In this case study, results of the explosion accident at MEK-PO factory were analysed by using the consequence analysis of quantitative hazard assessment and the explosion energy, the burst pressure of vessel, and overpressures at the explosion center and at 300m distance from the explosion center were estimated, respectively. As a result, we found that a cause of accident was the runaway reaction of product(MEK-PO) because of the molecular expansion in vessel and that the possibility of the runaway reaction was classified the mechanical failure(the obstacle of refrigerator or the shutdown valve), design error, and operating error by lack of thermochemical knowledge. Also, the evasive action to prevent accident was suggested.

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is an extension paradigm of moving vehicles to communicate with wireless transmission devices within a certain geographical limit without any fixed infrastructure. The vehicles have most important participation in this model is usually positioned quite dimly within the certain radio range. Fuzzy based multi-hop broadcast protocol is better than conventional message dissemination techniques in high-mobility VANETs, is proposed in this research work. Generally, in a transmission range the existing number of nodes is obstacle for rebroadcasting that can be improved by reducing number of intermediate forwarding points. The proposed protocol stresses on transmission of emergency message projection by utilization subset of surrounding nodes with consideration of three metrics: inter-vehicle distance, node density and signal strength. The proposed protocol is fuzzy MHB. The method assessment is accomplished in OMNeT++, SUMO and MATLAB environment to prove the efficiency of it.

The Korean environmental impact assessment(EIA) system, and explored ways to improve it as a more efficient and viable institution relevant to the demand of our time and conditions in study. The first problem this study identified is found in the fact that the party to write up the assessment report is itself the business operator or the one who is planning to work out the business plan. This structure translates into placing an order with an agent for EIA report. The reporting job may br subcontracted to the agent at a cost far below the rate specified in the 'Standard for Estimate of Agency Fee for Environmental Impact Assessment.' This practice also causes the vicious circle of producing a report that is written to justify the project or business in question or it leads to rough-and ready and poor documentation to minimize the time required. Second, in order to achieve the goal of the plan or business, which is the target of EIA, the local residents tend to ve regarded as an obstacle. This means elimination of the local people from participating in the EIA or their opinion being frequently ignored. This is the seed of distrust and hostility that sometimes provoke disagreements or fierce conflicts. The first proposal to improve these problem is to improve the factors that cause poor documentation of the assessment report as well as improve the understanding of the EIA system. This study proposes the following measures for improvement. The agency cost for EIA should be paid by the business operator or a third party that can ensure faithful implementation of the payment. A system should be established to verify transparent estimation of the agency cost. In order to enhance the professional quality of EIA agents, there should be implementation of qualification test for industrial engineer of related engineers in addition to the current EIA Qualification Test. The second proposal for improvement is to improve the citizen participation process by instituting a legal framework to make clear the purpose of the briefing session for local residents, which is held as a procedure of EIA, and to ensure more positive publicity during the stage of listening to the opinion of the local community. For a smooth and rational communication process, a moderator and a communicator of opinion, as is the case in a public hearing, could be instituted to clearly get the purpose of the briefing session across to the residents and to help to carry out the explanation and Q & A sessions according to the categories of the opinion of the residents. At present, the notification of the public inspection of the draft of the assessment report and briefing session for the residents is made on the newspaper and internet network. But some people have difficulty with access to this method of announcement. A higher participation rate could be secured if a legal provision is added to specify putting up placards in specific places such as the entrance to the place for the briefing session for residents or the building of administrative agencies of the area concerned.

최근 정보통신 분야의 가장 큰 패러다임은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅(ubiquitous computing)이다. 이는 유비쿼터스 사회(ubiquitous society)를 실현하는 기반 기술로서 사회, 경제, 문화 등 모든 분야에 긍정적인 영향력을 미치게 될 것이나, 유비쿼터스 사회로의 진입은 개인 프라이버시를 침해할 수 있다는 우려의 목소리도 함께 나타나고 있다. 따라서 이를 보호하기 위한 법적, 기술적 규제 방안의 존재는 향후 RFID 기술 및 산업의 확산에 큰 장애요인이 될 것이며, 문제 해결을 위해 기술적인 방법으로만 접근한다면 기업 측면에서는 막대한 비용과 기술력을 투자해야만 할 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한필구(2006)가 개발한 "RFID 활용단계별 개인정보보호 영향평가(안)"의 8개의 RFID 활용단계, 단계별 과정, 점검사항 그리고 85개의 평가항목들을 RFID 개인정보 영향평가를 측정할 수 있는 지표로 선정하여, 해당전문가를 대상으로 설문조사를 통한 객관적 자료를 활용해 RFID 개인정보 영향평가지수를 개발하고자 한다. 이는 RFID 관련 분야 기업에는 타당성과 신뢰성 있는 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것이며, RFID 개인정보에 관한 정책 수립에도 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 RFID 활용에 있어서 개인정보에 대한 진단 도구로서 하나의 기준 및 유비쿼터스 사회의 기반 구축에 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to develop a Korean Health Literacy Assessment Tool (KHLAT) and to encourage researchers in the public health education field to look at the concept of health literacy as one of the possible strategies to design and develop more effective health education campaigns in Korea. Methods: Data with 117 sample subjects was collected from various classes such as continuing adult classes and undergraduate classes. REALM, well-known and widely used health literacy tool in the US, was translated and modified for cultural considerations. The Korean modified version of the REALM was administrated to the targeted subjects who were asked to fill the survey questionnaires. Results: The findings appear to be consistent with the OCED reading literacy among Koreans. Health literacy among Korean seems to be more serious problem than we have expected before and this could be a major obstacle to effective health public education campaigns. Conclusions: In order to develop better public health education materials as well as health education programs, it may be critical for us as health educators to inform future physicians as well as practicing physicians of the important link between health literacy and the effective health education(or communication). It is now time for us to make sincere efforts in understanding health literacy one of effective strategies toward improving the public health.

기존의 확률적 지진 취약성 분석은 그 중요성에도 불구하고 시간과 노력의 과도한 소요로 인하여 내진 성능 평가에 사용되기에 많은 제약이 따라왔다. 본 연구에서는 이를 극복하기 위해 획기적 수준의 신속성과 확장성을 갖춘 지진 취약성 분석 체계와 이를 실용화 하기위한 취약성 등고선을 개발하였다. 응답 데이터베이스를 활용하여 광범위한 구조물의 최대 응답을 즉각적으로 구하고 이를 바탕으로 구조물의 주기와 강성에 따른 한계상태확률의 변화를 한눈에 파악할 수 있는 취약성 등고선을 도출하였다. 최대응답 등고선의 도출과 비교를 통해서 최대응답의 분포는 연성도 요구치로 나타내는 것이 변위의 절대값으로 표현하는 것보다 안정적인 예측곡선을 보여 주며, 구조물의 응답특성변수인 주기와 강도비가 최대응답에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데도 유리함을 확인하였다. 연성도를 내진성능 평가의 기준으로 사용하기 위해서 내진설계기준에서 한계상태변위로서 제시되는 층간변위비와 연성도 요구치 사이의 상호 변환 관계를 정의하였다. 예제 구조물의 내진보강 전략 수립에 대한 논의를 통해서 신뢰성 이론에 기반 한 내진 보강과 설계에 취약성 등고선이 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

To support early intervention, it is necessary to develop programming system tools that enable accurate, valid, and reliable assessments and can help achieve reasonable, generalizable, and measurable goals. This study examined the Assessment, Evaluation, and Programming System (AEPS) used by associations of children with disabilities in Saudi Arabia to assess its suitability for children with intellectual disabilities. A group of 16 specialists with different professional backgrounds (including special education, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and psychology) from 11 associations of children with disabilities took part in semi-structured personal interviews. The study concluded that AEPS is generally suited for use with children with intellectual disabilities. However, its suitability depends on the type and severity of the child's disability. The more severe the disability, the less effective the AEPS is likely to be. On the basis of this finding the researchers formed interdisciplinary teams to organise and integrate the children's learning and assess the benefits of AEPS, including its accuracy and ability to achieve adaptive, cognitive, and social targets, enhance family engagement and learning and develop basic development skills. This study also identified obstacles associated with the use of AEPS. These include the lack of comprehensiveness and accuracy of the goal, lack of precision and non-applicability to large movements and the fact that it cannot be used with all children with intellectual disabilities. In addition, the research showed that non-cooperation within the family is a major obstacle to the implementation of the AEPS. The results of this study have several implications.
