Background: This study aimed toanalyze the risk behavior for cervical cancer (CC) and the human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and resolution among women who received care through the private healthcare network of a municipality in southern Brazil. Materials and Methods: This descriptive and retrospective study was conducted with 25 women aged 20 to 59 years who received care through the private healthcare network and were treated at a specialty clinic in the period from January to December 2012 in a municipality in Northwest Parana, Southern Brazil. Data from medical records with cytological and HPV results were used. Following treatment, these women were followed-up and reassessed after 6 months. Data were statistically analyzed using the t-test and chi-squared test at a 5% significance level. Results: The mean age of the studied women was $27.8{\pm}7.75$ years old, and the majority were married, with paid employment and were non-smokers. The mean age at menarche was $13.0{\pm}0.50$ years old, and the mean age at first intercourse was $17.5{\pm}1.78$ years, with only 8.0% (2) initiating sexual activity at an age ${\leq}15$ years old. The majority had 1 to 2 children (60.0%), while 88.0% reported having had one sexual partner in their lifetime, and all the women were sexually active. A total of 68.0% used a hormonal contraceptive method. All the women had leukorrhea and pain and were infected by a single HPV type. Regarding the lesion grade, 80.0% showed high risk and 20.0% low risk. The most prevalent high-risk HPV strain was 16. Conclusions: These findings provide relevant information on HPV risk factors and infection, as well as the treatment and 6-month follow-up results, in economically and socially advantaged women with no traditional risk factors, corroborating previous reports that different risk factors may be described in different populations. Thus, this study reinforces the fact that even women without the traditional risk factors should undergo HPVmonitoring and assessment to determine the persistence of infection, promoting early diagnosis of the lesions presented and appropriate treatment to thus prevent the occurrence of CC.

본 논문은 실시간 범죄대응 및 예방적 방범을 위한 지능형 방범 통합 플랫폼 개발 연구를 진행하였다. 방범 시스템 및 플랫폼 연구, 지능형 방범 관련 연구 등의 선행연구와 지자체 통합운영센터 방범시스템 사례를 분석하여 지능형 방범 플랫폼 요소를 설정하였다. 이를 통해 실질적인 지능형 방범 플랫폼을 개발하고, 확장성을 고려한 기존 지자체 및 스마트시티 통합플랫폼 시스템과의 연계방안을 제시하였다. 이를 통해 기존 지자체 통합관제센터에서 사후처리로만 활용되는 CCTV 모니터링을 실시간 범죄에도 대응 가능하게 하고, 실외 뿐 아니라 실내에서도 신고자의 정밀한 위치를 파악하여 골든타임 내 사건 사고를 해결할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 관제효율 향상 뿐 아니라 시민참여를 강화하여 시민 중심의 범죄 예방형 사회안전망 정보공유서비스 제공이 가능하다. 지능형 방범 플랫폼은 기존 지자체 시스템 및 스마트시티 통합플랫폼을 비롯한 타 방범서비스와의 연계 확장성을 고려하여 개발하였으므로 지자체 확산 보급되기 용이한 장점을 가진다. 향후 지능형 방범 플랫폼의 실질적 적용 및 운영, 지자체 확산을 위한 정책적 지원 등의 후속연구가 진행되어 국민들이 안전한 생활을 영위하는데 도움이 되길 기대한다.

최근 국내 도시개발 업계의 제3세계 개발도상국가 도시계획용역 및 도시개발사업 참여기회가 크게 증대하는 추세이며, 이는 국내 개발여건 침체국면 타개를 위한 유효 대안으로서 크게 기대되고 있다. 그러나 대부분 개발타당성 검토과정에서부터 당면하는 애로사항 중 하나가 당해 개발도상국의 기초통계자료 및 공간정보 부재라 하겠다. 국가지리정보나 수치지도 등의 구축은 개도국 차원에서 단기간 내 완성하기는 어렵기 때문에 따라서 개발참여를 위한 기초조사, 분석 및 기본계획 단계에서부터 큰 리스크를 감수할 수밖에 없는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구는 이러한 맥락에서 아프리카 북단에 위치한 알제리의 밥 에주아흐 지역을 대상으로 대체적 방법을 통해 지역현황 분석 및 기본계획 작성에 필요한 개략적인 지역 베이스맵 준비과정을 시연해 봄으로써 자료한계 문제를 극복하기 위한 대안을 제시해 보고자 한다. 이를 위해, 온라인에서 획득 가능한 맵타일로부터 모자이크 맵을 구축하고 위성사진을 기반으로 건축물 특성자료를 구축하며, 수치입력 방법으로 도로 네트워크를 구축하는 등 일련의 기술적 과정을 예시해 보고자 한다. 또한 이렇게 구축된 베이스맵에 근거해 기초적 마스터플랜 개념도를 예시해 봄으로써 그 응용 가능성을 예시해 보고자 한다.

Asbestos have been used around the world by physical and chemical characteristics that are a reliable and cost-effective. But asbestos, once called the miracle of mineral, is now a quiet time bomb. Asbestos hazards have been studied and the government has pursued 'Comprehensive Measures for Asbestos Management' jointly with related departments. As a part of plan, Ministry of Environment is to introduce legislation 'Asbestos Safety Management Act' through Environment Announcement No. 2010-108. The same Act. 24 shows as follows. Minister of Environment or governor should do survey on the actual condition targeting rural buildings with slates and partly or fully fund to dissolve, remove asbestos slate which was used in each building. However, the local survey was only conducted by each municipality regionally. And there is no actual condition data by area, application and year, and there was no data on disposal costs concerning asbestos slate buildings In this study, discharge of asbestos slate was calculated per unit area and formula was developed with regression analysis. In addition, Demolition, dismantling, disposal costs were computed via a phone survey to disposal companies and then this study proposed standards for this.

The present study deals with the management of groundwater resources of an important agriculture track of north-western part of Saudi Arabia. Due to strategic importance of the area efforts have been made to estimate aquifer proneness to attenuate contamination. This includes determining hydrodynamic behavior of the groundwater system. The important parameters of any vulnerability model are geological formations in the region, depth to water levels, soil, rainfall, topography, vadose zone, the drainage network and hydraulic conductivity, land use, hydrochemical data, water discharge, etc. All these parameters have greater control and helps determining response of groundwater system to a possible contaminant threat. A widely used DRASTIC model helps integrate these data layers to estimate vulnerability indices using GIS environment. DRASTIC parameters were assigned appropriate ratings depending upon existing data range and a constant weight factor. Further, land-use pattern map of study area was integrated with vulnerability map to produce pollution risk map. A comparison of DRASTIC model was done with GOD and AVI vulnerability models. Model validation was done with $NO_3$, $SO_4$ and Cl concentrations. These maps help to assess the zones of potential risk of contamination to the groundwater resources.

Outbreaks of tick-borne disease cases in Santa Catarina, Brazil are known, but the presence of the pathogen DNA has never been determined. In this study, the first survey of Anaplasma marginale, Babesia bigemina, and Babesia bovis DNA on blood samples of 33 cattle from an outbreak in Ponte Alta Municipality, Santa Catarina, Brazil, has been carried out. A multiplex PCR detected 54.5% of animals were co-infected with 2 or 3 parasites, while 24.2% were infected with only 1 species. The most prevalent agent was B. bigemina (63.6%) followed by A. marginale (60.6%). This is the first report of tick-borne disease pathogens obtained by DNA analysis in Southern Brazil.

Air pollution is a challenging issue in some of the large cities in developing countries. In this regard, data interpretation is one of the most important parts of air quality management. Several methods exist to analyze air quality; among these, we applied the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) methods to predict the hourly air concentration of benzene in 14 districts in the municipality of Tehran. Input data were hourly temperature, wind speed and relative humidity. Both methods determined reliable results. However, the RBF neural network performance was much closer to observed benzene data than the MLP neural network. The correlation determination resulted in 0.868 for MLP and 0.907 for RBF, while the Index of Agreement (IA) was 0.889 for MLP and 0.937 for RBF. The sensitivity analysis related to the MLP neural network indicated that the temperature had the greatest effect on prediction of benzene in comparison with the wind speed and humidity in the study area. The temperature was the most significant factor in benzene production because benzene is a volatile liquid.

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the healthy living practice rate such as non-smoking, moderate drinking, walking, and low-salt diet by elementary municipality (so called, 'si-gun-hu'). Methods: The 2016 Korean Community Health Survey was used for the analysis. The theoretical model is founded upon the Anderson model, and both the multiple linear regression analysis and the beta regression analysis was performed for estimation. Results: As a result of the beta regression analysis, healthy living practice rate was found to be significantly higher in the areas with a less number of cigarette retailers, participating in healthy city projects, a low proportion of people who perceive their body type as obesity, a higher proportion of women, and a lower proportion of spouses. Conclusion: In order to improve healthy living practices, the regulations on health risk businesses, the spread of Healthy City project, and policy efforts awaring obesity are recommended.
