Purpose: Near drowning refers to immediate survival after asphyxia due to submersion or immersion in water, which is a crucial public safety problem worldwide. Acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common complication of near drowning. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of noninvasive nasal positive pressure ventilation (NINPPV). Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary emergency department. NINPPV was administered for moderate ARDS caused by submersion or immersion in patients who were older than 18 years, from January 2015 to December 2018. We collected the demographic (age, sex, length of hospital stay, and outcome), laboratory (arterial blood gas, lactate, oxygen saturation, partial pressure of oxygen divided by the fraction of inspired oxygen, complete blood count, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine), and clinical data (acute lung injury index and ventilator failure) of the patients. A statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.0 for Windows. Results: NINPPV treatment was provided to 57 patients for near drowning, 45 of whom (78.9%) were successfully treated without complications; in 12 (21.1%), treatment was changed to invasive mechanical ventilation within 48 hours due to ARDS or acute kidney injury. NINPPV treatment was successful in 31 (75.6%) out of 41 sea-water near drowning patients. They were more difficult to treat with NINPPV compared with the fresh-water near drowning patients (p<0.05). Conclusions: NINPPV would be useful and feasible as the initial treatment of moderate ARDS caused by near drowning.

This study aims to examine the difference in the rurality of rural villages near a metropolitan city. It investigated the general status and economic activities of the two villages near Ulsan Metropolitan City to find out what the differences are and to diagnose the reasons for such differences and their impact on future changes in the villages. Through this survey analysis, it found that the two villages have been continuously experiencing a decrease in population over the last 10 years, despite being near large cities. In addition, it also identified the characteristics of the agricultural and livestock industries taking center stage in economic activities. In other words, although the cases are rural villages near a big city, it was shown that the village near a provincial city is basically based on agricultural characteristics. Regarding future prospects, on the one hand, in the case of Dagae-ri, the villagers expect that the current livestock industry-oriented activities may continue to develop. On the other hand, in the case of Shinhwa-ri, the residents think that the rural characteristics may be rapidly lost and urbanized. Based on these findings, this study suggests that rural policies for villages near large cities also need to be applied in a discriminatory manner, taking into account the basis on which economic activities in the villages are developed.

In this paper, we will investigate some properties of strongly reduced near-rings. The purpose of this paper is to find more characterizations of the strong regularity in near-rings, which are closely related with strongly reduced near-rings.

Recently, there are severe tension between Korea and Japan around Dokdo area. Because the marine resources near Dokdo are much plentiful. Especially, development of deep sea water and natural gas are hopeful in this area. In order to preoccupy a development plan of marine resources, many scientific investiment for ocean research are needed. We must have continuous concern about marine resources near Dokdo area.

Throughout this paper X is a Banach space and $\mu$ is the Lebesgue measure on [0, 1] and all operators are assumed to be bounded and linear. $L^1(\mu)$ is the Banach space of all (classes of) Lebesgue integrable functions on [0, 1] with its usual norm. Let $T : L^1(\mu) \to X$ be an operator.

The coastal cold water near Ulsan, Korea, almost always appears in summer. From the results of some data analysis, it is found that this cold water has an important relation to the anticlockwise circulation appearing near the coast where the anticlockwise circulation turns its current direction from south to east.
