  • The objective of this study is to introduce the definitions and classification methods of wastes in international agreements and legislations, examine the concept of wastes and their classification systems in Korea, and finally analyze and compare the concept of wastes in different countries for finding better solutions and suggestions. The study summarizes the concept of wastes as introduced in the Basel Convention, OECD, EU, US, and UK. First, each of the member countries adapt to the same concepts of wastes as defined in their international agreements; second, the intention of the wastes holder and the conditions of the wastes are considered at the same time when defining the concepts. Upon close examination of the classification of wastes systems as introduced in the Basel Convention, OECD, EU, US, and UK, the wastes are classified into toxic and non-toxic wastes according to the existence of poisonous substances. Therefore, it is classified as a toxic waste when any toxic substance on its list is included in the waste, while others are considered as a non-toxic waste if they don't contain poisonous substances. Secondly, in the UK, the matter of toxic or non-toxic wastes are classified, not according to the existence of the poisonous substances, but based on the generation of sources. In Korea, the concepts of wastes are divided into the two categories - a concept as defined in actual legislations and a concept in its translation. The Korean classification of the wastes include Wastes Management Act, amended in 1995, which stipulates that toxic substances should be managed in a special way as the designated wastes. It appears that the Act utilizes the classification method that classifies the wastes according to the existence of poisonous substance. Korea's concepts of wastes should be changed after recognition of the concepts in international agreement (Basel Convention, EU) and other foreign laws(US, UK) that consider subjective and objective standards at the same time when they define the concepts. Also, the development of technology in recycling and reuse of the wastes can remove the current absolute notion of the wastes so that it also should not be passed over. Also, because a classification structure of wastes has a close relationship with a disposal structure, its classification system should be fixed gradually to come up with the development of wastes disposal technology and its policy.

  • 최근 웹의 패러다임을 주도하고 있는 웹 2.0에 관한 주요 논의 요소를 도출하고 국토지리정보체계에 적용할 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 웹 2.0이란 서버-클라이언트 중심의 정적인 기존 웹 환경에 대비해 개방과 참여, 공유 등 사용자 중심의 웹 플랫폼을 제공하는 차세대 웹 환경을 뜻한다. 웹 2.0을 구현한 지리정보 서비스 사례들은 국토지리정보체계에 새로운 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 국토지리정보체계에 웹 2.0을 적용하기 위해서는 기술뿐만 아니라 정보와 서비스 및 사용자에 대한 접근태도의 변화가 필요하다. 정보를 관리하는 관점이 소유나 독점이 아니라 공유와 개방으로 전환되어야 한다. 현재 대부분의 공공기관들은 정보시스템을 포털화하려는 경향이 강하다. 그러나 웹 2.0시대에서 포털서비스는 하나의 정보 허브 역할을 하는 것이 바람직하다. 대신에 사용자가 파일 탐색기와 같은 손쉬운 방법으로 원하는 정보와 기능을 모아서 개인 블로그 형태로 만들 수 있게 하여야 한다. 웹 2.0을 국토지리정보체계에 적용하기 위해서는 해결해야 할 문제점들도 있다. 우선 각 기관에서 운영하고 있는 국토지리정보 시스템들의 폐쇄성 극복과 표준화된 자료구축 체계를 마련하는 것이 선행되어야 한다. 또한 외형적으로만 웹 2.0을 표방하면서 실제로는 기존 시스템의 형태만 바꿔 정보를 나열하는 식의 획일화 된 서비스는 지양해야 한다.

  • 본 연구는 PHC말뚝의 단점인 전단력을 보강한 기능성말뚝을 개발하여 보다 경제적이고 합리적인 말뚝의 현장 적용에 기여하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 CFP말뚝은 링형 합성 전단연결재를 배치하고 PHC말뚝 중공부에 콘크리트를 속채움함으로써 말뚝의 전단성능을 증대시키고, PHC말뚝 내 보강철근(H13-8ea)과 말뚝 중공부의 보강철근(H19-8ea)을 배치하여 횡보강철근비 증대에 따른 전단강도를 향상시켰다. 또한, 속채움 콘크리트와 PHC말뚝의 합성거동을 위해 말뚝 보강철근의 정착 홀이 형성된 합성 전단연결재를 배치하여 보강철근의 다월력을 말뚝의 전단강도 증진에 효과적으로 반영시켰다. CFP말뚝의 전단설계와 성능을 검증하고자 도로교설계기준의 한계상태설계법(2012)을 적용한 전단강도를 산출하였고, 말뚝 시험규정인 KS F 4306에서 제시한 실험방법을 통해 결과값을 비교 검토하였다. CFP말뚝의 단면별 설계전단강도와 실험결과 각 시험체는 설계전단강도 대비 평균 2.20, 2.15, 2.05의 안전율을 확보하는 것으로 나타나 효과적인 전단강도 예측이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

  • The problems of growth & development due to maladjustment are gradually increasing while need for the treatment of children's diseases is decreasing. The level of developmental deficiency or delay correlates with neonatal birth weight and also with gestational age, i.e. degrees of prematurity. There-fore, developmental defects and potential risk factors' are more Common in premature infants than in full term infants. The purpose of this study is to define the difference in the growth at developmental status between premature and full term infants, and to define the relation between the developmental status and the physical growth during the first 3 years' Data were collected from January 10, 1985 to April 6, 1985 at 3 hospitals including St. Mary's Hospital, and through home visiting. The subjects of this study consisted of 79 Premature infants (G.A. <37wks. & B.W. <2.5kg) and 94 full term infants (G.A.≥37 wks. & B.W.≥2.5kg). The study method used was a questionnaire, anthropometric assessment and DDST for normative data of growth & development. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test and t-test. The results of the study were as follows: Hypothesis: 1 : That the prematures will differ from the full term infants in the physical growth status during the first 3 years was partially supported (p<0.02) : The prematures reached up the full term infants in the physical growth status in the first 6 months. And, the first hypothesis was supported (P<0.01) : There are more cases which is below‘the Korean children's physical. growth standards’in prematures than in full term infants. Hypothesis 2 : That the prematures will differ from the full term infants in the developmental status during the first 3 years was supported (P< 0.001);‘Normal’developmental status due to DDST was less in prematures than in full term infants. And, the second hypothesis was Partially supported (P<0.02) : The developmental status of the pre-matures was different from that of the full term infants within the first 3 months by analysis of passed items in DDST, Hypothesis 3 : That the prematures' developmental status will relate to their physical growth during the first 3 years was supported (P<0.001) : If the prematures' developmental status is in delayed status, then, their physical growth status is also in delayed status. This study shows that the prematures differed significantly from the full term infants in the growth at developmental status during their infancy. This means that the nurse can foster the growth & development of the prematures by supportive care during their infancy. Further longitudinal study is needed to verify these findings for the environmental factors.

  • This study investigated contents of mission statements for Strategic Management of hospitals in Korea and Japan. For the study, 44 tertiary care hospitals in korea, which were accredited by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, were selected. And 83 special functioning hospitals in Japan, which were approved by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare, were included. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted by classifying 5 components of the mission statement; market, service, philosophy, image, contribution. Findings from this study are as follow. First, hospitals in Korea emphasized image(93.2%) and philosophy(81.8%) components in their mission statements, whereas hospitals in Japan highlighted components of service(89.2%) and market(72.3%). In detail, mission statements of Korean tertiary care hospitals describe the components of hospital's image (93.2%), philosophy(81.8%), contribution(56.8%), market(22.7%) and service (18.2%) in order. On the other hand, mission statements of Japanese special functioning hospitals describe hospital's service(89.2%), market(72.3%), contribution(61.4%), image (49.4%) and philosophy(34.9%), respectively. Second, as results of Content analysis, there were some differences in mission statements of hospitals between two countries, and it is mainly from the divergences of standards for recognition of medical institutions, environmental factors, and different ways of mission statement description. For strategic hospital management, carrying out innovative restructuring organization or promoting of research and training for medical development is considered as a desirable approach. However, clear description of mission statement is more important and it is required for effective control and managing organization. And then the mission should be communicated within an organization so all internal members understand it and put their efforts to achieve the mission of organization. In conclusion, it is recommended that a leader and senior managers should re-evaluate its mission statement whether it reflects characteristics of an organization. In addition, a mission statement should be created or improved based on critical decision, as well as it should be clearly shared within an organization in order to become a future oriented organizations.

  • 질산성 질소는 대표적인 지하수 오염물질로써 우리나라를 비롯한 여러 국가들이 음용수 중의 질산성 질소 농도를 WHO 권고기준인 10 mg/L as N 이하로 규제하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 처리하고자 하는 물질과의 접촉면적을 극대화 시켜줄 수 있는 영가철 충진 복극전해조를 이용하여 지하수 중의 질산성 질소를 처리하기 위해 다양하게 실험조건을 변화시켜 최적의 효율을 얻고자 하였다. 실험결과로서 영가철을 환원제로 사용할 때, 질산성 질소는 산성조건에서 좋은 제거효율을 보여주었으며, 산성조건을 유지시켜주지 않았을 때 암모니아성 질소로 환원되는 과정에서 수산화기 발생으로 pH가 증가하여 환원반응에 필요한 수소이온이 감소함으로 효율이 점차 감소하는 문제가 발생하였다. 복극전해조에서, 영가철과 주문진규사의 충진비는 0.5~1:1에서 제거효율이 가장 좋았으며 이는 각각의 영가철 입자가 미세전극으로 작용했기 때문이라고 판단된다. 충진비 2:1 이상에서는 점진적인 침전물의 형성 및 clogging의 가속화로 제거효율이 감소하였다. 인가전압이 상승할수록 제거효율이 높아졌으나 반응기 내 bypass current가 증가하는 것으로 확인되었으며 소비되는 전력량이 비례 이상으로 증가하였다. 본 실험에서는 최적 인가전압을 50 V로 결정하였고 그 때 질산성 질소를 94.9% 제거할 수 있었다.

  • 현행 국내 1등교 활하중 설계기준은 DB-24하중과 DL-24하중을 적용하고 있다. 특히 45m 이상의 장경간 교량에서는 DB-24하중보다 DL-24 하중에 의한 전단력, 모멘트가 지배적인 것으로 나타나 대부분 DL-24하중을 적용하여 설계하고 있다. 그러나 실제 교량에서트럭하중은 한 점에 머무르며 작용하지 않고 교량 위를 종방향으로 이동하며 작용하므로, 이러한 이동 효과를 고려하여 이동트럭하중(ML-24)을 정의하여 DL-24하중과 비교한 결과, DL-24하중은 50m 경간을 기준으로 이동트럭 하중(ML-24)에 의한 전단력을 전 구간에서 만족시키지 못하였고, 모멘트의 경우도 일부구간에서 만족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 논문에서는 경간 50m를 기준으로 현재 DL-24하중을 구성하는 하중 인자를 조정하여 새로운 활하중 모델인 RL-24하중을 제시하였으며, 이를 경간 45~60m 단순교에 적용시켜 검토한 결과, 실제 작용 하중과 유사한 ML-24하중에 의해 교량에 작용하는 모멘트와 전단력을 모두 만족하였으며, 특히 문제점으로 발견되었던 부재 중앙과 부재 단부에서의 전단력 비율이 일정하게 유지되는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 국내의 활하중 모델들과의 비교를 통하여 RL-24하중 조정안의 적절성과 그 적용성을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 최근 연구개발과 실용화가 활발한 60m 경간급의 1등급 교량에 대하여 실제 트럭의 이동 효과를 고려하여 모멘트와 전단력에 대하여 합리적인 설계가 이루어질 수 있도록 새로운 설계기준을 제시하였다.

  • Recently, reproductive and neurobehavioral effects of bisphenol A (BPA) have been documented, and thus a review was requested for BPA management direction by the government. Therefore, this study was performed to establish a Korean tolerable daily intake (TDI) for BPA. An expert committee, consisting of specialists in fields such as toxicology, medicine, pharmacology, and statistics, was asked to evaluate BPA health based guidance values (HbGVs). Although many toxicological studies were reviewed to select a point of departure (POD) for TDI, rat and mouse reproductive studies by Tyl et al. (2002, 2006), which were performed according to GLP standards and OECD guidelines, were selected. This POD was the lowest value determined from the most sensitive toxicological test. The POD, a NOAEL of 5 mg/kg bw/day, was selected based on its systemic toxicity as critical effects. An uncertainty factor of 100 including interspecies and intraspecies differences was applied to calculate the TDI. According to the evaluation results, a TDI of BPA for Korean was suggested at 0.05 mg/kg bw/day. In addition, the BPA exposure level based on food consumption by the Korean population was estimated as 1.509 ${\mu}g/kg$ bw/day, and the HI was evaluated at 0.03 when the TDI of 0.05 mg/kg bw/day was applied. This HI value of 0.03 indicated that hazardous effects would not be expected from BPA oral exposures. Although highly uncertain, further studies on low dose neurobehavioral effects of BPA should be performed. In addition, it is recommended that the 'as low as reasonably achievable' (ALARA) principle be applied for BPA exposure from food packaging materials in newborn infants and children.

  • 2014년에 시행된 생물다양성 보전 및 이용에 관한 법률에 따라 외래생물의 사전예방적 관리 제도가 마련되었다. 아직 국내에 도입되지 않았으나 도입될 경우 생태계에 침입하여 부정적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 외래생물 중 포유류, 조류, 어류, 연체동물, 곤충, 식물을 포함한 24종이 위해우려종으로 지정되었다. 위해우려종을 국내로 수입 반입하고자 할 경우에는 환경부장관으로부터 승인을 받아야 한다. 이러한 제도는 기존의 법 체계에 비해 사전관리가 도입되었다는 측면에서 발전한 것이지만, 몇가지 개선해야 할 점이 있다. 첫째, 위해우려종의 범주 확대이다. 현재의 국내에 도입이 되지 않은 외래생물 대상에서, 국내에 도입되어 수족관, 식물원, 동물원 등의 사육 또는 재배시설 안에 제한적으로 존재하며 아직 생태계에는 정착되지 않은 외래생물까지 고려할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 정부에서는 수입 반입 신청자를 위하여 위해 우려종의 생태계위해성심사 세부 기준과 위해우려종이 자연 환경으로 탈출하는 것을 방지할 수 있는 안전관리 지침을 제공하여야 한다. 셋째, 위해우려종의 탈출에 대한 조기 탐지 및 신속 대응 방법 및 프로토콜이 개발되어야 한다.

  • Species biotic index (SBI), based on a fish assemblage, was applied to a stream assessment using long-term ecological fish data set (1996 to 2001) in Boryong dam area, which is located in the mainstream of Ungchun Stream of Chungnam province, Korea. According to the methods of Hilsenhoff (1988), the scores of tolerance guild assigned 10 classes to each species by its habitat and feeding guild, but modified current 7 criteria to 5 scoring standards due to unclear borderline among species. Relative abundance in the species number of upper stream guilds was only 7% of the total, whereas the abundance in the species number of middle to downstream upper stream guilds was 64%. Mean SBI, based on dataset in Site 1 during 1995-2001 averaged 5.10, which was judged as a "good" condition by the rank criteria of SBI. Before the dam construction, mean SBI in the Site 1 was 4.61, indicating a "good" condition, but after the dam construction, mean SBI was 5.60, indicating a "fair" condition. Trajectory analysis in the Site 1 showed significantly (One-way ANOVA, $F_{6,21}=3.26$, p=0.02) different among years, reflecting the changes of fish composition and population density by the dam construction, whereas Site 2 showed no significant changes ($F_{6,21}=1.00$, P =0.45) difference among years. Mean SBI prior to the dam construction in the Site 3 was 4.52 but after the construction, the value was 6.30, indicating a distinct difference between the pre- and post-dam construction. Trajectory analysis at the Site 3 supported this fact: Values of SBI showed significantly ($F_{6,21}$=14.37, p<0.01) different. Mean SBI was 4.67 in the Site 4, indicating a "good" condition in the health and the health rank was same as the sampling sites 1, 2, and 4. Trajectory in the Site 4 showed no significant ($F_{6,21}=2.35$, p=0.07) difference among the years. Overall, our trajectory analysis indicated that three of four sampling sites (sites 1, 3, 4) showed significant decreases (n=7, p<0.05) and that the proportions of sensitive species declined evidently in the sites 1 and 2 and the tolerant species increased in the dam sites. Our outcomes may be used as a key data for diagnosis of the long-term ecological impact in the future in the watershed.
