In order to evaluate the psychosomatic health status of metal manufacturing industries workers and their working environments, the present study was conducted from March 1, 1981 to the end of September 1981. The data was obtained from the samples of metal manufacturing industries in Kyung-In Area and their 1, 162 employees. In addition, the 803 urban residents including students, office clerks, and general publics were sampled as control groups to compare with factory employees in psychosomatic analysis. The basic tool employed in the present study was the Todai Health Index (THI) which modified CMI and was developed by Tokyo University Research Team of Japan. The results of the present study were summarized as follows: 1. Working environments of the factories 1) The data shows that fabrication shop produced the highest noise level ranging from 91 to 96 dB (A) and iron and steel shop had the lowest noise level ranging from 81 to 86 dB (A). 2) Dust concentration was the highest in iron foundry shop ($3.8 mg/m^3$) and the lowest in fabrication shop ($1.2 mg/m^3$). 3) WBGT above threshold limit values (T.L.V.) was noted in steel shop (38$\circ$C) and iron foundry shop (34$\circ$C) 4) The concentration of Sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$)was 30.5ppm at steel shop and 12.0ppm at iron foundry shop. 5) The concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) was 140.0ppm at steel shop and 110.5ppm at iron foundry shop. 6) The atmospheric lead concentration was $0.49 mg/m^3$ at soldering shop. 2. The responses of psychosomatic complaints were much higher in steel shops group than in other manu-facturing group, except the response of aggressiveness. 3. The responses of psychosomatic complaints were much higher in industrial workers than in urban residents, except the responses of depression and aggressiveness (p < 0.01 ). 4. The psychosomatic symptoms which industrial workers and urban residents complained frequently were nervousness. agressiveness and lie scale in order. 5. The responses of psychosomatic complaints by sex were much higher in female group than in male group, except the response of aggressiveness. 6. The responses of psychosomatic complaints by age were that both the female and male group showed an increasing tendency in the all items, except the response of depression as age was increasing. 7. The responses of psychosomatic complaints by the length of services were that both the female and male group showed a tendency of increasing in physical symptoms as work years increased. 8. The responses of psychosomatic complaints were higher in unmarried group in the score of nervousness, aggressiveness, mental irritability and irregular life.

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) based volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for locally advanced left sided breast cancer patients undergoing radical mastectomy. DIBH immobilizes the tumor bed providing dosimetric benefits over free breathing (FB). Materials and Methods: Ten left sided post mastectomy patients were immobilized in a supine position with both the arms lifted above the head on a hemi-body vaclock. Two thermoplastic masks were prepared for each patient, one for normal free breathing and a second made with breath-hold to maintain reproducibility. DIBH CT scans were performed in the prospective mode of the Varian real time position management (RPM) system. The planning target volume (PTV) included the left chest wall and supraclavicular nodes and PTV prescription dose was 5000cGy in 25 fractions. DIBH-3DCRT planning was performed with the single iso-centre technique using a 6MV photon beam and the field-in-field technique. VMAT plans for FB and DIBH contained two partial arcs ($179^{\circ}-300^{\circ}CCW/CW$). Dose volume histograms of PTV and OAR's were analyzed for DIBH-VMAT, FB-VMAT and DIBH-3DCRT. In DIBH mode daily orthogonal ($0^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$) KV images were taken to determine the setup variability and weekly twice CBCT to verify gating threshold level reproducibility. Results: DIBH-VMAT reduced the lung and heart dose compared to FB-VMAT, while maintaining similar PTV coverage. The mean heart $V_{30Gy}$ was $2.3%{\pm}2.7$, $5.1%{\pm}3.2$ and $3.3%{\pm}7.2$ and for left lung $V_{20Gy}$ was $18.57%{\pm}2.9$, $21.7%{\pm}3.9$ and $23.5%{\pm}5.1$ for DIBH-VMAT, FB-VMAT and DIBH-3DCRT respectively. Conclusions: DIBH-VMAT significantly reduced the heart and lung dose for left side chest wall patients compared to FB-VMAT. PTV conformity index, homogeneity index, ipsilateral lung dose and heart dose were better for DIBH-VMAT compared to DIBH-3DCRT. However, contralateral lung and breast volumes exposed to low doses were increased with DIBH-VMAT.

The objectives of this study were (1) an investigation of the current status of the hazardous substances, (2) a comparative analysis of classification system of hazardous substances between Korea and other countries, (3) a development of the new classification system in Korea, finally a review of prerequisites for effective enforcement of the new system. The results are summarized as follows : 1) The backbone of classification system of hazardous substances in Korea is based on Japanese classification system and EC(European Committee) guideline of hazardous substance. There are many problems in managing and handling of hazardous substances due to discordant of Japanese and EC system. It is desirable to revise the classification system to be harmonized with international guideline for example, guideline of IFCS(The Inter-governmental Forum on Chemical Safety) and EC guideline. 2) There are several problems in definitions of corrosive, sensitizing and irritation in MSDS Code of Ministry of Labour. It is desirable to reform those definitions. 3) Among the hazardous substances under the current system, there are several substances such as, beta-propiolactone, methyl bromide, ethyleneimine, etc that are not used and produced in Korea. It is desirable to exclude the substances from the list of controlled substances. 4) The section 39, about 'substance that designated to attach warning label' in Korea Occupational Safety and Health Act(OSHAct) should be eliminated, because above section is unnecessary under the MSDS system. 5) The researchers recommend to establish a new list of hazardous substance which are controlled by OSHAct. It is desirable that the new list is consist of two types. The first type is 'a list of the specially controlled substances' and the other is 'the generally controlled substances'. 6) It is recommended that the specially controlled substances should include hazardous substances that are highly toxic and widely used in Korea. And the generally controlled substances should include hazardous substances that can be analysed by instrument and carry threshold. limit values(TLV's).

In order to evaluate the effects of knowledge, attitude and practice on noise-induced hearing loss or hearing threshold level, questionnaire survey was performed and hearing thresholds of 1 kHz and 4 kHz were measured on 1,040 subjects with workers exposed to noise, safety and health officers. industrial hygienists, analysts rind office workers. The results were as follows ; 1. The following 6 factors were obtained by factor analysis and factor rotation of 30 questionnaire of knowledge, attitude and practice about noise; knowledge of noise (F1), concern of hearing protective devices (F2), concern of noise induced hearing loss (F3), concern of noise level and hearing impairment (F4), concern of noise in workplace (F5) and recognition of noised-induced hearing loss (F6). 56.1% of variance was explained by 6 factors. 2. Significant variables influencing knowledge, attitude and practice about noise were education level and age in F1, personal protective devices (PPE) and education level in F2, age and education level in F3, education level, age and sex in F4, PPE, education level, age and work duration in F5, and work duration and PPE in F6. 3. Hearing thresholds of 4 kHz were significantly higher in workers exposed to noise than that of in the other subjects and tended to be higher in industrial hygienists, safety and health officers and analysts than that of the office workers. 4. Significant variables influencing hearing thresholds of 1 kHz were age, education level, F5 and F6 in workers exposed to noise, and F1 in industrial hygienists. 5. Significant variables influencing hearing thresholds of 4 kHz were age, F6, sex, work duration, F1, F5, F2 and F3 in workers exposed to noise, F1 and age in safety and health officers, and F6, sex and F4 in industrial hygienists. With the above results, it suggested that workers exposed to noise be needed the education of knowledge, attitude and practice about noise in hearing conservation program for the prevention of noise induced hearing loss. Also, it suggested that health managers in workplace be needed countermeasures to prevent hearing loss although they are intermittently exposed to noise.

This study was carried out to evaluate diagnostic criteria of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) among-workers in an iron foundry. Of 1,093 workers under the observation of noise-specific health examination, 184 workers were selected by way of first and second screening audiometric examination. A questionnaire survey, otological examinations, Rinne test and audiometric test were performed and the results were as follows ; The degree of hearing impairment in the left ear was more severe than in the right ear (p<0.05). The difference between hearing threshold of the first and the second hearing test at 1,000 Hz was about 5 dB with a narrow range of deviations while the difference at 4,000 Hz was about -7 dB with a wide range. Of the total study workers, 84.8% were tested within 15 hours away from noise exposure, and the rest after 16 hours. This study has identified that mean hearing loss at 4,000 Hz showed a significant statistical difference among the two study groups while mean hearing loss by 4-divided classification did not. The same phenomena were observed between the group with and without tinnitus and between the group with and without difficulty in hearing (p<0.05). Among 184 workers, 10 workers (5.4%) diagnosed as NIHL by old diagnostic criteria in contrast to 150 workers diagnosed as NIHL by the new diagnostic criteria. There was a significant difference between the two groups in the average hearing loss at 4,000 Hz and 4-divided classification (p<0.01), but there were no significant differences in age, the duration of employment, blood pressure and the duration wearing the personal hearing protector (p>0.05). If we apply Early Loss Index (ELI) method, some workers in younger age group diagnosed as NIHL by the new diagnostic criteria were fallen into within the normal range. In the mean time older age group show reverse results in contrast to the above finding. It is too early to confirm the value of the usage of the new diagnostic criteria in hearing examination. Further study is called for to verify the value of this criteria.

황해 녹조 대발생은 2008년 이후 매년 여름 대규모로 발생하고 있으며, 인공위성 분석을 통해 녹조 규모를 추정하기 위한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 하지만 정확한 녹조 면적 산출을 위한 위성영상 선택 기준이 마련되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 위성영상의 공간해상도에 따른 녹조 면적 산출 결과의 차이를 알아보고, 녹조 면적 산출에 적합한 위성영상을 제시하고자 한다. 이 연구에서 이용한 위성영상은 Landsat ETM+, MODIS, GOCI로 영상의 공간해상도는 각각 30, 250, 500 m 이다. NDVI 알고리즘을 적용하여 녹조 픽셀을 분류하였고, 임계값에 따른 녹조 면적 산출 결과를 비교하였다. 또한, Linear Spectral Unmixing(LSU) 기법을 이용하여 한 픽셀 내에 녹조가 차지하는 비율을 추정하였고, 녹조 비율의 차이가 면적 계산에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. NDVI 알고리즘을 이용한 녹조 면적 산출 결과, 공간해상도가 낮을수록 녹조 면적이 과대추정되는 경향을 보였고, 최대 1.5배 차이를 보였다. 또한, LSU 분석 결과에서 픽셀 내의 녹조 비율이 0.1(10%) 미만인 픽셀이 대부분이었고, 0.5(50%) 이상 녹조 비중을 차지하는 픽셀은 세 타입의 영상 모두에서 약 2% 수준으로 극히 적었다. 즉, NDVI 분석 결과에서 녹조로 분류된 픽셀의 경우 한 픽셀의 공간을 녹조가 100% 채우고 있지 않더라도 모두 동일 면적으로 간주되기 때문에 실제보다 과대추정되는 것으로 생각되고, 이러한 현상은 공간해상도 차이에 의해 심화되는 것으로 나타났다.

사용자들의 특성에 맞게 개인화되고 세분화된 위치 기반 서비스를 개발하기 위한 목적으로 시공간 상에서 발생하는 이동 객체의 다양한 패턴들 중 의미있는 유용한 패턴을 추출하기 위한 시공간 패턴 탐사가 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 방대한 이동 객체의 이력 데이터로부터 패턴 탐사를 통해 실세계에 적용 가능한 위치 기반 서비스의 개발에 대한 응용으로, STOMP(F)[25]에서 정의한 최적의 이동 패턴을 탐사하는 문제들을 기반으로 시간 및 공간 제약을 갖는 패턴을 추출하기 위한 새로운 탐사 기법인 STOMP(FW)를 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 패턴 빈발도 만을 이용한 기존 연구(STOMP(F)[25])에 가중치(거리, 시간, 비용 등)를 복합적으로 이용하는 패턴 탐사 방법으로, 특정한 지점들 사이를 이동한 객체의 이동 패턴들 중 패턴 빈발도가 특정 임계치 이상이고 가중치가 가장 적게 소요되는 이동 패턴을 최적 경로로 결정하는 방법이다. 제안된 방법의 패턴 탐사는 경험적인 이동 이력을 사용함으로써 기존의 최적 경로 탐색 기법들($A^*$, Dijkstra 알고리즘)이나 빈발도 만을 이용한 방법들 보다 접근하는 노드 수가 상대적으로 적어 보다 빠르고 정확하게 최적 패턴을 탐색할 수 있음을 보인다.

Thermal stress of pigs causes decreased feed consumption and weight gain rate, immunosuppression, reproductive disorders, and increased mortality. The concept of the temperature-humidity index (THI) has been widely used to evaluate the degree of thermal stress of pigs. However, use of this concept is strongly restricted for animals living in the enclosed facilities. In this study, Building Energy Simulation (BES) technique was used to realize the energy flow among outside weather conditions, building materials, and animals. Especially, mechanisms of sensible and latent heat generation from pigs according to surrounding air temperature and their weight were designed to accurately evaluate the THI values inside the pig house. The THI values computed by the BES model were compared to those calculated by method of the report (NIAS, 2016), the model of this study predicted the start date of heat stress about 9~76 days earlier compared to the NIAS model. Results of the BES model also showed higher frequencies of the THI above the THI threshold for pigs, indicating that conventional model has a possibility of underestimating the degree of heat stress of pigs.

본 연구에서는 맛 냄새 물질 발생시 표준정수처리공정에서 지오스민과 활성탄 주입량을 효과적으로 저감하는 방안을 제시하였다. 염소처리방식에 따른 지오스민 제거효율을 평가한 결과, 저농도(< 25 ng/L)의 경우 전염소와 중간염소를 동시에 운영할 경우 지오스민 제거율은 46%인 반면, 중간염소로 운영한 공정의 지오스민 제거율은 57%로 나타났다. 중농도(25~79 ng/L)에서는 전염소와 중간염소로 운영한 지오스민 제거율은 59%, 중간염소로 운영한 지오스민 제거율은 87%로 나타났다. 고농도(> 80 ng/L)에서도 전염소와 중간염소를 동시에 운영한 지오스민 제거율은 67%인 반면 중간염소로 운영한 지오스민 제거율은 95%로 나타나 중간염소로 운영시 제거율이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 지오스민 농도별 측정결과와 활성탄 투입량의 상관성을 분석한 결과, 결정계수($R^2$)는 0.96 으로 나타나 적합한 분말활성탄 조견표를 제안하였다. 또한, 지오스민 물질발생 초기에 중간염소와 활성탄을 동시에 투입 시 원수농도가 급격히 증가하여도 지오스민의 입자성 물질을 지속적으로 제거할 수 있어 활성탄 저감 뿐만 아니라 정수 기대농도도 만족할 수 있었다.
