This study compared news coverage of national and international disasters, Hurricane Katrina and the Haiti Earthquake, using textual analysis of The New York Times and The Washington Post. The results reveal that media framing of the historical cases developed in three stages upon the development of post-disaster relief: (1) Call for humanitarian assistance; (2) New Orleans under anarchy and hopelessness vs. Haiti under scrutiny with hope; and (3) Katrina effects. By framing the outcomes of the hurricane as the "Katrina effect," the media used the disaster as a reference point to explain other economic and political issues. In addition, analysis of relevant statements and press releases confirmed that different social actors involved in the relief process, such as donors, facilitators, and beneficiaries, contributed to the media framing of the issue, although the facilitators were most successful in transferring their own frames to media frames. This study makes important contributions to the field as it looks beyond traditional relationships between quantitative measures of media attention and aid allocation. For governmental and nongovernmental organizations in the area of humanitarian assistance, the findings of this study will assist them in media-relations in the future.

최근, 전 세계적으로 지구 온난화가 가속화됨에 따라 해수면의 온도가 상승함과 동시에 태풍의 강도도 커지고 있는 실정이다. 우리나라의 경우에도 태풍을 연구하는 많은 학자들이 머지않은 미래에 슈퍼태풍이 내습할 것으로 예측하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 태풍 Maemi의 시동경로에 미국을 강타한 허리케인 Katrina(미국 뉴올리언스, 2005)와 태풍 Durian(필리핀, 2006) 및 태풍 Vera(일본 이세만, 1959)의 태풍특성(중심기압, 최대풍속반경,이동속도 등)을 조합하여 수치시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 부산 경남 연안역 대부분의 지점에서 Maemi의 경로에 Durian과 Vera를 진행시킨 경우, Maemi내습 시보다 약 $1.5{\sim}2.0$배 높은 폭풍해일고를, Katrina의 경우, 약 4.0배 이상의 높은 폭풍해일고를 나타내었다. 이상과 같은 최대폭풍해일고의 수치로서 슈퍼태풍의 위험성을 충분히 인지하여 최적의 방재시스템을 구축하는 것이 폭풍해일의 재해예방 및 최소화를 위하여 조속히 해결하여야 할 과제이다.

전 세계적인 지구온난화로 인해 태풍의 강도와 규모가 커지고 있고 이로 인한 사회경제적인 피해가 갈수록 증가하고 있는 상황에서 사전에 침수예상지역 및 예상피해규모를 파악하고, 대비하는 일은 아주 중요하다. 이 논문에서는 2003년 부산과 경남지역 연안을 강타한 태풍 Maemi(매미)의 이동경로에 태풍 매미를 비롯하여 Vera(베라)(일본 이세만, 1959), Durian(두리안)(필리핀, 2006) 그리고 2005년 미국을 강타한 허리케인 Katrina(카트리나)의 특성을 갖는 슈퍼태풍의 내습을 가정하여 해운대 해수욕장 인근 도심지역의 침수피해규모를 추정하였다. 태풍별 해수면 상승고는 기존 연구자들의 수치모델링 결과를 토대로 육상표고와 해저수심의 서로 다른 기준면을 통일시킨 후 계산하였고, 항공 LiDAR 자료를 기반으로 GIS 공간분석기술을 이용하여 침수고, 침수면적 및 건물피해액을 추정하였다. 태풍의 강도와 규모가 점점 커지고 있고, 우리나라에도 근년에 Katrina(카트리나)급의 슈퍼태풍이 내습할 가능성이 클 것으로 예상되는 상황에서, 이 연구결과는 연안 도심지역에 대한 해안침수예상도와 범람피난지도를 제작하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper discusses the properties of RCA, the effects of RCA use on concrete material properties, and the large scale impact of RCA on structural members. The review study yielded the following findings in regards to concrete material properties: (1) replacing NA in concrete with RCA decreases the compressive strength, but yields comparable splitting tensile strength; (2) the modulus of rupture for RCA concrete was slightly less than that of conventional concrete, likely due to the weakened the interfacial transition zone from residual mortar; and (3) the modulus of elasticity is also lower than expected, caused by the more ductile aggregate. As far as the structural performance is concerned, beams with RCA did experience greater midspan deflections under a service load and smaller cracking moments. However, structural beams did not seem to be as affected by RCA content as materials tests. Most of all, the ultimate moment was moderately affected by RCA content. All in all, it is confirmed that the use of RCA is likely a viable option for structural use.

Injury is a serious problem that not only causes death but also significantly degrades the quality of life of the people and causes loss of socioeconomic opportunities and costs. Damage occurs as a result of an accident. Among them, natural disasters and artificial disasters take lives of many people in a short time and threaten their physical and mental health. The United States has responded to the disaster by establishing relevant laws and regulations and a response system with the recognition that health is recognised soon to be as national security in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Katrina disaster. It is necessary to build a knowledge infrastructure to train disaster response experts in public health area and to have health competence to cope with disasters.

The concept of vertical living has been hailed as a solution to control fast growth and urbanization of cities worldwide. As super tall residential projects become more common and sustainability considerations become more necessary, their efficiency has been called into question. How do vertical residential developments compare with suburban homes? What are the environmental advantages and disadvantages of vertical communities? Is there a middle ground? We present the results from an AS+GG study that compares the environmental performance of different housing typologies ranging from a 215 supertall building to single family residences, including several scales in between. Our samples comprise 2,000 residential units per type and include the infrastructure needed to support them. We analyzed land use, energy use, and lifecycle carbon emissions for each typology. The results show that different typologies perform better depending on the parameter being assessed. We discuss these findings; assess overall performance, and present conclusions.

Researchers have recently begun using high spatial resolution remote-sensing data, which are automatically captured and georeferenced, to assess damage following natural and man-made disasters, in addition to, or instead of employing the older methods of walking house-to-house for surveys, or photographing individual buildings from an airplane. This research establishes quantitative relationships between the damage states observed at ground-level, and those observed from space using high spatial resolution remote-sensing data, for windstorms, for individual site-built one- or two-family residences (FR12). "Degrees of Damage" (DOD) from the Enhanced Fujita (EF) Scale were determined for ground-based damage states; damage states were also assigned for remote-sensing imagery, using a modified version of Womble's Remote-Sensing (RS) Damage Scale. The preliminary developed model can be used to predict the ground-level damage state using remote-sensing imagery, which could significantly lessen the time and expense required to assess the damage following a windstorm.

Dementia is a clinical syndrome characterized by progressive impairment of cognitive and functional abilities. As currently applied treatments for dementia can only delay the progression of dementia and cannot fundamentally cure it, much attention is being paid to reducing its incidence by preventing the associated risk factors. Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases are well-known risk factors for dementia, and many studies have attempted to prevent dementia by treating these risk factors. Growing evidence suggests that sex-based factors may play an important role in the pathogenesis of dementia. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the differences in the effects of drugs based on sex may help improve their effectiveness. In this study, we reviewed sex differences in the impact of therapeutics targeting risk factors for dementia, such as cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, to prevent the incidence and/or progression of dementia.
