should be care through dental treatment. The actual conditions of the hygine of the mouth was relatively good and the difference of the actual state of dental health care in terms of general characteristics showed in only gender; female was more careful in dental health. Comparing the state of oral health synthetically, when they have symtoms, only 34.8％ of objects go to a dentist, 60.7％ are using passive or negative care such as gargling, tolerating or ignoring. There was many symtoms to care through dental therapy such as plaque or food debris get in between the teeth, tartar on the teeth, teeth are very cold, more than one tooth fallout, loose teeth, there is wrong amalgam, and so on, among symtoms to care passively or negatively. Therefore the education for proper treatment program should be performed. As a result of dental health-related knowlege, attitude, health state, verification of correlation between the actual condition of care, the higher the dental heath-related knowldege becomes, the more positive the dental health-related attitude is, and the state of dental health, that is, the standard of the symtom of dental health diminishes. the care for dental health executed through more active method and the more positive dental health-related attitude is, the more active means they performed. Consequently, the high level of dental health-related knowledge should be necessary, the more positive the dental health-related attitude was, the more active method they adopted, therefore, the program is needed to form attitude related to the dental health positively. As the knowledge on dental health is increasing, the attitude is also positive, after all, the plan to increase the standard of knowledge on dental health should be contrived through education program related to dental health.
