Drought is considered as a devastating hazard that causes serious agricultural, ecological and socio-economic impacts worldwide. Fundamentally, the drought can be defined as temporarily different levels of inadequate precipitation, soil moisture, and water supply relative to the long-term average conditions. From no unified definition of droughts, droughts have been divided into different severity level, i.e., moderate drought, severe drought, extreme drought and exceptional drought. The drought severity classification defined the ranges for each indicator for each dryness level. Because the ranges of the various indicators often don't coincide, the final drought category tends to be based on what the majority of the indicators show and on local observations. Evaporative Stress Index (ESI), a satellite-based drought index using the ratio of potential and actual evaporation, is being used as a index of the droughts occurring rapidly in a short period of time from studies showing a more sensitive and fast response to drought compared to Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), and Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). However, ESI is difficult to provide an objective drought assessment because it does not have clear drought severity classification criteria. In this study, U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM), the standard for drought determination used in the United States, was applied to ESI, and the Percentile method was used to classify drought categories by severity. Regarding the actual 2017 drought event in South Korea, we compare the spatial distribution of drought area and understand the USDM-based ESI by comparing the results of Standardized Groundwater level Index (SGI) and drought impact information. These results demonstrated that the USDM-based ESI could be an effective tool to provide objective drought conditions to inform management decisions for drought policy.

본 연구는 청미천 유역을 대상으로 1985년부터 2015년까지의 가뭄지수를 이용하여 첨두 가뭄심도와 가뭄기간을 분석하였다. 이을 위해 기상학적 가뭄지수로는 강수량만을 변수로 하는 SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index)와 강수량과 증발산량을 함께 고려하는 SPEI (Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index)를 적용하였으며, 수문학적 가뭄지수는 유역의 유출량을 변수로 하는 SDI (Streamflow drought index)를 적용하였다. SDI의 경우 청미천 유역을 구축한 SWAT 모형을 이용하여 도출한 유출량을 사용하였다. 그 결과 첨두 가뭄심도의 발생시기는 SPI, SPEI의 발생 후에 SDI가 발생하는 양상을 보였으며 평균적으로 SDI와 SPI는 0.59개월, SPEI는 0.72개월의 차이를 보인다. 최대 발생지체 시간은 SPI, SPEI 모두 2개월을 보인다. 또한 기상학적 가뭄이 해결될 수 있는 강우량임에도 수문학적 가뭄을 해결하지 못하는 경우가 발생함을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 전압 이벤트 현상 중 순간전압강하(Sag) 현상에 초점을 맞추었다. Sag 현상의 심각한 정도를 표현하는 심각도(Voltage Sag Severity) 지수는 동일 지속시간에 대한 임계치와의 비로 표현하였다. 제안하는 확장된 심각도(Expanded Severity) 지수는 sag현상의 분포에 따른 일시반복성의 정보를 표현하였다. 기존의 임계치를 표현하는 ITIC curve를 기반으로 된 심각도와 sag 현상이 발생하는 지속시간-전압 그래프의 분포를 fuzzy clustering을 통하여 medoid를 측정하고, medoid의 심각도와 실제 임계치에 근접한 sag 지점의 심각도를 계산하여 비교하였다. 확장된 심각도 지수는 심각도가 높은 현상들과의 연계성을 나타내는 지수로 심각한 정도의 수치 정보 이외에 일시적인 현상인지 지속 반복적인 현상인지를 0과 1사이의 수치로 표현하였고, 실험을 통하여 입증하였다.

본 연구는 1985년부터 2015년까지 지속기간에 따른 청미천 유역의 가뭄을 분석하였다. 가뭄의 정량적 평가를 위해 기상학적 가뭄지수와 수문학적 가뭄지수를 사용하였다. 기상학적 가뭄지수로는 강수량을 변수로 하는 SPI(Standarized Precipitation Index)와 강수량과 증발산량을 변수로 하는 SPEI(Standarized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index)를 사용하였다. SWAT 모형의 모의를 통해 도출된 결과를 바탕으로 농업학적 가뭄지수인 PDSI(Palmer Drought Severity Index)와 수문학적 가뭄지수인 SDI(Streamflow Drought Index)를 적용하였다. 산정 결과, 극한 및 평균 가뭄의 평균에서 2015년과 2014년이 가장 가뭄에 취약함이 확인되었다. 빈도분석에 따른 가뭄의 변동성은 서로 다른 형태를 보였다. 또한 상관분석에서 극한 가뭄 및 평균 가뭄은 PDSI를 제외한 SPI, SPEI, SDI 가뭄지수간에는 높은 상관관계가 확인되었다. 하지만 각 가뭄지수는 서로 다른 극한가뭄의 시기 및 강도를 보였다. 따라서 가뭄분석시 다양한 특성을 지닌 가뭄지수를 활용하는 것이 필요하다.

Objective : Health insurers and policy makers are increasingly examining the hospital mortality rate as an indicator of hospital quality and performance. To be meaningful, a risk-adjustment of the death rates must be implemented. This study reviewed 5 severity measurement methods and applied them to the same data set to determine whether judgments regarding the severity-adjusted hospital mortality rates were sensitive to the specific severity measure. Methods : The medical records of 584 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery in 6 general hospitals during 1996 and 1997 were reviewed by trained nurses. The MedisGroups, Disease Staging, Computerized Severity Index, APACHE III and KDRG were used to quantify severity of the patients. The predictive probability of death was calculated for each patient in the sample from a multivariate logistic regression model including the severity score, age and sex to evaluate the hospitals' performance, the ratio of the observed number of deaths to the expected number for each hospital was calculated. Results : The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 7.0%, ranging from 2.7% to 15.7% depending on the particular hospital. After the severity adjustment, the mortality rates for each hospital showed little difference according to the severity measure. The 5 severity measurement methods varied in their statistical performance. All had a higher c statistic and $R^2$ than the model containing only age and sex. There was a little difference in the relative hospital performance evaluation by the severity measure. Conclusion : These results suggest that judgments regarding a hospital's performance based on severity adjusted mortality can be sensitive to the severity measurement method. Although the 5 severity measures regarding hospital performance concurred, more often than would be expected by chance, the assessment of an individual hospital mortality rates varied by the different severity measurement method used.

North Korea is one of the vulnerable countries facing the threat of a drought, so that it is unavoidable to experience fatal damage when drought is occurred, and it is necessary to improve the drought response capability of water resources systems. However, it is still difficult to find research efforts for drought characteristics and drought management in North Korea. This study is to quantify drought duration and magnitude and to analyze drought characteristics in North Korea. In order to quantitatively identify historical drought conditions and to evaluate their variability, drought indices are commonly used. In this study, drought indices including dry-day index, deciles of normal precipitation, Phillips drought index, standardized precipitation index and Palmer drought severity index are calculated and compared monthly using the weather data for the twenty one meteorological stations in North Korea. The indices compared with the drought damage records that have reported from 1990 to present to understand how the indices can explain the drought. A comparative study was also conducted to evaluate the relative severity of the significant droughts occurred during 2000 and 2001 which were reported as the worst drought in North Korea. Drought indices calculated from this study demonstrated that those can be the effective tools in quantitatively evaluating drought severity and measures of drought. Thus it is recommended the distributed trend of drought be considered when the plan or measures for drought in North Korea are established.
