컴퓨터 비전 기술이 위성영상에 적용되면서, 최근 들어 딥러닝 영상인식을 이용한 구름 탐지가 관심을 끌고 있다. 본연구에서는 SPARCS (Spatial Procedures for Automated Removal of Cloud and Shadow) Cloud Dataset과 영상자료증대 기법을 활용하여 U-Net 구름탐지 모델링을 수행하고, 10폴드 교차검증을 통해 객관적인 정확도 평가를 수행하였다. 512×512 화소로 구성된 1800장의 학습자료에 대한 암맹평가 결과, Accuracy 0.821, Precision 0.847, Recall 0.821, F1-score 0.831, IoU (Intersection over Union) 0.723의 비교적 높은 정확도를 나타냈다. 그러나 구름그림자 중 14.5%, 구름 중 19.7% 정도가 땅으로 잘못 예측되기도 했는데, 이는 학습자료의 양과 질을 보다 더 향상시킴으로써 개선 가능할 것으로 보인다. 또한 최근 각광받고 있는 DeepLab V3+ 모델이나 NAS(Neural Architecture Search) 최적화 기법을 통해 차세대중형위성 1, 2, 4호 등의 구름탐지에 활용 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

생태복원은 문제가 있는 생태적 공간을 진단하고, 온전한 자연을 분석하여 얻은 정보를 바탕으로 훼손된 생태계를 치유하여 본래의 모습과 유사한 건강한 모습으로 되돌려놓는 생태기술이다. 성공적인 복원을 이루기 위해서는 일련의 절차를 존중하여 사업이 추진되어야 한다. 그러나 국내에서 진행되는 복원사업은 진단평가에 관계없이 적극적인 복원 위주로 추진하여 비용과 에너지를 낭비하고 효과는 크지 않다. 대조생태정보가 활용되지 않아 훼손된 자연을 되돌리기 위한 생태복원이 자연의 모습과 크게 다른 모습을 연출하며 또 다른 훼손을 유발하고 있다. 복원효과가 평가되지 않아 성공여부를 판단할 수 없어 사업이 계속되어도 발전이 없고 효과도 없다. 그러나 선진사회는 이러한 절차를 존중하여 학문적 진전을 이루어낸 것은 물론 생태복원이 하나의 산업으로 자리 잡아 환경을 개선하는 것은 물론 경제적 측면에서도 큰 효과를 거두고 있다. 따라서 국제사회는 생태복원을 기후변화를 비롯해 지구적 차원의 환경문제를 해결할 수 있는 중요한 수단으로 인식하여 국제기구가 중심이 되어 상처입은 지구를 치료하기 위한 사업을 활발하게 추진해 나가고 있다. 그러나 국내에서 추진된 복원사업은 효과 평가 결과 대부분 수준 이하로 평가되었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이러한 수준을 향상시키는데 중요한 기여를 할 수 있는 생태복원을 하나의 새로운 산업으로 정립하기 위한 계획을 수준 낮은 사업을 주도해 온 당사자들이 가로막고 있어 문제를 더욱 악화시키고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 사전과 사후로 구분하여 엄정하고 바른 사업 평가 제도를 도입하여 불량사업을 걸러낼 필요가 있다. 나아가 생태복원을 하나의 산업으로 신설하여 그 과정을 시장의 원리에 맡길 필요가 있다.

Recently it also became an essential issue. in hospital management, recognized for it's competitive potentiality among healthcare organization groups. This study was conducted to analyze patient complaints and issues received by the Quality Improvement Department. Its purpose is to improve healthcare qualities within the hospital, as well as establish policies and appropriate strategies in hospital management. Method : From July 1st to September 30th of the year 1999, we analyzed all complaints and issues made by various patients and their families, which were received through 24 hour phone consultation, numerous suggestion boxes, letters and E-mails, The issues were classified into 16 different categories based on a Patient Satisfaction Assessment Tool. All data were segregated according to the departmental frequencies and their contents. To come up with for environmental and patient satisfaction improvement, all complaints or issues were communicated with hospital administrators, medical and nursing staff and employees. Comprehensive customer satisfaction activities including improving phone etiquette were discussed in Customer Satisfaction Team, CQI Team and each Department. All opportunities for improvement were implemented. Feedback actions were discussed. Results : A total of 317 cases were collected. Issues regarding parking and other accommodation facilities were most common complaints that were 14.5% of total. Issues regarding admission rooms (10.7%), admission procedures (10.7%), waiting room environment (8.8%), nurses and nurse assistants (7.6%), physicians (6.6%) and others (23%) followed. Thirteen of 45 departments received more than 8 complaints. The Nursing Department had the most complaint, receiving 9.8% of total complaints. Complaints regarding the Nursing Department were predominantly related to the environment of patient rooms. The Department of Psychiatry for phone etiquette (4.7%), Department of Otolaryngology for the nursing staff's attitude and phone etiquette (4.4%), and the Admission Department followed. As a part of efforts to improve patient satisfaction, a new parking structure was built and reallocation of the parking space was done. Renovation of other accommodation facilities were carried out by hospital administration, Monthly phone call and answering attitude survey was done by QI Department. Based on this survey we made a phone etiquette manual and distributed throughout the hospital.

The embryos of marine bivalves have been commonly used in bioassays for the quality assessment of marine environments. Although several standard protocols for developmental bioassay with bivalves have been already proposed, there have been few trials for applying these protocols in environmental assessment, or for developing new protocol with Korean species. So, there is a strong need to establish the standard bioassay protocols using bivalves commonly found in Korean waters. Prior to developing a new protocol, it is essential to know the optimum conditions for the reliable bioassay procedures. Here, we established the purpose of this study to determine the optimum bioassay conditions for successful development of a common mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis. The conditions considered as critical for developmental bioassay, and determined in this study were; (1) temperature, (2) salinity, and (3) initial density of embryo. The optimal temperature for developmental bioassay of M. galloprovincialis was determined as $15^{\circ}C$. At this temperature, the required time for the embryo to become veliger larva was 48 hr. The acceptable range of salinity for the embryotoxicity test using M. galloprivincialis was from 30 to 35 psu, which was narrower than that of the natural habitat of adult populations. The optimum density of embryo at the beginning of bioassay was 100 embryos/ml. Over this density, the proportion of normally developed larvae decreased significantly. The results obtained in this study will serve as a basis for preparation of the standard bioassay protocol using embryo of M. galloprovincialis.

Almost all companies have paid much attention to the safety management ranging from maintenance to operation even at the stage of designing in order to prevent accidents, but fatal accidents continue to increase throughout the world. In particular, it is essential to systematically prevent such fatal accidents as fire, explosion or leakage of toxic gas at factories in order to not only protect the workers and neighbors but also prevent economic losses and environmental pollution. Though it is well known that accident probability is very low in NPP(Nuclear Power Plants), the reason why many researches are still being performed about the accidents is the results may be so severe. HRA is the main process to make preparation for possibility of human error in designing of the NPP. But those techniques have some problems and limitation as follows; the evaluation sensitivity of those techniques are out of date. And the evaluation of human error is not coupled with the design process. Additionally, the scope of the human error which has to be included in reliability assessment should be expanded. This work focuses on the coincidence of human error and mechanical failure for some important performance shaping factors to propose a method for improving safety effectively of the process industries. In order to apply in these purposes into the thesis, I found 63 critical Performance Shaping Factors of the eight dimensions throughout studies that I executed earlier. In this study, various analysis of opinion of specialists(Personal Factors, Training, Knowledge or Experience, Procedures and Documentation, Information, Communications, HMI, Workplace Design, Quality of Environment, Team Factors) and the guideline for construction of PSF were accomplished. The selected method was AHP which simplifies objective conclusions by maintaining consistency. This research focused on the implementation process of PSF to evaluate the process of PSF at each phase. As a result, we propose an evaluation model of PSF as a tool to find critical problem at each phase and improve on how to resolve the problems found at each phase. This evaluation model makes it possible to extraction of PSF succesfully by presenting the basis of assessment which will be used by enterprises to minimize the trial and error of construction process of PSF.

위장조영검사(UGIS)의 품질관리(quality control)를 위해 우리나라를 대표하는 종합검진기관 21곳에서 수검자 105명에 대한 위장조영촬영 영상 표본을 획득하였다. 표본 영상을 두 나라의 위장조영검사 화질평가표에 의해 각각 평가한 결과 우리나라 화질평가표(Image Quality Evaluation Table; IQET)에 의한 평균점수는 73.3점에 표준 오차 4.49로 21개 검진기관 중 19개 기관이 적격 판정을 받았다. 이에 반해 일본의 화질평가표에 의한 평균점수는 58점에 표준오차 4.45로 적격판정을 받은 기관은 불과 8곳 밖에 되질 않았다. 동일한 영상을 다른 평가표로 평가한 결과에 큰 차이를 보였다. 원인을 알아보기 위해 화질 평가표를 각각 항목별로 분석하여 위 전체영역의 묘출확인과 촬영기술에 대한 문제점을 파악하였고 획득된 영상으로 각 종합검진기관의 위장조영검사의 실태를 분석하였다. 우리나라 위장조영검사의 가장 큰 문제점은 명확한 검진방법 없이 검사가 시행되고 있다는 점이었다. 종합검진기관 21곳 모두 위장조영촬영방법이 모두 다를 뿐더러 앞벽 이중조영 촬영은 대부분 시행하지 않고 있었고 우리나라 화질 평가표에 포함하도록 명시된 점막상이나 식도영상을 포함하지 않는 종합검진기관도 있었다. 또한 체위에 따른 중복촬영이 시행되고 있어 수검자에 대한 무분별한 피폭선량에 대한 문제도 발생하고 있었다. 이에 적절한 위장조영검사의 품질관리를 통해 진단정보가 충분한 영상을 획득할 수 있도록 노력해야 할 것이다.
