Purpose: The occurrence ranks of failure modes can come from the real failure but the severity ranks of failure modes require a highly subjective point of view of users. The severity ranks have to find more objective and scientific values. Methods: We found the optimal values by using the correlation analysis between failure mode effects and the criticality number like RPN (Risk Priority Number) in RCM. Result: This paper shows the result that verified whether the weighted values on each failure effect in criticality number calculation is suitable to the actual failures or not. To get the verification, it used the 5 year data and correlation analysis. Based on the analyzed result, We proposed the more suitable values. Conclusion: This correlation analysis approach can provide guidance of RCM analysis across many industries and situations.

미생물 위해성 평가 방법론을 이용하여 살모넬라 발생 수를 추정하고, 기존의 연구 결과와 비교하여 그 활용 가능성에 대해 알아보았다. 살모넬라균의 오염수준은 국내에 발표된 각종 문헌(1997∼2000)과 관련 기관의 모니터링 자료(1999∼2001)를 수집하여 추정하였고, 식품 섭취 량은 2001 국민건강영양조사, 용량-반응 모델은 외국에서 발표된 연구 결과를 이용하였다. 각 변수를 시뮬레이션을 통해 추정한 결과 1년 동안 국내에서 발생 가능한 살모넬라 환자 수는 753,368명으로 나타났는데, 이는 보고된 환자수의 약 115배로 WHO의 추정배수보다는 낮은 결과를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 볼 때, 미생물 위해성 평가 방법은 식중독 발생 환자 수를 추정하고 식중독 관리에 있어서의 우선순위를 결정하는 데 이용이 가능한 것으로 보인다. 그러나 아직까지 검증 방법이 확립되어 있지 않고, 식중독균의 오염농도, 식품 섭취량, 용량-반응 관계, 유통ㆍ보관ㆍ조리 등의 실태에 관한 연구가 좀더 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Transmission of tuberculosis (TB) is a recognized risk to patients and healthcare workers in healthcare settings. The literature review suggests that implementation of combination control measures reduces the risk of TB transmission. Guidelines suggest a three-level hierarchy of controls including administrative, environmental, and respiratory protection. Among environmental controls, installation of ventilation systems is a priority because ventilation reduces the number of infectious particles in the air. Natural ventilation is cost-effective but depends on climatic conditions. Supplemented intervention such as air-cleaning methods including high efficiency particulate air filtration and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation should be considered in areas where adequate ventilation is difficult to achieve. Personal protective equipment including particulate respirators provides additional benefit when administrative and environmental controls cannot assure protection.

Determination of earthquake-safety of existing buildings requires a rather long and challenging process both in terms of time and expertise. In order to prevent such a tedious process, rather rapid methods for evaluating buildings were developed. The purpose of these rapid methods is to determine the buildings that have priority in terms of risk and accordingly to minimize the number of buildings to be inspected. In these rapid evaluation methods detailed information and inspection are not required. Among these methods the Canadian Seismic scanning method and the first stage evaluation method included in the principles concerning the determination of risk-bearing buildings promulgated by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization in Turkey are used in the present study. Within the scope of this study, six reinforced concrete buildings damaged in Van earthquakes in Turkey are selected. The performance scores of these buildings are calculated separately with the mentioned two methods, and then compared. The purpose of the study is to provide information on these two methods and to set forth the relation they have between them in order to manifest the international validity.

Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a widely used engineering tool in the fields of the design of a product or a process to improve its quality or performance by prioritizing potential failure modes in terms of three risk factors-severity, occurrence, and detection. In a classical FMEA, the risk priority number is obtained by multiplying the three values in 10 score scales which are evaluated for the three risk factors. However, the drawbacks of the classical FMEA have been mentioned by many previous researchers. As a way to overcome these difficulties, this paper suggests the ELECTRE III that is a representative technique among outranking models. Furthermore, fuzzy linguistic variables are included to deal with ambiguous and imperfect evaluation process. In addition, when the importances for the three risk factors are obtained, the entropy method is applied. The numerical example which was previously studied by Kutlu and Ekmekio$\breve{g}$lu(2012), who suggested the fuzzy TOPSIS method along with fuzzy AHP, is also adopted so as to be compared with the results of their research. Finally, after comparing the results of this study with that of Kutlu and Ekmekio$\breve{g}$lu(2012), further possible researches are mentioned.

We investigated the distribution of HPV genotypes in Uyghur women in Xinjiang region of China, and behavioral factors which could predispose them to HPV infection. In this cross-sectional study, women aged 15-59 years were recruited by cluster sampling method in Yutian region in 2009. Liquid-based cytology samples were analyzed centrally for HPV genotype with a linear array detector. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify behavioral risk factors for HPV infection. A total of 883 Uyghur women were recruited successfully. The prevalence of high-risk HPV and low-risk HPV were 7.25% and 1.58%, respectively; the most common HPVs were HPV16, 51, 31, 39 and 58. We found that age of first sexual intercourse was a strong predictor for HPV infection (odds ratio of 4.01 for ${\leq}15$ years versus ${\geq}25$). Having sexual partners ${\geq}3$ was the second predictor (OR 3.69, 95% CI 2.24-7.16). Cleaning the vagina after sex showed an increased risk of HPV infection (OR 2.72; 95% CI 1.98-5.13); Using the condom showed protective factors for HPV infection (OR 0.36; 95%CI0.12-0.53). HPV16, 51, 31, 39 and 58 were the priority types; the age of first sexual intercourse was identified as a major risk factor for HPV infection. Other notable risks were number of sexual partners and cleaning the vagina after sex. Changing these behavioral risk factors could help to reduce the occurrence of cervical cancer in this population.

Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are both on the rise in Malaysia. A multi-centric case-control study was conducted from December 2009 to January 2011 to determine any relationship between the two. Methods: Patients with confirmed CRC based on colonoscopy findings and cancer free controls from five local hospitals were assessed for MetS according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definition. Each index case was matched for age, gender and ethnicity with two controls (140: 280). Results: MetS among cases was highly prevalent (70.7%), especially among women (68.7%). MetS as an entity increased CRC risk by almost three fold independently (OR=2.61, 95%CI=1.53-4.47). In men MetS increased the risk of CRC by two fold (OR=2.01, 95%CI, 1.43-4.56), demonstrating an increasing trend in risk with the number of Mets components observed. Conclusion: This study provides evidence fora positive association between the metabolic syndrome and colorectal cancer. A prospective study on the Malaysian population is a high priority to confirm these findings.

Following the Fukushima accident, portable equipment employed as accident mitigating systems have been installed and operated to reduce core damage and large early release frequencies. In addition, the establishment of an accident management strategy has gained importance. This study investigated the current status of portable equipment including the international portable equipment FLEX (diverse and flexible coping strategies), and domestic portable equipment multi-barrier accident coping strategy (MACST). Research on optimal utilization of MACST remains insufficient. As a preliminary study for establishing an optimal strategy, sensitivity studies were conducted to facilitate the priority of use on portable equipment, number of portable equipment, and dependency of operator actions based on a multi-unit probabilistic safety assessment model. The results revealed the conditions that reduced the multi-unit and site conditional core damage probabilities, indicating the optimal strategy of MACST. The results of this study can be used as a reference for establishing an optimal strategy that utilizes domestic safety equipment in the future.

품질보증활동은 양산단계에서 위험 식별을 기반으로 품질에 영향을 주는 인자를 확인할 수 있다. 위험 식별은 고장 분석을 통해 이루어지며, 회전익 항공기 착륙장치에 대한 고장 분석 방법은 고장 유형 영향 분석(FMEA)으로 선정하였다. FMEA는 고장 유형에 대해서 심각도, 발생도, 검출도에 대한 정보를 결합하여 품질에 영향을 미치는 인자를 확인하는 방법이다. FMEA 결과는 위험도를 통해 고장 우선순위를 결정한다. 하지만 심각도, 발생도, 검출도에 대한 중요도는 동일하게 구성된다. Dempster-Shafer 증거 이론은 경험과 주관이 반영된 의견에 대해서 불확실성 분석을 수행한다. 또한, Dempster-Shafer 증거 이론은 믿음 함수와 개연성 함수를 구성할 수 있으며, 믿음 함수와 개연성 함수를 통해 가설의 믿음 정도, 신뢰도를 확인할 수 있다. 회전익 항공기 착륙장치는 이륙 및 착륙 시 충격을 받는 구성품으로, 양산단계에서 고장 유형을 관리하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 회전익 항공기 착륙장치의 고장 유형에 대한 위험도 분석을 위해 Dempster-Shafer 증거 이론을 이용한 FMEA를 제안하고, 고장 우선순위를 결정한다. 결과는 믿음 함수 및 개연성 함수 곡선을 통해 도출한다.
