Traffic safety and congestion are becoming more and more serious, especially the frequent occurrence of traffic accidents, which have caused great casualties and economic losses. Cellular Vehicle to Everything (C-V2X) can assist in safe driving and improve traffic efficiency through real-time information sharing and communication between vehicles. All vehicles communicate directly with Base Stations (BS), which will increase the base station load. And when the communicating vehicles are too far apart, too fast or there are obstacles in the communication path, the communication link can be unstable or even interrupted. Therefore, choosing an effective and reliable multi-hop relay-assisted Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication can not only reduce the base station load and improve the system throughput but also expand the base station coverage and improve the communication quality of edge vehicles. Therefore, a communication area division scheme based on regular hexagon segmentation technology is proposed, a relay-assisted V2V communication mechanism is designed for the divided communication areas, and an efficient communication link is constructed by selecting the best relay node. Simulation results show that the scheme can improve the throughput of the system by nearly 55% and enhance the robustness of the V2V communication link.

Objectives: The importance of MSDS is emphasized for communicating hazardous information due to the increase in the types and usage of chemical substances. The purpose of this study is to assess the reliability of MSDS by collecting and examining paint thinners commercially available in South Korea. Methods: Twenty-five paint thinners were purchased at paint stores and the provision of MSDS was checked. Quantitative and qualitative analysis was performed on the chemical constituents of the thinners using GC-MSD and GC-FID. Reliability was evaluated by the MSDS collection rate for the paint thinners and calculating the rate of matching between laboratory analysis results and the contents and composition of chemical constituents given in the MSDS. Results: Unlike a study conducted in 2006, MSDS were provided for all 25 thinners. As a result of qualitative analysis using GC-MSD, 104 chemical substances were detected. The substances with the highest detection rate were identified in the order of toluene, butyl acetate, acetone, xylene, and ethyl benzene. A component matching rate of 41% was found by comparing the differences between the number of substances detected in laboratory testing and the number of substances listed in the MSDS. Benzene, a carcinogen not listed in the MSDS, was detected in two thinners produced by a small company. The detected benzene contents were 0.039 and 0.040%. When benzene is used, it should be strictly handled according to the Industrial Safety and Health Act. However, since it is not listed on the MSDS, it is judged that benzene was not being managed as a carcinogen in the workplaces where it is used. Conclusions: Since the reliability of MSDS, which play an important role in hazard communication, was evaluated to be low, it is necessary to systematically and continuously secure this reliability. In particular, carcinogens should be managed more strictly.

Objectives: Since the material safety data sheets(MSDS) submission and non-disclosure review system was introduced in January 2021, the implementation status of MSDS for chemical manufacturing and importing workplaces being supervised for the first time. Methods: A supervisory team consisting of two labor inspectors and one from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency directly visited the selected workplaces to check compliance with the MSDS system as a whole. Results: As a result of supervising 214 chemical substance manufacturing/importing workplaces, a total of 241 violations of the law were found in 121 workplaces, or 57% of them. In response, the Ministry of Employment and Labor took legal action on 8 cases in 6 locations, imposed a fines totaling of 249.69 million won on 120 chemical handling workplaces, and took action to correct the violations immediately. Conclusions: Major violations were in the order of non-request for warning signs, non-submission of MSDS, non-execution of MSDS training, and non-posting of MSDS. This shows the reality that employers who handle chemical substances are sufficiently communicating chemical information to workers. In the future, the government will actively implement preparation and submission support and system guidance for the implementation of the MSDS system, while making efforts to ensure that the MSDS system works well in the field through thorough on-site supervision in the future.

현재의 복잡한 시각문화는 디지털 기술의 발전에 따라 이미지, 그래픽, 사진, 영화, 텔레비전 등의 영상에 따른 광범위하게 확대된 시각 세계이며, 사운드와 문자까지를 삽입하여 의미 내용을 전달하기 때문에 일반적인 언어나 문자를 넘어 정보를 전달하고 커뮤니케이션 하는 멀티미디어 적 성격을 갖는다고 할 수 있다. 이 때의 다양한 이미지들을 보는 시각은 언어와 불가분 하게 연결되며, 이미지와 시각의 상상적 질서가 문화적, 역사적으로 특정한 방식으로 구성된다고 할 수 있다. 언어는 그 시대의 사회, 문화, 역사에 따라 다르기 때문에 시각적 경험이 부분적으로라도 언어적으로 매개된다면 시각적 경험이 보편성을 갖기는 어려운 것이다. 따라서 시각 체계들간의 사회 문화적 차이를 형성하고 규정하는데 에는 언어적 질서의 역할이 크다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 시각 언어와 함께 역사적으로 다양한 시각적, 광학적 장치들 또한 많은 영향을 끼쳤는데 이 시각적 테크놀로지들은 가시적 세계 속에서 주체와 주체의 가시적인 대상들과 관계 맺는 방식을 결정하는 구체적인 물질적 실천체인 것이다. 시각언어는 이렇게 이미지들의 표상이라는 차원과 일련의 역사적인 물질적, 제도적 실천들로의 시각테크놀로지라는 차원이 결합된 것이며, 이것이 하나의 시각체제 내에서의 대상 세계를 보는 사회적인 시각 양식을 결정하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 미디어테크놀로지의 발전에 따라 변화된 개념이나 특성들에 따라 시각언어를 사회적이고 역사적인 성격을 가진 것으로 이해하고 표상의 차원으로서의 시각언어와 제도적이고 물질적인 실천으로서의 시각 테크놀로지의 차원에서 설명했다. 결국 시각 테크놀로지는 그 기능과 시각 양식에 대한 영향은 그것의 기술적 요소만으로는 설명할 수 없으며, 그것과 결부된 담론적 실천들과 물질적 제도적 실천과 분리될 수 없다. 특정 테크놀로지의 기술적 요소가 담고 있는 가능성 역시 그대로 실현되는 것이 아니라 항상 사회적 맥락에 의해 그 효과가 매개되고 제약되면서 실현된다고 할 수 있다.

Objectives : The objective of this study is to determine the present state of patients with breast cancer use of Korean medicine(KM) and predictive factors for the use. Through this, the present study is intended to present reasonable treatment approaches for patients with breast cancer as well as communicating correct information on KM to healthcare providers and presenting objective alternatives for patients with breast cancer management based on the subjects' experience in health benefits obtained from their use of KM. Methods : To collect data for the present study, questionnaire surveys were conducted on outpatients who visited four hospitals located in Seoul, Korea during around three weeks from May 31, 2012. Although the total number of the questionnaire sheet distributed in the form of directly asking questionnaire questions was 300, 12 incomplete questionnaire sheets were excluded. Therefore, the number of questionnaire sheets actually used in analyses was 288 and thus the collect rate was 96%. Results : Major results of this study are as follows. First, the number of subjects who responded to the questionnaire was 288 in total. Forty-six percent of the patients reported KM usage and the most commonly used ginseng and qigong/exercise. KM use was found to be associated with age, experiencing side effects of cancer treamnent. Factors that affect the use of KM were analyzed by Linear Logistic Regression and the results showed that age, experiencing side effects of cancer treatment, effectiveness of cancer treatment, and satisfaction of the treatment were factors that were related with relatively more frequent use of KM. Conclusions : Comparing the previous studies, it could be seen that patients with breast cancer were highly interested in and used KM in which conventional medicine and KM are used simultaneously. Knowledge on the integrative use of KM and conventional therapies is necessary for cancer physicians and traditional Korean medical doctors to help patients make informed choices. KM use may play a role in the positive benefits associated with process of breast center treatment. Healthcare providers should communicate correct information on the KM use that has been scientifically verified and talk with each other openly. The fact that the significant correlation between predictive factors for the use of KM was identified trough the present study is quite meaningful.

Objectives : Embolization of intracranial aneurysms by using Guglielmi detachable coils(GDC) is proving to be a safe method of protecting aneurysms from rupture. Occasionally, patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms present with symptoms related to the aneurysm's mass effect on either the brain parenchyma or cranial nerves. In the present study, the authors conducted a retrospective review to evaluate the response to GDC embolization in a series of 6 patients presenting with cranial nerve dysfunction due to mass effect. Patients and Methods : Aneurysms were classified by size, shape, and amount of intraluminal thrombus. Patients were classified by duration of symptoms prior to GDC treatment(range<1 month to>4 years). Clinical assessment was performed within days of the GDC procedure and at later follow-up appointments(range 5-16 months, mean 9 months). Results : In the immediate post-GDC embolization period, one of the five patients had transient worsening of third nerve palsy, which later improved to better than baseline status. Two patients who presented with third nerve deficit from a internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery junction aneurysm had complete recovery. One patient who presented with hemiparesis and dysarthria from a giant mid-basilar aneurysm showed improvement of these symptoms. One patient who presented with sixth cranial nerve deficit from a cavernous aneurysm showed no change at the 8-months follow-up examination. Conclusion : The endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms by using GDC is suggested as an alternative therapeutic method for improving or alleviating neurological deficits produced by mass effect.

현대사회의 정보화는 컴퓨터와 인터넷을 통해 대량의 정보를 생산 교류하므로 새로운 커뮤니케이션 방식을 탄생시키고 있다. 과거 피동적 방식의 일방적 정보흐름이 능동적 상호작용 방식으로 진화하여 정보생산자와 정보소비자의 구별을 약회시키고 있으며, 온라인상의 인적관계를 강화시키는 Social Networking Service의 사회구조로 발전하고 있다. 따라서 정보의 확산은 사회적 네트워크 구조를 긴밀하게 작용시킴으로 사회적 갈등을 불러일으키는 하나의 요인으로도 작용하기도 하고, 제도와 환경, 개인의 문화적 적응이 과학 기술의 빠른 발전 속도를 따라가지 못함으로 갈등과 혼란을 초래하기도 한다. 이에 본 논문은 정보화 사회의 특성과 진화과정을 살펴보면서 정보화의 파장으로서 사회적 위험요인을 살펴보고 이에 대한 민간시큐리티의 역할을 모색해 보고자 한다. 정보화 사회는 시간과 공간의 영역을 축소시켜 인간생활의 편리성과 간편성을 가져다 준 반면, 비대면성과 익명성이라는 특성으로 인해 많은 사회적 부작용도 발생시키고 있다. 이에 국가차원의 제도적 대책 마련이 이루어지고 있지만 개인생활보호를 위한 민간차원의 보호장치는 아직 논의되지 않고 있다. 주문자 방식의 개인의 생명과 재산을 보호하는 민간시큐리티가 이를 담당해야 할 것이다.

Twelve cases in eleven patients with segmental bone defects were treated with contralateral fibula free flap and ipsilateral island fibula flap in an antegrade, retrograde or bidirectional flow fashion. Five cases were managed with free flaps and seven were with ipsilateral fibula island transfer. Among seven cases, antegrade fashion was three, retrograde was three, and bidirectional was one. All patients were related with open tibial fractures and its sequelae except one who had open foot bone fracture. According to Gustilo's classification, ten patients were type IIIb and one was type IIIc. Basically, antegrade-flow flaps based on the peroneal vessels as in the conventional free flap were used for the proximal or middle one-third tibial defects. On the contrary, retrograde-flow flaps based on the communicating branch between the peroneal and posterior tibial vessels were used for the middle or distal one-third of the tibia. Bidirection-flow flap based on intact peroneal vessels were used for the middle portion of the tibia. The patients who have undergone ipsilateral fibula island flap had one of the following problems: a previously failed free flap, below-knee amputation of the opposite leg because of open tibial fracture, refusal to use the contralateral sound leg, or poor general condition to stand a lengthy operation. Six of the patients who have got ipsilateral fibula island flap also had an associated fibula fracture on the same leg, which was ultimately used as one of the osteotomy sites. The follow-up period was from 1 to 10 years. Two cases of free flap were failed: one patient had below-knee amputation and the other patient had ipsilateral fibula transfer. Other cases were successful and excellent hypertophy of the transferred fibula was achieved. Time to bone union ranged from 4 to 11 months. Time to full weight bearing was from 5 to 13 months after surgery. All of the transferred fibulas showed hypertrophy after weight bearing. In one case, stress fracture was developed during ambulation, which was healed conservatively. Nonunion occurred in two cases, which were treated with a long leg cast and cancellous bone graft, respectively. Length discrepancy of the legs was noted. The limb was shorter by an average 0.5 cm in three cases, longer by 1.1 cm in one case. In the case of island fibula transfer, limited arc of rotation was not a problem. Other disabling complications were not seen. We believe that these diverse modalities using a vascularized fibula will make us more comfortable to handle major bone defects.
