Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of simulation evacuation training improvement activity through wheelchair skill training. Methods: The study included 40 patients with early stroke who were randomly allocated to a wheelchair skill training group (Experimental group, n=20) and a general exercise group (Control group, n=20). Both groups performed the exercise 3 times a week for 3 weeks. Outcomes were assessed using Wheelchair Skills Test Skills Performance (WSTSP), Wheelchair Skills Test Skills Safety (WSTSS) and Wheelchair Propulsion Velocity (WPV). Results: After 3 weeks of training, both groups showed significantly improved WSTSP, WSTSS and WPV (p<.01 in both groups). However, the WSTSP, WSTSS and WPV in the experimental group were very significantly better than in the control group (p<.01). Conclusion: These findings indicate that wheelchair skill training may be effective at improving wheelchair skill ability and wheelchair propulsion velocity in stroke patients who cannot walk independently. Therefore, short-term wheelchair skill training could be useful for patient safety in simulated evacuation situations.

Background: Ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are harmful gases generated during aerobic/anaerobic bacterial decomposition of livestock manure. We evaluated ammonia and hydrogen sulfide concentrations generated from workplaces at livestock farms and determined environmental factors influencing the gas concentrations. Methods: Five commercial swine farms and five poultry farms were selected for monitoring. Real-time monitors were used to measure the ammonia and hydrogen sulfide concentrations and environmental conditions during the manure-handling processes. Monitoring was conducted in the manure storage facility and composting facility. Information on the farm conditions was also collected through interview and walk-through survey. Results: The ammonia concentrations were significantly higher at the swine composting facilities (9.5-43.2 ppm) than at other manure-handling facilities at the swine and poultry farms, and high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide were identified during the manure agitation and mixing process at the swine manure storage facilities (6.9-19.5 ppm). At the poultry manure-handling facilities, the ammonia concentration was higher during the manure-handling processes (2.6-57.9 ppm), and very low hydrogen sulfide concentrations (0-3.4 ppm) were detected. The air temperature and relative humidity, volume of the facility, duration of manure storage, and the number of animals influenced the gas concentrations. Conclusion: A high level of hazardous gases was generated during manure handling, and some levels increased up to risk levels that can threaten workers' health and safety. Some of the farm operational factors were also found to influence the gas levels. By controlling and improving these factors, it would be possible to protect workers' safety and health from occupational risks.

Baby walkers have been a major cause of injuries in young children. The main purpose of this study is to identify the pattern of injuries associated with baby walker. The data ore collected from May 13 to June 15, 1998 from 438 mothers who have used or are using baby walkers for their children aged average 6 month old(range 1-33 month). It was founded that 19.2%(84 infants) of these children had walker-related accidents. The types of injuries included ‘falling down’(52.4%), ‘tiping over’(21.4%), ‘being crashed into the wall’(17.9%), and burns(1.2%). These injuries predominantly involved the head and neck region(88%). The majority of injuries were minor, and most injuries occured at home with the mother present. The most common reason to use the baby walker was to keep the infant happy and occupied. Although many parents used walker to promote walking, there was no supportive evidence that walkers helped babies learn to walk sooner. In conclusion, injuries among infants who use walkers are minor, but common. Also, baby walkers may cause a fatal min to some infants. Therefore, child safety warning label policies, anticipatory safety guidance and quality control of infant walkers are needed to prevent injuries associated with a infant walker.

한국원자력연구원의 지하처분연구시설인 KURT 주변의 지하수 유동 환경과 관련하여 수집 및 분석된 자료를 바탕으로, 가상의 처분장에서 누출된 방사성 핵종의 이동 현상을 시간 영역(time domain)에서 계산하였다. KURT에서 실시된 현장 시험에서 밝혀진 수리지질학적 특성을 바탕으로 지하수 유동 모의를 실시하였고, 그 결과를 통해 파악된 지하수 유동 경로를 따라 방사성 핵종이 이동하는데 걸리는 시간은 시간 영역에서 용질 이동 모의를 하는 TDRW(Time Domain Random Walk) 방식을 통해 평가하였다. 이류(advection)와 분산(dispersion) 현상 외에 방사성 핵종의 붕괴(decay), 평형 흡착(equilibrium sorption), 암반 기질로의 확산(matrix diffusion) 현상이 용질의 이동 시간에 영향을 주는 것으로 설정되었다. 모의 결과를 통해 방사성 핵종과 지하 매질의 특성에 의한 흡착 현상, 기질 확산 현상이 핵종 이동에 미치는 영향이 분석되었으며, 방사성 핵종의 연쇄 KURT 부지 환경에 위치한 가상의 처분 시설에서 누출되는 방사성 핵종의 이동을 Time Domain에서 해석하는 방법에 관한 연구 반응에 의한 영향도 평가하였다. KURT 부지 환경에서 지표로 유출될 수 있다고 계산된 방사성 핵종의 유출량은 처분장에서 누출될 수 있는 양의 $10^{-3}$배 미만이었고, 암반 기질로의 확산 및 흡착이 고려되면 그 비율이 더욱 낮아졌다. 본 연구에서 사용된 핵종 이동 모의 방법은 방사성붕괴나 흡착, 확산 등 이동 지연 현상을 고려하면서 핵종의 이동 시간을 계산할 수 있어 안전성 평가에서 요구되는 심부 지하에서의 방사성 핵종 이동 관련 자료를 작성하는데 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
