  • Background: Wild fish populations stock is continuously diminishing in the Indo-Ganges river basin, and the population status of most fishes is unidentified. The identification of the population status and the conservation of commercially important and endemic wild fish populations in this region are crucial for the management. The aim of this paper was to identify the population status of Cirrhinus reba, a promising aquaculture but vulnerable species in the Indo-Ganges river basin in Bangladesh. Methods: C. reba samples were collected from four isolated populations of the Brahmaputra (n = 30), the Padma (33), the Karatoya (31), and the Jamuna Rivers (30) in Bangladesh, and the population status was evaluated using morphometric and landmark comparisons. Data were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test, univariate analysis, discriminant function analysis, and the formation of a dendrogram. Results: Three meristic characters (Pectoral fin rays, caudal fin rays, scale in lateral lines), four morphometric characters (head length, pre-orbital length, post-orbital length, maximum body depth), and truss measurement (4-7) were significantly different among the stocks. The step-wise discriminant function analysis retained 15 variables from morphometric and landmark measurements that significantly differentiated the populations based on the constructed DFI and DFII. Discriminate function analysis also showed that 91.2% of the original groups were classified into their correct samples. The cluster analysis of Euclidean distances placed the Jamuna population in one cluster and the Brahmaputra, the Padma, and the Karatoya populations in the second one. Conclusion : Morphological differences among the stock were probably due to different ancestral origin. This is the first report about population status of C. reba in their natural habitat of the Indian subcontinent. Further genetic studies and the evaluation of environmental impact on C. reba populations in Bangladesh are suggested to support our findings.

  • In this paper, we formulate two chemostat type models of phytoplankton and zooplankton population dynamics with instant nutrient recycling to study the role of viral infection on phytoplankton. The infection is transmitted only among phytoplankton population and it makes them more vulnerable to predation by zooplankton. It is observe that the chemostat system is very stable in the absence of viral infection but the presence of viral infection make the chemostat system sensitive with respect to the grazing rate of infected-phytoplankton by zooplankton. Further, if the grazing rate is less than certain threshold the system remain stable and exhibits Hopf-bifurcation after crossing it.

  • Poor subsistence farmers who live in a semi-arid area of northern Ethiopia build irrigation systems to overcome water shortages. However, there is a high risk of malaria transmission when increased standing water provides more favorable habitats for mosquito breeding. This is a serious problem because there are many barriers to malaria control measures and health care systems in the area. Using a causal loop diagram and computer simulations, the author attempted to visually illustrate positive and negative feedbacks between mosquito and human populations in the context of Simret, which is a small village located in northern Ethiopia and is generally considered a malaria-free area. The simulation results show that the number of infectious mosquitos increases to 17,215 at its peak, accounting for 3.5% of potentially dangerous mosquitos. At the same time, the number of sick people increases to 574 at its peak, accounting for 15% of local population. The malaria outbreak is controlled largely because of a fixed number of vulnerable people or local population that acts as an intermediate host.

  • The vacant houses commonly observed in urban aging are considered to be representative signs of urban decline. Vacant houses are themselves vulnerable to security, and in particular, they are exposed to disasters due to poor management, which can accelerate the decline of the area. This study is to classify the area and analyze the causes and characteristics of the occurrence of vacant houses by type based on the data through the survey on the vacant houses in Incheon. This research analyze vacant house data survey so to characterized and categorized types of vacant houses. The criteria of vacant houses analysis are population density, population growth, aging extent. In conclusion there are four types of region in Incheon area according to housing types, hazard classes, building age and building areas. Type A is inner city, type B is mixed, type C is expandable and type D is unsular types.

  • Singapore and Thailand have been rapidly ageing. There has been a growing demand for eldercarers in the home-setting for which migrant domestic workers have filled the role. This paper examines the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Consensus governing women migrant workers entering the eldercare sector. It argues that because the ASEAN Consensus is not legally binding, it only serves to reinforce the sovereignty of states in the treatment of migrant workers instead of member states acting in unison to ensure labour protections for this group; as a result, Singapore and Thailand do not feel the need to step up protections for this group of workers according to national labor laws and hence low-skilled women migrant workers entering the eldercare sector continue to be vulnerable to labour abuses. Thus as with globalization, the ASEAN Economic Community manifests the paradox of borders: that while states are economically interconnected and interdependent, they are simultaneously disconnected and independent from each other.

  • 백두산 화산의 대규모 분화로 인한 우리나라 PM2.5 영향 및 피해범위를 정량적으로 예측하기 위하여 우리나라에 직접 피해를 주는 worst-case 기상 시나리오를 적용하여 3차원 대기화학모델링 시스템 WRF-SMOKE-CMAQ(Weather Research & Forecasting - Sparse Matrix Operation Kernel Emission - Comunity Multi-scale Air Quality)을 구동하였다. 과거 10년(2005~2014년)간 백두산 분화 worst-case 우선순위 중 우리나라에 가장 큰 직접 피해를 주는 대표 worst-case 시나리오를 적용하여 대상 사례일(2012.5.16)에 VEI 4의 대규모 화산 분화를 가정하여 화산 분화로 인한 초미세먼지(PM2.5)의 영향을 분석하였다. 우리나라 지역별(시군구) PM2.5의 영향을 예측하고 취약계층 등을 반영한 노출평가를 실시하여 취약지역을 도출하였다. 또한, 시군구의 영향을 보다 상세규모(9 km × 9 km)로 분석하여 시군구 지역 내 취약지역을 도출하였다. 백두산 분화 대표 worst-case(2012.5.16.) 분석결과, 국내 PM2.5 피크농도는 24,547 ㎍/㎥로 낙하 화산재(5억 4천만톤) 처리가 가장 큰 문제로 대두되었던 미국 세인트헬렌스 화산 분화(1980년) 사례보다 더 극한 상황이 될 것으로 예상된다. 또한, PM2.5 고농도 지역의 분석결과, 파주, 김포, 고양, 강화, 산청, 하동에서 고농도가 나타났다. 반면, 인구 노출분석 결과 인구 밀집지역인 파주가 특히 취약지역으로 나타났고, 취약계층 노출분석 결과 또한, 취약계층 인구가 많은 파주, 남양주, 화성이 취약지역으로 나타났다. 시군구 지역을 상세규모로 분석함으로써 하동 북부 등 시군구 지역 내에서의 고농도 지역을 도출할 수 있었다. 화산재해 발생 시 대기오염물질의 고농도 지역도 중요하지만 인구 및 민감군, 취약계층 밀집지역 등을 고려한 대응 및 대책 마련이 필요하겠으며 시군구에 대한 일률적인 대책보다 시군구 지역 내 고농도 지역 등의 선별을 통한 취약 지역별 대책 마련이 필요하겠다. 본 연구는 화산재해의 재난선포 기준 개발 및 선제적 대응체계 개발의 초석 마련에 기초자료가 될 것으로 판단된다.

  • 지리학은 대체적으로 인간과 환경 간의 상호연관에 대해 관심을 가지고 있다. 특히, 인간과 환경 간의 연관성은 작은 도서국가의 환경이 변화하는 모습에서 나타난다. 태평양의 저지대 산호도인 투발루는 기후변화의 원인에 주된 책임을 갖고 있지 않지만 투발루의 인구압은 지속적으로 기후변화로 인한 자원의 이용불가능과 환경적 불안정성에 영향을 받고 있다. 환경지리학과 인구지리학의 맥락 속에서 투발루의 환경적 위기와 이주민에 대한 주변 태평양 도서국과의 관계를 살펴보려 한다. 투발루인의 이주는 인구과잉과 직면된 수용 능력면에서 어떠한 어려움을 겪고 있으며 국내, 국외 이주민의 정착상황에 대해 알아볼 것이다. 이 연구는 환경 변화의 관계에서 투발루인의 이주패턴, 담론 및 전망을 분석하면서 인구지리학적인 맥락에서 현대이주문헌을 조사하려 한다.

  • Objectives : This study presents a scientific basis for the establishment of an environmental health contingency plan for dealing with accidental coastal oil spills and suggests some strategies for use in an environmental health emergency. Methods : We reviewed the existing literature, and analyzed the various fundamental factors involved in response strategies for oil spill. Our analysis included data derived from Hebei Spirit oil spill and used air dispersion modeling. Results : Spill amounts of more than 1,000 kl can affect the health of residents along the coast, especially those who belong to vulnerable groups. Almost 30% of South Korean population lives in the vicinity of the coast. The area that is at the highest risk for a spill and that has the greatest number of people at risk is the stretch of coastline from Busan to Tongyeong. The most prevalent types of oil spilt in Korean waters have been crude oil and bunker-C oil, both of which have relatively high specific gravity and contain volatile organic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and metals. In the case of a spill of more than 1,000 kl, it may be necessary to evacuate vulnerable and sensitive groups. Conclusions : The government should establish environmental health planning that considers the spill amount, the types of oil, and the distance between the spot of the accident and the coast, and should assemble a response team that includes environmental health specialists to prepare for the future oil spill.
