  • 본 연구는 최근 급격히 늘어난 국내 원전 보도의 불균형성에 대한 비판을 문제의식으로 하여 원전에 대한 정보를 직접적으로 얻는 유관기관 종사자들과 심층인터뷰를 통해 국내 원전 보도에 대하여 어떻게 인식하고 있는지 파악했다. 원전에 대한 논의에서 당사자적 입장을 갖는 이들은 원전보도가 원자력에 대한 부정적 측면만 편중보도하고 있으며, 위험에 대해서만 과장되고 왜곡된 보도를, 전문지식의 부족으로 원전에 대한 몰이해를 유발하고 있다고 인식하고 있었다. '원전 비리' 사건에 대해서는 더욱 철저히 파헤쳐야 한다고 인식하고 있었다. 이로서 선정적이고 위협적 소구에 편중된 프레임을 초월하는 균형 잡힌 원전보도를 위해 저널리즘적 성찰과 경계에서 나아가 과학적 전문 지식의 점검, 에너지 영역 전문 기자 양성 등 과학보도에 대한 정책적 변화의 필요성을 촉구했다.

  • Objectives: Radiation is one of the most important sources of free radical (such as reactive oxygen species) production, which plays an essential role in the etiology of over hundred diseases. The aim of the study was to investigate some immune parameters and hematological indices in healthy workers of the Radiology Department, University Hospital of Mashhad, Iran. Methods: The study was performed on 50 healthy workers: 30 radiology staff as the case group and 20 laboratory workers as the control group. The radiation dose received by the radiology staff participating in the study was less than the annual maximum permissible level, 50 millisievert. Hematological parameters, lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine production were studied in both groups. Results: Among healthy radiology workers, the hematological indices did not differ statistically; however, their proliferation indices and $IFN-{\gamma}$ levels showed significant increases in parallel with decreases in the IL-4 levels as compared to controls. The immune system of workers exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation was found to be shifted from a Type 2 to a Type 1 response to promote cellular immunity. Conclusion: Based on our data, exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation may decrease the prevalence, frequency, and recurrence of various cancers and infectious diseases because of an increase in Th1-cell-based response, thus leading to more protection of the human body against tumor cells and foreign agents and possibly increased longevity. However, due to high rate of fluoroscopy use for interventional radiology, we suggest continuing research projects on radiation protection and hazards to prevent irreversible damage. As a recommendation, in future studies, radiology staff with a weakened immunity due to high radiation exposure should be considered as good choices to be treated using acupuncture techniques because acupuncture has been demonstrated to enhance the function and the number of immune cells.

  • 본 논문은 국내외 경제 활동은 지역 간 이동성에 미치는 영향성을 연구한다. 동유럽에서는 인적 자원과 수요가 여전히 부족하다. 특히 우크라이나 인들은 희소 한 지역을 보충하기 위해 폴란드 노동 시장에 진출했다. 결과적으로 우크라이나의 폴란드 수요와 공급은 불균형하다. 최저 임금 인상은 고용주에게 지속적인 압력을 가하고 있다. 따라서 구직자의 경제 활동 비율,y=AX2+B,(x=정착)형태의 회귀 방정식을 사용하여 곡선 간의 관계를 파악할 수 있다. 이주한 국내외 노동자에 따르면 경제 활동은 지역 인구를 늘리는 것이 아니라 인근 대도시의 정착민이 더 비례한다. 실증적 분석에 따르면 인적 자원 허브가 대도시 및 산업으로의 이동이 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 허브 A 국가는 4 차 재산업에서 이동성을 위해 만들어졌으며 다른 도시에서와 동일한 재산업화 (N2)가 인근 인력을 유치했지만 정착하지는 못했다. 결국 N1과 N2의 허브 관계는 이동 관계이다. 임금 불평등이나 긍정적인 후생 단절로 인해 노동자들은 공장 지역이 아니라 인근 도시에 정착하거나 국경 사이의 통근이 허브 중심 도시로 가기 쉽다. 그러나 이것은 인공지능 시대의 상대적으로 일시적인 정착민들로부터 대두된다.

  • In this thesis, the domestic and foreign legislative background and legislative process of the Serious Accident Punishment Act were reviewed, and the Serious Accident Punishment Act in Korea was reviewed. In 2022, more safety accidents occurred in the construction industry than in other fields, and in particular, the most deaths occurred in the 'fall' type. In April 2023, regarding two criminal first-instance trial cases, the courts all sentenced guilty, and in one case, the representative of the company(CEO) was sentenced to imprisonment and was arrested. In response, the management side expresses the opinion that the punishment is excessive and there is a concern that corporate management will shrink, while the workers side(Union) argues that the responsibility of the business operator or manager should be strengthened by heavier punishment. As a countermeasure to overcome rationally, we present a plan in terms of legislation and resolution process. In other words, we present a review of the amendment to the Serious Accident Punishment Act and the Court Organization Act. In addition, guidelines for the a safety and health system must be implemented, and if an accident occurs, it must be dealt with reasonably. As a result, safety accidents in the construction industry should drastically decrease and safety culture should be properly established.

  • Objectives: Outdoor workers are exposed to thermally stressful work environments. In this study, heat stress indices for harbor workers in summer were calculated to evaluate thermal comfort based on a human heat balance model. These indices are Physiological Subjective Temperature (PST), Dehydration Risk (DhR), and Overheating Risk (OhR) according to respective stage of cargo work in a harbor. In addition, we constructed a forecast system to provide heat stress information. Methods: Thermophysiological indices in this study were calculated using the MENEX model (i.e. the human heat balance model), which used as inputs the meteorological parameters, clothing insulation, and metabolic rate for each stage of cargo work in the harbor of Masan over the course of seven days, including a four-day heat wave. The forecast heat stress information constructed for Masan harbor was based on meteorological data supported by the Dong-Nae Forecast from the KMA (Korea Metrological Administration) and other input parameters. Results: According to higher metabolic rate, thermophysiological indices showed a critical level. In particular, PST was evaluated as reaching the 'Very hot' or 'Hot' level during all seven days, despite the heat occurring over only four. It is important in a regard to consider the work environment conditions (i.e. labor intensity and clothing in harbor). On a webpage, the forecast thermophysiological indices show as infographics to be easily understand. This webpage is comprised of indices for both current conditions and the forecast, with brief guidance. Conclusion: Thermophysiological indices show the risk level to health during a heat wave period. Heat stress information could help to protect the health of harbor workers. Further, this study could extend the applicability of these indices to a variety of outdoor workers in consideration of work environments.

  • Construction site fatalities accounted for 51.9% of the total fatalities recorded in 2020. It is known that the safety leadership of site managers is important in reducing occupational accidents at construction sites. According to previous domestic and foreign studies, the safety leadership role of managers has significant effects on the safety behavior and safety culture of workers. Therefore, in this study, we identified the factors affecting organizational trust, which are known to be prerequisites for building a safety culture, and sought ways to enhance organizational trust. In this study, measurement data were collected using a self-report questionnaire. A total of 4,373 copies were distributed to workers and managers of business partners who are highly likely to be exposed to occupational injuries, and 3,873 copies were used as final data for analysis, excluding insincere responses and non-responses. As a result of the study, safety leadership was found to have a positive (+) effect on organizational trust, and communication and motivation moderated the relationship between safety leadership and organizational trust. Therefore, for safety leadership to have a positive effect on organizational trust at construction sites, it is imperative that leadership participation includes communication and motivational efforts.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 통신업무(Telecommuting)의 교통대체에 대한 직·간접영향을 분석하는 것으로 통근통행을 중심으로 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 우선 국내외의 통신업무 실시사례와 특성을 분석하였다. 다음으로 실증분석을 위해 RP (Revealed Preference)와 SP(Stated Preference)조사를 실시하였다. RP조사는 응답자의 정보기술에 대한 인식과 직업특성, 교통이용특성 등을 조사하였고 SP조사는 어떠한 조건이 응답자로 하여금 통신 업무를 수행하도록 유도할 수 있는지에 대하여 조사하였다. 조사결과 고임금과 통신설비에 대한 보조가 통신업무로의 전환을 효과적으로 유도하는 것으로 나타났다. 서울시에 통신업무를 시행하였을 경우 49.1%의 근로자가 통신업무로 전환될 수 있는 것으로 나타났고, 이로 인한 교통대체효과는 연간 74조 4천억원의 직·간접교통 비용을 절감하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과 통신업무는 교통혼잡을 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있는 대안으로 판별되었다.
