최근 경주, 포항 등 국내에서 지진으로 인한 피해가 지속적으로 발생하면서, 우리나라가 더 이상 지진의 안전지대가 아니며 이에 대한 대비가 필요함을 알게 되는 계기가 되었다. 또한 내진설계 개념 도입 이전에 건설된 교량들은 적절한 보강 대책이 마련되지 않은 상태로 남아있는 실정으로 경제성과 구조적 안전성이 고려된 내진보강이 순차적으로 이루어져야한다. 기존 교량의 내진성능 예비평가는 교량이 위치한 지역의 지진세기를 고려한 지진도와 취약도 및 영향도를 고려하여 4개의 그룹으로 내진 그룹화하고 이를 통해 내진성능 상세평가를 위한 우선순위가 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 방법과 다르게 교량의 중요도와 취약조건, 도로교의 세부사항을 기준으로 선정하여 도로교의 내진 보강 우선순위를 결정하는 보다 간편하고 객관적인 알고리즘을 제안하고 이를 실제 교량에 적용하여 적합성을 확인하였다.

현재 적용되고 있는 평가체계는 1996년 개정되어 이후 4차례 개정을 실시하였으나, 구조적 안전성의 확보 목표에 국한된 평가체계로 인해 장기적 관점의 성능저하 예측 및 예산투입을 위한 우선순위 의사결정의 근거로 활용하기에는 부족하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 델파이 기법과 AHP기법을 활용하여 기존 도로터널의 여러 구조형식 중 재래식(ASSM) 터널의 성능평가에 적합한 평가체계를 새롭게 제시하고자 한다. 국 내외의 기존 평가체계 및 평가항목을 검토한 결과, 도출가능한 평가항목이 한정적인 것으로 판단되어 기존에 적용되고 있는 항목에 대한 폐쇄적인 설문과 새로운 항목 도출을 위한 개방형 설문을 병행하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사한 설문결과를 내용타당도 검증을 거쳐 재래식(ASSM)터널에 적합한 성능평가인자를 도출하였으며, AHP기법을 활용하여 도출된 평가항목에 대한 가중치를 산정한 후 구조물의 특성에 맞는 성능평가 체계를 새롭게 제시하여, 향후 성능평가 세부지침 수정 및 보완 시 참고자료로 활용될 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

Background: Goal-oriented communication of risk of hazards is necessary in order to reduce risk of workers' exposure to chemicals. Adequate training of workers and enterprise priority setting are essential elements. Cleaning enterprises have many challenges and the existing paradigms influence the risk levels of these enterprises. Methods: Information on organization and enterprises' prioritization in training programs was gathered from cleaning enterprises. A measure of enterprises' conceptual level of importance of chemical health hazards and a model for working out the risk index (RI) indicating enterprises' conceptual risk level was established and used to categorize the enterprises. Results: In 72.3% of cases, training takes place concurrently with task performances and in 67.4% experienced workers conduct the trainings. There is disparity between employers' opinion on competence level of the workers and reality. Lower conceptual level of importance was observed for cleaning enterprises of different sizes compared with regional safety delegates and occupational hygienists. Risk index values show no difference in risk level between small and large enterprises. Conclusion: Training of cleaning workers lacks the prerequisite for suitability and effectiveness to counter risks of chemical health hazards. There is dereliction of duty by management in the sector resulting in a lack of competence among the cleaning workers. Instituting acceptable easily attainable safety competence level for cleaners will conduce to risk reduction, and enforcement of attainment of the competence level would be a positive step.

With the broad adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) in a variety of scenarios and application services, management and orchestration entities require upgrading the traditional architecture and develop intelligent models with ultra-reliable methods. In a heterogeneous network environment, mission-critical IoT applications are significant to consider. With erroneous priorities and high failure rates, catastrophic losses in terms of human lives, great business assets, and privacy leakage will occur in emergent scenarios. In this paper, an efficient resource slicing scheme for optimizing federated learning in software-defined IoT (SDIoT) is proposed. The decentralized support vector regression (SVR) based controllers predict the IoT slices via packet inspection data during peak hour central congestion to achieve a time-sensitive condition. In off-peak hour intervals, a centralized deep neural networks (DNN) model is used within computation-intensive aspects on fine-grained slicing and remodified decentralized controller outputs. With known slice and prioritization, federated learning communications iteratively process through the adjusted resources by virtual network functions forwarding graph (VNFFG) descriptor set up in software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) enabled architecture. To demonstrate the theoretical approach, Mininet emulator was conducted to evaluate between reference and proposed schemes by capturing the key Quality of Service (QoS) performance metrics.

Owing to time and cost constraints, new methods that would make it possible to evaluate the safety of the water supply pipeline in a less time- and cost-consuming manner are urgently needed. In response to this exigency, the present study developed a new statistical model to assess the safety of the water supply pipeline using the quantification theory type II. In this research, the safety of the water supply pipeline was defined as 'a possibility of the pipeline failure'. Quantification analysis was conducted on the qualitative data, such as pipe material, coating, and buried condition. The results of analyses demonstrate that the hit ratio of the quantification function amounted to 77.8% of hit ratio, which was a fair value. In addition, all variables that were included in the quantification function were logically valid and demonstrated statistically significant. According to the results derived from the application of the safety evaluation model, the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) between K-region's water supply pipeline safety and the safety inspection amounted to 0.80. Therefore, these findings provide meaningful insight for the measured values in real applications of the model. The results of the present study can also be meaningfully used in further research on safety evaluation of pipelines, establishing of renewal prioritization, as well as asset management planning of the water supply infrastructure.

Antalya is located south part of minor Asia, one of the biggest cities in Türkiye. As a result of population growth and vast migration to Antalya, many parts of the city that were not suitable for construction due to its geological conditions have become urban areas, and most of these urban areas are full of poorly engineered buildings. Poor engineering has been combined with unplanned urbanization, that causes utter vulnerability to disasters in Antalya. When an earthquake-prone city, Antalya faces with an earthquake risk, fear arises in society. To overcome this problem, it has become necessary to investigate the building stock, expressed in hundreds of thousands, in a fast and reliable way and then perform an urban transformation to create the perception of structural safety. However, the excessive building stock, labor, and economic problems made the implementation stage challenging and revealed the necessity of finding alternative solutions in the field. The present study presents a novel approach for assessment and model based on a rapid visual inspection method to transform areas under earthquake risk in Türkiye. The approach aimed to rank the interventions for decision-making mechanisms by making comparisons in the scale hierarchy. In the present study, to investigate the proposed approach, over 26,000 buildings were examined in Antalya, which is the fifth largest city in Türkiye that has a population of over 2.5 Million. In the results of the study, the risk classification was defined in the framework of building, block, street, neighborhood, and district scales.

Cervical cancer (CaCx) is the second most fatal cancer contributing to 14% of cancers in Indian females, which account for 25.4% and 26.5% of the global burden of CaCx prevalence and mortality, respectively. Persistent infection with high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV- strains 16 and 18) is the most important risk factor for precursors of invasive CaCx. Comprehensive prevention strategies for CaCx should include screening and HPV vaccination. Three screening modalities for CaCx are cytology, visual inspection with acetic acid, and HPV testing. There is no Indian national policy on CaCx prevention, and screening of asymptomatic females against CaCx is practically non-existent. HPV vaccines can make a major breakthrough in the control of CaCx in India which has high disease load and no organized screening program. Despite the Indian Government's effort to introduce HPV vaccination in the National Immunization Program and bring down vaccine cost, challenges to implementing vaccination in India are strong such as: inadequate epidemiological evidence for disease prioritization, duration of vaccine use, parental attitudes, and vaccine acceptance. This paper reviews the current epidemiology of CaCx and HPV in India, and the current status of HPV vaccination in the country. This article stresses the need for more research in the Indian context, to evaluate interventions for CaCx and assess their applicability, success, scalability and sustainability within the constraints of the Indian health care system.

본 논문은 3종 및 법정 외 교량인 중소규모 교량에 대한 유지관리 체계를 수립하여 제안하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 국내 교량은 1, 2종 교량과 3종 및 법정 외 교량으로 구분된다. 3종 및 법정외 교량의 개소수는 많으나 1, 2종 교량에 비해 상대적으로 중요도가 낮은 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 중소규모 교량에 대한 유지관리 시나리오 체계를 수립하고자 한다. 하지만 중소규모 교량의 경우 그 개소수가 많아 1, 2종 교량과 같이 모든 교량에 대해 성능평가를 실시하는데 인력과 예산의 문제가 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 리스크 매트릭스 기법을 기반으로 교량의 기본적인 현황정보를 이용하여 현재 성능평가가 우선적으로 수행되어야할 교량을 선정하기 위한 기법을 개발하였으며, 개발된 기법에 대하여 실제 공용중인 교량을 대상으로 적용하였다.

해상 유통되는 유해액체물질(NLS)의 유출사고대비 물질군 선정을 위해 596종의 NLS를 대상으로 위해성 DB를 구축하고 우선 순위 선정시스템을 통해 전체 우선순위를 선정하였다. 우선순위 목록을 바탕으로 2014-2015년 해상유통물질 158종을 추출한 뒤 물질군 구분 기준을 적용하여 0~3순위의 4개 물질군을 제시하였다. 국가차원의 NLS 유출사고대비를 위해서는 물동량 및 유해성이 높은 0~1순위 물질군의 집중관리와 함께 2~3순위 물질군의 정보 구축작업이 지속되어야 한다. 항만별로는 NLS 유통 유형이 다르므로 각 항만의 물질별 유통특성을 파악한 뒤 0~1순위 물질군 위주로 관리하는 것이 효율적일 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 동해남부권역(울산, 부산), 남해중부권역(광양, 여수), 서해중부권역(평택, 대산, 인천)을 NLS 사고대비를 위한 특별관리구역으로 지정하여 해상유통되는 NLS 의 감시 감독을 강화하고 방제 장비, 자재 및 약제를 집중 배치해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 향후, 위해성 DB의 구축과정에서 나타난 위해성 정보 부재 물질들의(만성독성) 지속적인 생산 및 보완이 필요하며, 특히 수생태 독성의 경우 해양생물종을 대상으로 한 자료 생산 및 확보가 지속되어야 할 것이다. 또한, 해상 HNS 사고 관리를 위해서는 HNS 해상유통에 대한 정보를 확인할 수 있는 시스템이 조속히 구축되어야 한다.
