Objectives: Aircraft cabin cleaning work is characterized by being performed within a limited time in a narrow and enclosed space. The objective of this study was to evaluate the exposure levels to dust, ultra fine dust(PM2.5) and black carbon(BC) among aircraft cabin cleaners. Methods: Active personal air sampling for respirable dust(n=73) and BC(n=47) was conducted during quick transit cleaning(cabin general and vacuum-specific) and seat cover replacement and total dust and PM2.5 were area-air-sampled as well. Also, size distribution of particle was identified with the cleaning workers targeted. Dusts were collected with PVC filters using gravimetric analysis. The concentration of PM2.5 and the particle size distribution were measured with real-time direct reading portable equipment using light scattering analysis. The concentration of BC was measured by aethalometer(filter-based real-time light absorption analysis instrument). Results: The geometric mean of respirable dust was the highest at vacuum cleaning as 74.4 ㎍/m³, following by replacing seat covers as 49.3 ㎍/m³ and cabin general cleaning as 47.8 ㎍/m³ . The arithmetic mean of PM2.5 was 4.83 ~ 9.89 ㎍/m³ inside the cabin, and 28.5~44.5 ㎍/m³ outside the cabin(from bus and outdoor waiting space). From size distribution, PM_2.5/PM₁₀ ratio was 0.54 at quick transit cleaning and 0.41 at replacing seat covers. The average concentration of BC was 2~7 ㎍/m³, showing a high correlation with the PM2.5 concentration. Conclusions: The hazards concentration levels of aircraft cabin cleaners were very similar to those of roadside outdoor workers. As the main source of pollution is estimated to be diesel vehicles operating at airports, and it is necessary to replace older vehicles, strengthen pollutant emission control regulations, and introduce electric vehicles. In addition, it is necessary to provide as part of airport-inftastructure a stable standby waiting space for aircraft cabin cleaners and introduce a systematic safety and health management system for all workers in the aviation industry.

Formwork is a temporary structure that supports its weight and that of freshly placed concrete as well as construction live loads. In constructions site, pipe supports are usually used as shores which are consisted of the slab formwork. The strength of a pipe support is decreasing as it is frequently being used at the construction site. Among the accidents and failures that occur during concrete construction, there are many formwork failures which usually happen at the time concrete is being placed. The objective of this study is to find out the strength change of used pipe support and unused pipe supports according to aging. In this study, 2857 pipe supports were prepared. Among these pipe supports, 2337 pipe supports were lent to the construction companies free of charge. 520 pipe supports were kept on the outside. Compressive strength was measured by knife edge test and plate test at each 3 month. Test results show that the strength of unused pipe supports as well as used pipe supports was decreasing according to age, use frequency and load carrier, and the strength of used pipe supports was lower than the strength of unused pipe supports at the same age. So, the strength of used pipe supports from 191 days to present day was not satisfied the specification of KS F 8001. In this study, the strength of pipe support according to age, use frequency and load carrier was predicted using SPSS 12.0. It was known that the strength of pipe support using for 5 years was reduced to 42.8%. According to these results, it shows that attention has to be paid to formwork design using used pipe supports. Therefore, the present study results will be able to provide a finn base to prevent formwork collapses.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore socio-demographic factors, personality factors, socio-psychological factors, and relationship factors related to happiness of young children's fathers. Method: Subjects of this study were fathers who had 3, 4 and 5 years old children attending childcare centers. Data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 program. Results: First, father's subjective well-being was predicted by father's extraversion of personality, job satisfaction, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Marital intimacy was the strongest predictor of father's subjective well-being. Second, father's global life satisfaction was associated with occupational status, family monthly income, father's extraversion of personality, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Father's global life satisfaction was explained by satisfaction of economic status the most. Third, father's meaning of life was related to father's educational level, father's extraversion of personality, job satisfaction, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Father's meaning of life was explained by relationship with child the most. Fourth, father's positive emotion was predicted by father's extraversion of personality, job satisfaction, satisfaction of economic status, marital intimacy, and relationship with child. Extraversion of personality was the strongest predictor for father's positive emotion. Fifth, neuroticism of personality and marital intimacy were related to father's negative emotion, and neuroticism of personality was the strongest predictor for father's negative emotion. Conclusions: The findings of this research provide the fundamental source for increasing father's happiness which can be used to establish the educational programs, counseling, and policy on general public's happiness.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to determine dysphagia risk among community-dwelling elderly people living at home. We also examined the impact of socio-demographic variables on dysphagia risk as well as the relationship between dysphagia risk and dietary characteristics. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The study sample included 568 community-dwelling individuals, aged 65 years and above, who were living independently in their own home in Seoul, Gyeonggi, or Gwangju in South Korea. We used a dysphagia risk assessment scale to screen for dysphagia risk and the Mini nutritional assessment to evaluate the nutritional status. Associations between dysphagia risk and other variables were assessed using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Of the 568 subjects, 350 (61.6%) were classified into the dysphagia risk group (DR) and 218 (38.4%) were classified into the normal group (non-DR). Being female (odds ratio (OR) = 1.82, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.28-2.59), being 75 years and older (OR = 2.40, 95% CI = 1.69-3.42), having a lower education level (OR = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.33-3.97), and having a lower perceived economic status (OR = 2.18, 95% CI = 1.32-3.60) were more frequently observed with dysphagia risk compared to those who did not have such characteristics. Lowered mastication ability (OR = 14.40, 95% CI = 4.43-46.95), being at risk of malnutrition or malnourished (OR = 2.72, 95% CI = 1.75-4.23), lowered appetite (OR = 3.27, 95% CI = 2.16-4.93), and decreased food intake (OR = 2.95, 95% CI = 1.83-4.78) were observed more frequently in the DR group than in the non-DR group when adjusting for potential confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to develop and apply integrated programs to improve the dietary habits and nutritional status of elderly individuals at risk for dysphagia, especially for women aged 75 years or older with lower educational and economic levels.

Objectives This study analyzed the associations between mobile phone call frequency and duration with non-specific symptoms. Methods This study was conducted with a population group including 532 non-patient adults established by the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study. The pattern of phone call using a mobile phone was investigated through face-to-face interview. Structured methods applied to quantitatively assess health effects are Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6), Psychosocial Well-being Index-Short Form, Beck Depression Inventory, Korean-Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and 12-item Short Form Health Survey where a higher score represents a higher greater health effect. Results The average daily phone call frequency showed a significant correlation with the PSS score in female subjects. Increases in the average duration of one phone call were significantly correlated with increases in the severity of headaches in both sexes. The mean (standard deviation) HIT-6 score in the subgroup of subjects whose average duration of one phone call was five minutes or longer was 45.98 (8.15), as compared with 42.48 (7.20) in those whose average duration of one phone call was <5 minutes. The severity of headaches was divided into three levels according to the HIT-6 score (little or no impact/moderate impact/substantial or severe impact), and a logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the association between an increased phone call duration and the headache severity. When the average duration of one phone call was five minutes or longer, the odds ratio (ORs) and the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the moderate impact group were 2.22 and 1.18 to 4.19, respectively. The OR and 95% CI for the substantial or severe impact group were 4.44 and 2.11 to 8.90, respectively. Conclusions Mobile phone call duration was not significantly associated with stress, sleep, cognitive function, or depression, but was associated with the severity of headaches.

이 논문의 목적은 급속한 경제발전과 산업화 초기단계의 한국사회에서 경력내 직업이동구조가 어떻게 구축되었는가를 밝히는 데에 있다. 생애사 자료에 나타난 직업이동의 개인사들을 분석함으로써 이 논문은 산업화 초기단계인 1954년에서 1983년까지 30년 동안의 성인 남녀의 경력내 연간 직업이동들을 모형화하였다. 상위 비육체노동직업, 하위 비육체노동직업, 자영업, 육체노동직업, 농업의 5개 직업범주를 통하여 연원 이동표상에 나타난 이동형태는 비이동성에 의해 일차적으로 특징지워진다. 그러나 이동의 절대량으로 볼 때 비이동성의 정도는 각 직업군에서 달리 나타나, 요약하면 U자형이라고 볼 수 있다. 전체적으로 연간이동의 형태는 직업간의 거리라는 개념으로 가장 잘 설명될 수 있다. 직업이동의 상대적 형태를 연구하기 위해서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 대수선형모형의 문제점들을 지적하고 비판하면서 필자는 개념적,이론적 작업과 모형추정의 방법론적 작업을 결합시키는 형태의 대수선형모형을 주장하였다. 이러한 모형은 1) 세대간 이동과 세대내(경력간)이동의 구별을 가능하게 하며, 2) 불평등구조 관점, 노동시장적 관점, 생애사적 관점을 동시에 반영할 수 있는 것이어야 한다. 이동표의 분석에서 출발직업과 도달직업의 상대적 규모 외에 크게 6가지의 개념적으로 구별되는 설명요인들(지속성, 천정, 전통부문, 비육체노동, 대안적 이동경로, 직업간 거리)에 바탕을 둔 모형을 통하여 경력이동의 형태를 분석하였다. 우리사회에서 세대내 직업이동의 상대적 형태는 지속성 요인과 천정효과에 의해 좌우되는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 그러나 세대간 이동의 연구결과와는 달리, 우리사회에서 세대내 (경력내) 직업이동에서는 자영업으로의 대안적 이동경로의 요인이 강하게 작용하고 있는 것으로 나타난다. 세대내 직업이동의 상대적 형태는 다음과 같은 몇가지로 특징지울 수 있다. 첫째, 대각선상에서 일어나는 지속성 요인의 효과가 절대적이다. 지속성 요인의 효과는 서구 선진산업사회에서의 U자형과는 달리 역-J자형으로 나타나고 있다. 둘째, 비육체노동직업과 육체노동직업 및 농업간의 직업간 거리에 의한 부의 이동효과가 명백히 발견된다. 셋째 농업으로부터의 이동은 상대적으로 도달직업의 종류와 상관없이 일어나고 있다. 넷째, 비육체노동직업간의 이동은 상대적으로 매우 높고 쌍방향적이며, 다른 직업군에 대해 배타적이다. 다섯째, 유출과 유입의 양 측면에 있어 자영업은 매우 독특한 기능을 수행하고 있다. 여섯째, 우리사회에서 경력내 직업이동의 상대적 형태는 대각선을 중심으로 비대칭적이다.

화석연료의 의존도를 줄이고자 대체에너지 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있는 현재, 산업에서 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 대체에너지 중 하나가 수소이다. 수소의 수요는 매년 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며, 수소의 생산 및 이송을 위한 설비도 늘어나고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따른 수소설비에서 중대사고가 발생할 확률 또한 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 또한 산업현장에서 가장 사고를 많이 초래하는 물질은 LPG 61%, 수소 12%, LNG 10%로 세 가지 가연성가스의 사고 빈도는 높은 축에 속한다. 따라서 산업용으로 많이 사용되며 사고다발성 가연성 가스인 수소, LNG, LPG가 제한된 공간에서 폭발했을 때의 폭발위험성에 대하여 CFD 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 계산을 하였고, 그 결과들을 기반으로 비교분석하여, 제한된 공간에서의 각 가스별 폭발에 대한 위험성을 검토하였다.
