Oral health projects that cater to the disabled should be more prevailing in order to ensure the maintenance and successful promotion of the oral health of disabled people. 70 public dental clinics that conducted oral health projects geared toward the disabled were examined to get a precise grip on their oral health projects. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. 31 out of 70 public dental clinics investigated(44.3%) were equipped with two or more dental hygienists who were professional human resources in charge of the oral health projects for the disabled. As for the age and disability type of the beneficiaries of the oral health projects, adolescents(74.3%) and people with mental retardation(87.1%) benefited most from the oral health projects. Concerning the most common implementation frequency of the projects, the projects were carried out once to three times a week(62.9%). 2. The most dominant oral disease treatment provided to disabled people was amalgam treatment and resin treatment(68.6%), which were the early dental caries treatment. The most common preventive treatment that was offered to improve their oral health was oral prophylaxis(82.9%). As for reform measures for the oral health projects, education of personnels in charge of the projects and their specialization(58.6%) were most emphasized. 3. Regarding factors related to the preventive oral health projects for the disabled, the implementation of oral prophylaxis and toothbrushing education was linked to the age of the beneficiaries. More oral prophylaxis was offered to teens, and more toothbrushing education was provided to preschoolers and adolescents. The age of the beneficiaries and the number of dental hygienists responsible for the projects had something to do with the application of fluorides. 4. Concerning the relationship of the preventive oral health projects for the disabled to the number of dental hygienists, one of the personnels in charge of the projects, the application of fluorides( 54.4%) and pit & fissure sealing(56.8%) were more prevalent when there were two or more dental hygienists. There was a statistically significant disparity in that regard(p<0.05). The above-mentioned findings illustrated that in order to boost the oral health of the disabled, dental hygienists who are responsible for the oral health projects for the disabled should put ceaseless efforts into fostering their professional knowledge and ability and offering quality service to disabled patients. Every public dental clinic should be equipped with plenty of professional personnels to enlarge the scope of treatment and ensure the efficiency of treatment and the preventive projects.

Objectives: This study was conducted to reveal the biological basis of dental plaque and preschool children's dental health status through repetitive and continuous toothbrushing instruction to preschool children, using quantitative criteria, and to emphasize the importance of the role of an oral health manager for the prevention of dental caries. Methods: After IRB approval, toothbrushing instruction and oral microbial specimen collection were conducted with children of preschool age at the Daycare Center attached to D. University, Busan. Specimens from 27 children were characterized by analysis with real-time multi-chain enzymatic polymerization reaction technique at an agency specializing in genetic analysis. Results: In a survey of the children's dental health behaviors, 48.1% responded that the toothbrushing time is 91 to 150 seconds; 66.7% responded that the frequency of toothbrushing is more than three times per day; 81.5% stated that they performed tongue brushing; and 81.5% brushed their teeth. Regarding levels of dental cariogenic bacteria, after children received continuous toothbrushing instruction, there were reductions in both Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus. Regarding toothbrushing time, the time increased in relation to the presence of instruction. Regarding Quigley Hein Index, the index decreased in the early and middle periods upon addition of instruction, then increased in the middle and later periods. Conclusions: Through persistent and repetitive toothbrushing instruction, healthy behavior can be positively established in children of preschool age; it is necessary to prepare institutional measures so opportunities for dental health education can be consistently provided and maintained. In the future, it will be necessary to conduct a follow-up study to verify the factors affecting toothbrushing time and volume of oral pathogens.

PURPOSES : This study examines the performance changes of road networks according to the strength of a disaster, and proposes a method for estimating the quantitative resilience according to the road-network performance changes and damage scale. This study also selected high-influence road sections, according to disasters targeting the road network, and aimed to analyze their hazard resilience from the network aspect through a scenario analysis of the damage recovery after a disaster occurred. METHODS : The analysis was conducted targeting Sejong City in South Korea. The disaster situation was set up using the TransCAD and VISSIM traffic-simulation software. First, the study analyzed how road-network damage changed the user's travel pattern and travel time, and how it affected the complete network. Secondly, the functional aspects of the road networks were analyzed using quantitative resilience. Finally, based on the road-network performance change and resilience, priority-management road sections were selected. RESULTS : According to the analysis results, when a road section has relatively low connectivity and low traffic, its effect on the complete network is insignificant. Moreover, certain road sections with relatively high importance can suffer a performance loss from major damage, for e.g., sections where bridges, tunnels, or underground roads are located, roads where no bypasses exist or they exist far from the concerned road, including entrances and exits to suburban areas. Relatively important roads have the potential to significantly degrade the network performance when a disaster occurs. Because of the high risk of delays or isolation, they may lead to secondary damage. Thus, it is necessary to manage the roads to maintain their performance. CONCLUSIONS : As a baseline study to establish measures for traffic prevention, this study considered the performance of a road network, selected high-influence road sections within the road network, and analyzed the quantitative resilience of the road network according to scenarios. The road users' passage-pattern changes were analyzed through simulation analysis using the User Equilibrium model. Based on the analysis results, the resilience in each scenario was examined and compared. Sections where a road's performance loss had a significant influence on the network were targeted. The study results were judged to become basic research data for establishing response plans to restore the original functions and performance of the destroyed and damage road networks, and for selecting maintenance priorities.

This paper describes the incidence and some epidemiological features of drowning accident out of a series of our study on the epidemiology of various accidents in Korea. By the daily press it is apparent from the frequent reporting of swimming accidents that the incidence would be high. In the rural areas, there are, at present, about 1,250 artificial lakes and farm ponds to be utlized for rice production. The reservoirs, irrigation ditches and riversides are also used for recreation. In most places facilities for aquatic activities is meager, and safety measures for the prevention of drowning is not sufficiently enforced. In the survey crude data on drownings were collected from the concerned governmental statistic books for the period 1955 to 1967 which were compiled not in a uniform way. Drownings were classfied into two categories, one is accidental drowning, E 929 and the other is due to cataclysm, E 934, according to the WHO international classification of diseases. Epidemiological variables in relation to drowning accident were obtained through qualitative analysis of informations from the popular news papers. The following summary may be drawn; 1. The average number of deaths due to accidental drowning totaled 1,088 annually and the mortality rate per 100,000 population was 3.4, The 42.0% of all drownings were rescued and the remaining were not saved. 2. The sex ratio (M/F) of the victims for all ages was 5 to 1, which had a wide range of difference among the age groups. The young ages less than 20 years occupied 68.0% of all deaths. 3. The percentage distribution of the causes of accidents revealed 31.9% for careless swimming, 45.5% for unskilled, 10.6% for swimmer's cramp and 6.0% for drunked. The distribution of places where accidents occurred showed 88.0% for rivers, water reservoirs, irrigation ditches and 12.0% for regular swimming pools. The seasonal distribution of cases indicated 85.0% of the total were seen during the summer months, June-August, and 50.0% of them occurred on Sundays, 4. The average annual deaths due to cataclysm were 402 and mortality rate per 100,000 population was 1.6, but the number of victims due to cataclysm varied greatly each year. 5. The accident cases due to cataclysm were classified into 60.0% for injuries, 40.0% for deaths. The 26.8% of all deaths were missing cases. 6. The deaths due to either accidental drowning or cataclysm totaled 1,490, and the death rate per 100,000 for the whole country was 5.0.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) is a very acute systemic disease in poultry, particularly in chickens and turkeys caused by HPAI viruses. An outbreak of HPAI caused by subtype H5N1, was first reported in a broiler breeder farm on December 10, 2003 in Korea, although there had been twenty one outbreaks of the disease reported in the world before. Since mid-December 2003, eight Asian countries have confirmed outbreaks of HPAI due to the same subtype. The outbreak has also resulted in at least twenty three fatal human cases in Vietnam and Thailand as of May 17, 2004 according to the WHO. Regarding the first outbreak of recent Asian HPAI, it has been suspected that some Asian countries with the exception of Korea and Japan veiled the fact of HPAI outbreaks since the last half of 2003, even though it was first reported in Korea. There have been total nineteen outbreaks of HPAI among chicken and duck farms in 10 provinces in Korea since Dec. 2003 and approximately 5,280,000 birds were slaughtered from 392 farms for eradication of the disease and preemptive culling. The origin of the H5Nl HPAI virus introduced into the country are unknown and still under epidemiological investigation. Current status of outbreaks and characteristics of HPAI will be reviewed and discussed on the basis of genetic, virological, clinicopathological, and ecological aspect, as well as future measures for surveillance and prevention of the disease in Korea.

정부는 교통사고 사상자를 절반으로 줄이기 위하여 생활권 보행자 안전 확보를 위한 안전대책을 선정하여 추진 중에 있다. 주요 추진내용을 살펴보면 중앙선 침범 및 무단횡단 예방을 위해 도심형 중앙분리대 설치기준 마련이 포함되어 있어 기준마련을 위한 연구가 매우 시급한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 보행자 및 중앙선 침범 교통사고 분석, 도심형 중앙분리대에 대한 형식 및 성능기준, 최소 횡단구성 연구를 통한 설치 기준에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 도시부 차량 불법유턴, 보행자 무단횡단 사고를 줄이고자 시선유도봉을 개조한 도심형 중앙분리대는 차량용 방호울타리의 강한 방호기능을 가질 수 없기 때문에 차량과의 충돌 후 파손되어 부재이탈이 발생하게 되면 2차 사고 등을 유발하게 되어 교통안전에 부(-)의 효과를 가져 올 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이에 주행안전성 측면을 고려해 볼 때 도심형 중앙분리대를 설치할 경우 중앙분리대 폭 1.0m 이상을 확보해야만 시설물 파손이나 차로 이탈을 방지할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 단, 부득이 도로 폭이 좁아 용지확보가 곤란한 경우 0.5m 이상 노면표시만 설치한 경우에 한해 도심형 중앙분리대의 설치를 할 수 있다. 또한 현재 중앙선 위에 시선유도봉이나 도심형 중앙분리대를 설치하는 것은 운전자 실수에 의한 중앙선 침범을 유발할 가능성이 높고 이로 인해 시설물 파손의 가능성이 높아 중앙선 위에는 표지병 이외의 시설물 설치를 금하는 것이 바람직하다.

2012년 8월 23일에 시행예정인 "해양경비법"은 해상에서의 경찰권 발동의 근거법을 제정했다는 점에서 그 의의가 있으나 다음과 같은 한계가 있다. 첫째로, 해양경찰의 조직법적 근거가 미약하다. 이는 행정조직 설치의 근거를 법률이 아니라 하부령인 대통령령과 국토해양부령에 위임하는 형태로 엄격한 의미에서 행정조직법정주의에 어긋나는 측면이 있다. 둘째로, "해양경비법" 제14조의 항해보호조치 규정은 이미 발생한 해상집단행동에 대한 조치 중심으로 기술되어 있으므로 사전예방적인 측면을 더 강화하여 "해상집회시위의 사전신고제", "해상집회시위의 금지구역설정" 등의 규정의 신설이 필요하다고 생각된다. 셋째로, "해양경비법" 제22조 과태료는 과중한 측면이 있다. 해양경찰의 해상검문검색에 대한 불응에 대하여 200만원을 부과하는 것은 과중한 편이다. 해상의 특수성을 인정하더라도 과중한 측면이 있으므로 100만원 정도를 부과하는 것이 합당할 것으로 생각된다. 넷째로, 해양경찰내에 자원관리부서를 신설하여 해양조사 및 자원관리 역량을 강화하고, 다른 기관의 해양조사선박을 지원하고, 해양경찰이 직접 조사할 필요성이 있으며, 주변국과 해양자원 관련사항을 발생한 경우 효율적 대응이 필요하다.

이 연구는 경비업무에 대한 경비요원의 인식을 빌딩내 근무하는 사원을 중심으로 실증 분석해보고 경비요원에게 업무성과의 향상을 위한 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 첫째, 경비요원의 활동에 대해 논의하였다. 둘째, 경비요원의 필요성에 대한 직장인들의 인식, 경비요원의 불필요성, 업무인식 향상을 위한 경비요원의 요건 대한 인식으로 연구틀을 설정하였다. 현재 생활의 경비업무 인식의 변화는 멈추지 않는 경제 발전과 다양해지는 직종에 비해 다소 뒤떨어지는 면이 있다. 지금에도 경비업무의 표현을 아직도 예전 시설물이나 아파트 등의 관리인이라는 인식을 가지고 있다. 다시 말해 아파트 수위라는 직종에서 경비로의 명칭 전환만이 이루어지는 정도로만 인식 한다고 할 수 있다. 지금의 직업군에서 경비업무는 시설관리, 다양한 통제 등 경호. 경비의 일환으로서 전문영역으로 자리 잡고 있으며 영역 확장이 되고 있다. 단순 붙박이 형식을 취하는 근무 형태가 아닌 사회에서 발생하는 여러 범죄행위의 분석과 예방을 목적으로 하고 다양하게 발생될 사고에 미연 방지하는 역할을 가지고 대안을 이끌어 내는 전문직이다. 경비업무에 대한 필요성을 극대화하기 위한 목적으로서 경비업무의 영역은 전문적인 경비요원의 배치, 경비요원의 업무 만족도의 배려, 급속도로 변하는 안전사고에 대한 예방 교육, 현장의 충실도를 갖추어야한다. 끊임없는 노력과 경비요원 스스로의 전문성 인식 고취로서 한층 세련된 경비업무 영역을 갖기를 기대한다.

일반적 사전적 의미에 의하면, 경호는 "경계하고 보호함"을 뜻하는 것으로, 이는 불의의 침입이나 다양한 사건 사고로부터 경계하여 경호대상자의 신변을 보호하는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 개념정의에서도 볼 수 있듯이 경호는 모두 위해행위로부터 보호하고자 하는 행위라고 할 수 있다. 경호위해행위는 본질적으로 형법상의 범죄행위의 개념 범주에서 논의되어질 수 있는 것이다. 형법상 행위를 본질로 하는 이러한 위해행위를 오늘날 주목되어지고 있는 뇌신경과학과 인지심리학에 기반을 둔 인지과학이라는 학문영역의 관점에서 재조명 해보고, 이러한 경호위해행위에 대한 분석을 과학적 예방적 사회안전 대책을 수립하기 위한 기초로서 삼고자 한다. 이를 위해 먼저 범죄행위를 그 본질로 하는 경호위해행위에 대해 경호학적 관점과 형법적 관점에서 검토고자 한다. 다음으로 경호위해행위도 인간행위의 한 형태이므로 이를 인지과학적 관점에서 분석하기에 앞서 인지과학이 행위에 대해 어떻게 이해하고 있는가를 소개하고자 한다. 마지막으로 이러한 행위에 대한 인지과학적 관점에 의해 경호위해행위를 분석하면서, 과학적 안전대책 수립을 위한 인지과학적 분석의 필요성을 논하고자 한다.

In recent years, there is growing concern about the potential use of biological agents in war or acts of terrorism accompanied an increased realization that rapid preparedness and response are needed to prevent or treat the human damage that can be caused by these agents. The threat is indeed serious, and the potential for devastating numbers of casualties is high. The use of agents as weapons, even on a small scale, has the potential for huge social and economic disruption and massive diversion of regional and national resources to combat the threat, to treat primary disease, and to clean up environmental contamination. Biological weapons are one of weapons of mass destruction (or mass casualty weapons, to be precise. since they do not damage non-living entities) that are based on bacteria, viruses, rickettsia, fungi or toxins produced by these organisms. Biological weapons are known to be easy and cheap to produce and can be used to selectively target humans, animals, or plants. Theses agents can cause large numbers of casualties with minimal logistical requirements (in wide area). The spread of disease cannot be controlled until there is awareness of the signs of infection followed by identification of agents; and if the organism is easily spread from person to person, as in the case of smallpox, the number of casualties could run into the tens of thousands. Biological weapons could be used covertly, there can be a lot of different deployment scenarios. A lot of different agents could be used in biological weapons. And, there are a lot of different techniques to manufacture biological weapons. Terrorist acts that make use of Biological Agents differ in a number of ways from those involving chemicals. The distinction between terrorist and military use of Biological Weapon is increasingly problematic. The stealthy qualities of biological weapons further complicate the distinction between terrorism and war. In reality, all biological attacks are likely to require an integrated response involving both military and civilian communities. The basic considerations when public health agencies establish national defence plan against bioterrorism must be 1) arraying various laws and regulations to meet the realistic needs, 2)education for public health personnels and support of concerned academic society, 3)information collection and cooperative project with other countries, 4)Detection and surveillance(Early detection is essential for ensuring a prompt response to biological or chemical attack, including the provision of prophylactic medicines, chemical antidotes, or vaccines) and 5) Response(A comprehensive public health response to a biological or chemical terrorist event involves epidemiologic investigation, medical treatment and prophylaxis for affacted persons, and the initiation of disease prevention or environmental decontamination measures). The purpose of this paper is providing basic material of preparedness and response for biological terrorism in modern society.
