The accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) of the lymph node was investigated through a review of 176 FNAC cases and the corresponding biopsies. We chose 157 FNAC cases after the exclusion of 19 inadequate ones. Sensitivity of malignancy was 94.0%, specificity 100%, false negativity 6.0%, and false positivity 0.0%. The overall diagnostic accuracy was 96.8%. Sensitivity of metastatic carcinoma was 98.0% and that of malignant lymphoma was 87.9%. False negative cases included one metastatic carcinoma and four malignant lymphomas. The aspirates of metastatic carcinoma with false negativity exhibited a diffuse smear of keratin debris without viable cells, which led to the difficulty in differentiation from benign epithelial cyst. The cases of malignant lymphoma with false negative diagnosis were two Hodgkin diseases, one Lennert's lymphoma, and one peripheral T cell lymphoma in the histologic sections. On the analysis of 39 cases of tuberculosis, 17 cases(43.6%) were diagnosed as tuberculosis, 4(10.3%) as granulomatous lymphadenitis, 3(7.7%) as necrotizing lymphadenitis, and 15(38.5%) as reactive hyperplasia or pyogenic inflammation. Sensitivity of tuberculosis was 53.9%. In conclusion, lymph node FNAC is an excellent non-invasive diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma. The diagnostic accuracy of malignant lymphoma could be improved with flow cytometry or polymerase chain reaction for antigen receptor genes. For the FNAC diagnosis of tuberculosis, AFB stain, culture, and PCR would be helpful as adjuvant techniques.

More than 64% of Korea's land is occupied by mountain regions, which have terrain characteristics that make it vulnerable to mountain disasters. The trails of Taebaeksan Mountain National Park-the region considered in this study-are located in the vicinity of steep slopes, and therefore, the region is vulnerable to landslides and debris flow during heavy storms. In this study, a slope stability model, which is a deterministic analysis method, was used to examine the potential occurrence of landslides. According to the soil classification of the detailed soil map, the specific weight of soil, effective cohesion, internal friction angle of soil, effective soil depth, and ground slope were used as the parameters of the model, and slope stability was evaluated based on the DEM of a 1 m grid. The results of the slope stability analysis showed that the more hazardous the area was, the closer the ratio of groundwater/effective soil depth is to 1.0. Further, many of the private houses and commercial facilities in the lower part of the national park were shown to be exposed to danger.

Increase of impervious areas due to expansion of housing area, commercial and business building of urban is resulting in property change of stormwater runoff. Also, rapid urbanization and heavy rain due to climate change lead to urban flood and debris flow damage. In 2010 and 2011, Seoul had experienced shocking flooding damages by heavy rain. All these have led to increased interest in applying LID and decentralized rainwater management as a means of urban hydrologic cycle restoration and Natural Disaster Prevention such as flooding and so on. Urban development is a cause of expansion of impervious area. It reduces infiltration of rain water and may increase runoff volume from storms. Low Impact Development (LID) methods is to mimic the predevelopment site hydrology by using site design techniques that store, infiltrate, evaporate, detain runoff, and reduction flooding. Use of these techniques helps to reduce off-site runoff and ensure adequate groundwater recharge. The contents of this paper include a hydrologic analysis on a site and an evaluation of flooding reduction effect of LID practice facilities planned on the site. The region of this Case study is LID Rainwater Management Demonstration District in A-new town and P-new town, Korea. LID Practice facilities were designed on the area of rainwater management demonstration district in new town. We performed analysis of reduction effect about flood discharge. SWMM5 has been developed as a model to analyze the hydrologic impacts of LID facilities. For this study, we used weather data for around 38 years from January 1973 to August 2014 collected from the new town City Observatory near the district. Using the weather data, we performed continuous simulation of urban runoff in order to analyze impacts on the Stream from the development of the district and the installation of LID facilities. This is a new approach to stormwater management system which is different from existing end-of-pipe type management system. We suggest that LID should be discussed as a efficient method of urban disasters and climate change control in future land use, sewer and stormwater management planning.

The aim of this research is the feasibility analysis of the reject ash premixed cement mortar with combined aggregate. Namely, for the combined aggregate with two different qualities of aggregates, a fundamental properties of cement mortar was evaluated depending on various replacing ratios of reject ash(Ri). According to the experimental results, the combined aggregate consisted with low-quality aggregate and sea sand did not change the flow value depending on the reject ash while the combined aggregates consisted with low quality aggregate and sea sand; and consisted exploded debris sand and sea sand the increasing reject ash increased the air content with increased replacing ratio of reject ash. In the case of compressive strength, as the replacing ratio of reject ash was increased, the compressive strength was increased. It is considered that when 5% of reject ash replacing ratio made similar quality of cement mortar with favorable quality aggregate, hence, it can be suggested that 5% replacement of reject ash for desirable fluidity and compressive strength of concrete.

A probability of slope hazards was predicted at a natural terrain around the stone relics of Jinjeon-saji area, which is located in Yangyang, Kangwon Province. As the analyzing results of field investigation, laboratory test and geology and geomorphology data, the effect factors of landslides occurrence were evaluated. Also, the landslides prediction map was made up using the prediction model by the effect factors. The landslide susceptibility of stone relics was investigated as the grading classification of occurrence probability. In the landslides prediction map, the high probability area was $3,489m^2$ and it was 10.1% of total prediction area. The high probability area has over 70% of occurrence probability. If landslides are occurred at the predicted area, the three stories stone pagoda of Jinjeon-saji(National treasure No. 122) and the stone lantern of Jinjeon-saji(Treasure No.439) will be collapsed by debris flow.

The houses are formed in the lower part of the mountain slope face in most agricultural areas of Korea, and old residents accounting for a large portion of the agricultural populations cannot respond to the evacuation quickly when the landslide happens, and the possibility the life damage occurs is high. Therefore, it is urgent to arrange the measure on this. This study is intended to develop the personal disaster evacuation apparatus that can be installed in the house to minimize the life damage by the landslide and to develop the self-initiative evacuation apparatus. This study suggested the load applicable to the personal disaster evacuation apparatus by quantitatively analyzing the effect of the load of rockslides and avalanches caused by the landslide on the structure. Also, the material property of materials was calculated through the tension and bending intensity test after making the specimen of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) member. The load weight and material property drawn from this study can be used as the basic material for the stability analysis of the personal disaster evacuation apparatus.

The geology of the study area which is located in Samkoe-dong, Dong-gu, Daejeon city comprises black slate, limestone, and pebble-bearing phyllitic rock as meta-sedimentary rocks; and biotite granite and quartz porphyry intrusions. Face mapping revealed sliding in three or four sites of contained coaly slate, where the dip of the foliation and other discontinuities is parallel to the surface slope. The cause of the slope sliding is this parallelism as well as the swelling of the coaly slate when wet. In contrast, the slop on the opposite side of the road is relatively stable because the dip of the foliation and other discontinuities are oblique or normal to the surface slope. To ensure slope stability, a cut-and-cover tunnel was designed and constructed for the new road.

We conducted this study to provide essential data for implementing restoration measures on the physical properties of the geology, topography, and soil of the landcreep areas in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do. The strata of the survey area comprised topsoil, weathered soil, weathered rock, and soft rock layers. The landcreep area, caused by colluvial debris, was located in a convex topography shape distributed as bedrock with shales and incorporated with sandstone. According to the measurement of the displacement meter, the surveyed area has crept from 1.1 mm to 6.5 mm during the recurrent landcreep between 1 July and 27 August, 2020. The landcreep had progressed over two directions (S65° W, E45° S, and E70° S) which were similar to the groundwater flow direction (E82.5° S and S16.8° W). The average slope of the landcreep area occurred on a gentle slope (19.3°), lower than the average slope of the mountain area (25°) in Korea. The bulk density in the groundwater areas was lower than that in other surveyed areas.

아시아 몬순기후의 영향에 의해 우리나라는 2020년 7월부터 9월까지 약 90일간의 장마로 인해 크고 작은 수재해가 발생하였다. 특히, 안성, 충주, 음성 그리고 곡성 등에서 인명피해가 발생하였으며, 그 외 13개소에서 많은 재산 피해가 발생하였다. 2020년 산사태/토석류 재해로 인한 전국적인 피해액은 약 3,900억으로 보고되고 있으며, 매년 집중호우에 의해 피해 양상이 변하고, 도시지역에서의 발생이 빈번하게 늘고 있다. 집중호우에 의한 산사태/토석류 전이 피해를 저감시키기 위해서는 발생 물질이 어디까지 이동할 수 있는지에 대한 위험범위확산에 대한 연구가 중요하며, 이런 연구를 기반으로 인명피해를 줄이기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 천수방정식, 유변학특성 식 그리고 연행침식 식을 조합하여 개발된 적응형 격자기반 2차원 토석류 모델을 이용하여 안성, 음성 그리고 단성지역에서 발생했었던 산사태/토석류 전이 피해 양상을 해석하였다. 산사태 발생 후 2~3일 이내에 지표 지질 및 지형 조사를 실시하였으며, UAV 및 항공사진을 이용하여 산사태 및 토석류의 형태를 맵핑하였다. 지질 및 지형조사 시 간이 Vein tester를 이용하여 야외에서 토양 물성관련 자료를 취득하였으며, 토석류의 이동 흔적(나무 등에의 토석류 타격 흔적)을 이용하여 조사지점에서의 최대 토석류 흐름 깊이를 추정하였다. 정확한 토석류의 유속에 대한 자료 부족으로 2011년 우면산에서 발생한 약 26m/s의 속도를 이용하여 토석류의 흐름 특성을 계산하였다. 이와 더불어 연행침식의 계산을 위해 발생지점 부터 토석류가 퇴적된 하류부까지 기반암의 노출 및 퇴적 정보를 통해 최대 침식 깊이를 추정하여 입력자료로 활용하였다. 토석류 맵핑자료와 비교 결과 정확도가 90%이상으로 나타났으며, 토석류 발생 후 안성 200초, 음성 180초 그리고 단성 180초 이내로 토석류가 하류까지 이동할 수 있는 것으로 계산되었다. 본 연구와 같이 산사태/토석류 발생 메커니즘 해석에 대한 지속적인 연구를 통해 산지 재해에 의한 인명 피해를 줄일 수 있는 토석류확산범위 해석에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

산 사면의 지반이 붕괴되어 흙, 모래, 자갈 그리고 물 등이 혼합하여 유동하는 토석류는 예측과 대비가 어려운 자연재해 중 하나 이다. 특히, 강우로 인해 발생하는 토석류의 경우 매우 빠르게 유동하기 때문에 피해 예측이 제한적이다. 이러한 토석류가 도심지역 또는 마을주변에서 발생할 경우 많은 인명 및 재산 피해가 발생한다. 따라서 토석류의 유동을 최소화시키기 위해선 1차적으로 수치모형을 통한 전반적인 유동 및 피해 규모 예측이 이루어져야 하며, 이러한 분석을 바탕으로 사방댐과 같은 구조물의 효율적인 설계가 이루어져야 한다. 이에 수치모형을 통해 토석류의 유동을 분석하고자 하는 많은 연구가 진행된 바 있으며, 사방댐 설계 분석 또한 수치모형과 실험을 통해 연구된 바 있다. 선행연구들에 따르면, 1) 발생부로부터의 거리, 2) 토석류 에너지의 감소, 3) 침식-연행 작용, 4) 사방댐의 용량 등이 효율적인 사방댐 설계에 영향을 미친다고 분석된 바 있다. 하지만 위의 항목들에 대한 종합적인 비교분석은 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에선 위에서 제시한 4가지의 항목들을 바탕으로 사방댐 설계에 중요한 요소를 평가하고 산정하고자 한다. 토석류의 유동과 사방댐을 모의분석하기 위해 Deb2D 수치모형을 활용하였으며, Voellmy 유변학적 모형과 침식-연행-퇴적 작용을 분석할 수 있는 알고리즘을 사용하여 토석류의 유동을 현실에 가깝게 모의하였다. 2011년 서울 우면산에서 발생한 산사태 유역들 중에서 래미안 아파트 유역과2019년 강원도 갈남리에서 발생한 산사태를 대상지구로 선정하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면 4가지 요소들 중에서 사방댐의 용량이 효율적인 사방댐 설계에 가장 주요한 요인으로 분석되었다.
