  • 최근 MANET 응용이 다양화 되면서 MANET 라우팅 보안 및 신뢰성 있는 인증기법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. MANET의 독립적인 네트워크 구성은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경의 중요한 관심분야이며, 세션키를 이용한 인증기법은 이미 신뢰성이 확보된 인증기법으로 MANET에 적용시 안전성과 효율성이 제공된다. 하지만 MANET 환경의 대부분의 모델들은 안전성이 보장된다는 가정 하에 진행되고 있으며, 실제 네트워크 상황에 적용 시 다양한 위협요소를 배제할 수 없다. 이에 본 연구는 MANET 환경의 세션키 인증기법의 안전성과 효율성을 증명하기 위해 무작위로 추출된 악의적인 이동노드를 추가하여 실험 및 분석을 한다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to build a model to predict the fall prevention behavior of nurses in small and medium sized hospitals. Methods: Participants were 382 nurses from 13 hospitals who responded to the structured self-reported questionnaire. The research model was based on previous study of fall prevention, theory of planned behavior, and the health belief model. Results: The modified model generally showed higher levels than recommended level of model fit indices and acceptable explanation. Of 17 hypothetical paths, 14 were supported. Predicting variables explained 51.6% of fall prevention behavior. The fall prevention behavior of nurses showed a direct influence of fall prevention expectations, fall prevent threats, perceived behavioral control for fall prevention, and intention to prevent falls and an indirect of influence of patient safety culture, attitude toward fall prevention, and the subjective norm. Conclusion: Findings show a need to identify a range of barrier factors to increase the benefits of fall prevention behavior and enhance the perceived control of fall prevention so that nurses will be able to promote fall prevention behavior in hospitals. Also, it is critical to increase awareness of patient safety culture among nurses.

  • Background: Despite a growing number of investigations exploring the health problems in precarious workers, there is still a paucity of studies investigating workplace violence in workers with multi-party employment arrangements (WMPEAs). This study was aimed at comparing the prevalence of workplace violence between non-WMPEA and WMPEA. Methods: The 5th Korean Working Conditions Survey data were used. The study subjects were employees aged 20-74, with 26,239 non-WMPEA and 1,556 WMPEA. WMPEA included temporary agency workers and workers providing outsourced services. Workplace violence including verbal abuse, unwanted sexual attention, threats, and humiliating behaviors were used as outcome variables. The odds ratios of risk of workplace violence were calculated using multiple logistic regression. Results: The age-standardized prevalence of workplace violence was significantly higher among WMPEA. After adjusting for all covariates, the risk of workplace violence among WMPEA was still significant (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.5-2.2) compared with non-WMPEA. The odds ratio of workplace violence among female WMPEA was 1.99 (95% CI 1.53-2.59), which is higher than that of male WMPEA (OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.18-1.96). Conclusion: We found that WMPEA were exposed to higher risk of workplace violence. Discrimination against WMPEA in the working environment and management policy need to be corrected. It is also necessary to identify the risk factors of workplace violence in WMPEA and to make efforts to prevent violence.

  • According to the COVID-19, development of various medical software based on IoT(Internet of Things) was accelerated. Especially, interest in a central software system that can remotely monitor and control ventilators is increasing to solve problems related to the continuous increase in severe COVID-19 patients. Since medical device software is closely related to human life, this study aims to develop central monitoring system that can remotely monitor and control multiple ventilators in compliance with medical device software development standards and to verify performance of system. In addition, to ensure the safety and reliability of this central monitoring system, this study also specifies risk management requirements that can identify hazardous situations and evaluate potential hazards and confirms the implementation of cybersecurity to protect against potential cyber threats, which can have serious consequences for patient safety. As a result, we obtained medical device software manufacturing certificates from MFDS(Ministry of Food and Drug Safety) through technical documents about performance verification, risk management and cybersecurity application.

  • In the paper of 'Natural Selection Favors AIs over Humans,' Dan Hendrycks applies principles of Darwinian evolution to forecast potential trajectories of AI development. He proposes that competitive pressures within corporate and military realms could lead to AI replacing human roles and exhibiting self-interested behaviors. However, such claims carry the risk of oversimplifying the complex issues of competition and natural selection without clear criteria for judging whether AI is selfish or altruistic, necessitating a more in-depth analysis and critique. Other studies, such as ''The Threat of AI and Our Response: The AI Charter of Ethics in South Korea,' offer diverse opinions on the natural selection of artificial intelligence, examining major threats that may arise from AI, including AI's value judgment and malicious use, and emphasizing the need for immediate discussions on social solutions. Such contemplation is not merely a technical issue but also significant from an ethical standpoint, requiring thoughtful consideration of how the development of AI harmonizes with human welfare and values. It is also essential to emphasize the importance of cooperation between artificial intelligence and humans. Hendrycks's work, while speculative, is supported by historical observations of inevitable evolution given the right conditions, and it prompts deep contemplation of these issues, setting the stage for future research focused on AI safety, regulation, and ethical considerations.

  • Background: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the most common causes of seafood-borne illnesses in Korea, either directly or indirectly, by consuming infected seafood. Many studies have demonstrated the antibiotic susceptibility profile of V. parahaemolyticus. This strain has developed multiple antibiotic resistance, which has raised serious public health and economic concerns. This article reviews the food-borne outbreaks, distributions, virulence, and antibiotic resistance profiles of V. parahaemolyticus in Korea during 2003-2016. Main body: V. parahaemolyticus infections appeared to be seasonally dependent, because 69.7% of patient infections occurred in both August and September during 2003-2016. In addition, the occurrence of V. parahaemolyticus in marine environments varies seasonally but is particularly high in July, August, and September. V. parahaemolyticus isolated from aquaculture sources on the Korean coast varied in association with virulence genes, some did not possess either the tdh (thermostable direct hemolysin) or trh (tdh-related hemolysin) genes, and a few were positive for only the trh gene or both genes. The high percentage of ampicillin resistance against V. parahaemolyticus in the aquatic environment suggests that ampicillin cannot be used to effectively treat infections caused by this organism. Short conclusion: This study shows that the observed high percentage of multiple antibiotic resistance to V. parahaemolyticus is due to conventionally used antibiotics. Therefore, monitoring the antimicrobial resistance patterns at a national level and other solutions are needed to control aquaculture infections, ensure seafood safety, and avoid threats to public health caused by massive misuse of antibiotics.

  • Aviation's safety record continues to improve yearly, especially with respect to passenger and crew injuries and deaths. However, although the number of accidents has decreased over the decades, there are still many events, such as landings short of the runway and runway excursions, both of which pose threats to passenger and crew safety. Surviving any kind of aviation accident depends on the physiological threat and stress of the impact(s), the extent to which the physical structure surrounding the passengers and crew remains intact, and the ability of the passengers and crew to be able to escape the wreckage. The one action that both passengers and crew can carry out to help decrease the likelihood of crash-related injury or death is to assume an emergency brace position. Doing so has been demonstrated over several decades to improve survivability. While cabin crew are taught (and then might have to teach passengers in an emergency about the emergency brace position), passengers in many parts of the world never learn about the brace position unless they are involved in an emergency in which there is time to prepare for the landing. This lack of provision of information is related to the fact that most airlines do not provide information in the preflight safety briefing and some do not even provide the information in the passenger safety cards. Many countries do not require their airlines to do so, a fact, which in turn, is related to the lack of mention of the brace position in ICAO's Annex 6. Until standards and recommended practices are changed at the highest world level, passengers will continue to be deprived of this vital, life-saving information that they can use, potentially to help save their own lives.

  • 최근 지능정보사회로의 진입으로 인해, 사이버보안 패러다임이 변화하기 시작하였다. 특히 지능정보사회의 상호연결성 등의 증가는 사이버위협으로 인한 피해 범위를 실제 세계까지 확대하였으며, 개개인에 대한 위험이 곧 공공 안전·국가 안보 등의 위기로 연결되고 있다. 특히 디지털 네이티브(Digital Native)세대인 청소년의 경우는 사이버 활동이 많고 보안 및 안전의식이 충분치 않아 사이버위협에 그대로 노출 될 가능성이 더욱 크다. 이에 사이버위협으로부터 개인 스스로를 지키고 사이버활동을 관리할 수 있는 사이버보안 역량 강화가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사이버보안 역량을 강화할 수 있는 사이버보안 정규교육화에 대해 검토하고 대응방안을 제시하고자 한다. 초연결사회 특성에 따른 보안 패러다임 변화와 사이버보안 교육의 필요성에 대해 검토하고 국내외 사이버보안 교육 추진 현황에 대한 분석을 통해 사이버보안 교육 방향 및 기본 체계를 제시하고자 한다. 이에 본 연구는 지능정보사회에서 요구되는 사이버보안역량을 정의하고 사이버보안역량 함양에 관한 주요국 교육체계를 비교·분석하여 사이버보안역량 강화를 위한 정규교육과정을 제안하고자 하였다. 이에 디지털시민으로서의 사이버역량 체계 모델인 C3-Matrix를 반영하여 사이버보안역량 체계를 사이버인식(cyber ethics awareness), 사이버행동(cyber ethics behavior), 사이버보안(cyber security), 사이버안전(cyber safety)로 구성하였다. 그리고 사이버보안역량 체계 기본구성틀에 기반하여 미국, 호주, 일본, 한국에서 수행되는 관련 교육을 비교분석하고 한국 교육과정에 도입되어야 하는 사이버보안역량 교과체계를 제시하였다.

  • 화재는 선박의 안전을 위협하는 가장 위험한 요소 중의 하나이므로, 선박에 설치되는 안전장치 중에서 소화 장치는 가장 중요한 안전장치라고 볼 수 있다. 선박에 탑재되는 고정식 소화 장치는 해상의 파랑에 따라 구조물의 안정성에 영향을 받는 구조이다. 특히 랙 부분은 이산화탄소용기를 고정시키는 부재로 소화 장치 중 기본적인 안전장치이다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션기법을 활용하여 각 방향 별 선박모션 및 이산화탄소용기에서 분출되는 압력데이터를 적용하여 랙 유닛의 해석을 수행하였으며 이에 따른 소화 장치의 구조적 안전성을 평가하였다.
