A disaster can be defined in many ways based on perspectives, in addition, its types are able to classify differently by various standards. Considering the different perspectives, the disaster can be occurred by natural phenomenon that is like typhoon, earthquake, flood, and drought, and by the accident that is like collapse of facilities, traffic accidents, and environmental pollution, etc. Into the modern society, moreover, the disaster includes the damages by diffusion of epidemic and infectious disease in domestic animals. The disaster was defined by natural and man-made hazards in the past. As societies grew with changes of paradigm, social factors have been included in the concept of the disaster according to new types unexpected by new disease and scientific technology. Change the concept of social disasters, Ministry of Public Safety and Security (MPSS) has provided the regional safety index, which measures the safety level of a local government. However, this regional safety index has some limitation to use because this index provides the information for city unit which is a unit of administrative districts of urban. Since these administrative districts units are on a different level with urban and rural areas, the regional safety index provided by MPSS is not be able to direct apply to the rural areas. The purpose of this study is to determine the regional safety index targeting rural areas. To estimate the safety index, we was used for 3 indicators of the MPSS, a fire, a crime, and an infectious disease which are evaluable the regional safety index using an accessibility analysis. For determining the regional safety index using accessibility from community centers to public facilities, the safety index of fire, crime, and infectious disease used access time to fire station, police office, and medical facility, respectively. An integrated Cheongju, targeting areas in this study, is mixed region with urban and rural areas. The results of regional safety index about urban and rural areas, the safety index in rural area is relatively higher than in the urban. Neverthless the investment would be needed to improve the safety in the rural areas.

Objective: Mulberry (Morus alba L.) is a cultivated shrub grown widely in the sub-tropical and tropical areas. It has been shown that mulberry leaf contains high levels of protein while having polyphenols as phytonutrients. Therefore, it is important to conduct an experiment to assess potential toxic level from mulberry on behavior, blood hematological and coagulation parameter using Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Methods: Both male and female SD rats were given an intragastric administration of respective treatments of mulberry leaf intakes (control, low and high levels). Parameters of feed intake, hematological and coagulation of blood parameters, as well as liveweight changes were taken during the 7 d of adaptation, 28 d of treatment exposure, and 14 d of recovery periods, respectively. All treatment data were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance of SPSS17.0 for Windows Statistical Software following the Randomized complete block design with sex as a block. Results: Most of the parameters of the physical symptoms of the SD rats, were not significantly different (p>0.05) when compared with that of the control group. Those which remain unchanged in each dose group were, body weight (BW) gain, feed intake, the hematology and coagulation indexes. Although, there were a few individual indicators that were abnormal, but the overall physiological appearance of the rats were normal. Conclusion: Results under this experiment revealed that most hematological and coagulation parameters of the SD rats in both male and female were normal, although the weight gain of female rats in high-dose group was significantly reduced than those of the male rats. Under this study, the use of mulberry leaf up to 2 g/kg BW did not result in abnormal phenomenon in the SD rats. These findings would offer useful information for further in vivo feeding trials in animals to extensively use of mulberry leaf to improve animal production, particularly in P.R. China.

최근 이상기후로 수공 구조물의 설계빈도를 상회하는 극한호우의 증가 경향이 뚜렷함에 따라 과거에 설계된 농업용 저수지의 안전성 검토가 필요하다. 그러나 한국농어촌공사 관할 일정 규모 이상의 저수지를 제외한 지자체 관리 저수지는 비상시 긴급 방류가 가능 저수지는 전무하다(13,685개소). 이러한 경우 이동식 사이펀을 현장에 빠르게 투입하여 사전 방류하는 방법이 긴요하며, 본 연구에서는 사전 및 긴급방류 기능을 동시에 수행할 수 있는 직경 200 mm, 최소 수위차 6 m, 420(m²/h), 10,000(m²/day)의 이동식 사이펀을 경주시 유금저수지를 대상으로 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 테스트베드인 유금 저수지는 1945년 준공되어 공용기간이 78년 정도 경과한 시설물로 수문학적 안정성 분석 결과 현재 댐마루 구간의 최저높이는 27.15(EL.m)로 검토 홍수위 27.44(EL.m) 보다 0.29 m 낮아 제방을 통한 월류 가능성이 있고 여유고도 1.72 m 부족한 것으로 나타나 수문학 안전성을 확보하지 못하는 것으로 검토되었다. 유금저수지는 수위-유량 계측이 주기적으로 이루어진지 얼마 되지 않아 저수지의 수위-유량 관계 곡선식을 명확하게 확립하기 어려워 수위-용적 곡선을 임의로 도출하였으며 도출된 곡선을 기반으로 중소규모 노후저수지 운영 알고리즘을 통해 사전방류시간, 여수로 방류량을 고려하고 빈도별 홍수량에 따른 저수지 월류시간을 예측함으로써 사전에 대피 시간을 확보하고 붕괴위험을 저감할 수 있는 기술을 확보하였다. 직경 200 mm 이동식사이펀 1열 기준, 30년 빈도 홍수량 유입 시 상한수위 기준 80% 수준(약 30,000 m²)을 유지하면서 주민대피 시간(약 1시간)을 확보할 수 있는 최적 사전방류시간은 12시간 이전으로 분석되었다. 중소규모 노후저수지를 대상으로 사이펀 활용 사전방류기술 및 저수지 운영 알고리즘에 따라 이상기후 대비 사전에 방류를 시행하고 관리자의 의사결정을 돕는다면, 저수지 붕괴 위험지역 내의 주민들의 안전을 확보하고 주민대피 지원체계 구축을 통해 주민들의 불안감 해소, 저수지 위험상황 시 위험회피 수단 제공으로 위험요소 감소가 충분히 가능하다.

Oral, cervical and breast cancers, which are either preventable and/or amenable to early detection and treatment, are the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in India. In this paper, we describe implementation science research priorities to catalyze the prevention and control of these cancers in India. Research priorities were organized using a framework based on the implementation science literature and the World Health Organization's definition of health systems. They addressed both community-level as well as health systems-level issues. Community-level or "pull" priorities included the need to identify effective strategies to raise public awareness and understanding of cancer prevention, monitor knowledge levels, and address fear and stigma. Health systems-level or "push" and "infrastructure" priorities included dissemination of evidence-based practices, testing of point-of-care technologies for screening and diagnosis, identification of appropriate service delivery and financing models, and assessment of strategies to enhance the health workforce. Given the extent of available evidence, it is critical that cancer prevention and treatment efforts in India are accelerated. Implementation science research can generate critical insights and evidence to inform this acceleration.

본 연구에서는 유머를 경험하는 동안 나타나는 아동의 안면근육반응을 확인하고 유머 정서에 의해 유발된 안면근육반응과 우울 수준과의 관계를 연구하였다. 실험에 앞서 또한 아동의 우울 수준을 측정하기 위하여 12~13세의 아동 43명(남 22명)에게 한국판 PIC 검사의 우울 척도를 평가하도록 하였다. 실험이 시작되면, 자극이 제시되기 전 60초 동안 안정 상태를 측정한 후, 유머를 유발하는 시청각 동영상 자극을 제시하는 동안 안면근육반응(양측 추미근, 구륜근)을 측정하였다. 자극 제시가 끝나면 자신이 경험한 정서를 정서평가척도 상에 평가하도록 하였다. 아동의 95.3%(41명)이 유머를 경험하였다고 보고하였고 그 강도는 3.81(5점 만점)로 나타났다. 안면근육반응은 안정 상태에 비하여 유머 자극이 제시되었을 때 유의하게 증가하였다. 안면근육반응과 우울 수준과의 상관을 확인한 결과, 우측 추미근에서 유의한 부적 상관이 나타났다. 이는 우울 점수가 높은 아동일수록 유머를 경험할 때 안면근육을 적게 움직임을 의미한다.

To use nuclear energy sustainably, spent nuclear fuel, classified as high-level radioactive waste and inevitably discharged after electricity generation by nuclear power plants, must be managed safely and isolated from the human environment. In Korea, the land area is limited and the amount of high-level radioactive waste, including spent nuclear fuels to be disposed, is relatively large. Thus, it is particularly necessary to maximize disposal efficiency. In this study, a high-efficiency deep geological repository concept was developed to enhance disposal efficiency. To this end, design strategies and requirements for a high-efficiency deep geological repository system were established, and engineered barrier modules with a disposal canister for pressurized water reactor (PWR)-type and pressurized heavy water reactor type Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) plants were developed. Thermal and structural stability assessments were conducted for the repository system; it was confirmed that the system was suitable for the established strategies and requirements. In addition, the results of the nuclear safety assessment showed that the radiological safety of the new system met the Korean safety standards for disposal of high-level radioactive waste in terms of radiological dose. To evaluate disposal efficiency in terms of the disposal area, the layout of the developed disposal areas was assessed in terms of thermal limits. The estimated disposal areas were 2.51 km² and 1.82 km² (existing repository system: 4.57 km²) and the excavated host rock volumes were 2.7 Mm³ and 2.0 Mm³ (existing repository system: 4.5 Mm³) for thermal limits of 100 ℃ and 130 ℃, respectively. These results indicated that the area and the excavated volume of the new repository system were reduced by 40-60% compared to the existing repository system. In addition, methods to further improve the efficiency were derived for the disposal area for deep geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel. The results of this study are expected to be useful in establishing a national high-level radioactive waste management policy, and for the design of a commercial deep geological repository system for spent nuclear fuels.

유해 위험 요인이 있는 시설물의 안전에 대한 의식을 고취시키기 위해서는 현장 종사자뿐만 아니라 관리자와 경영자도 해당 시설물에 대한 모니터링이 가능해야 한다. 그러나 우리나라에 있는 대부분의 CNG충전소는 로컬 형식의 모니터링 시스템이 사용되고 있으며 이러한 점을 고려하여 웹상에서 운용할 수 있는 충전소 관리 시스템을 개발 하였다. 개발된 시스템은 U-GSMS(Ubiquitous Gas Safety Management System)라고 명명 하였다. U-GSMS는 크게 프로그램 부분과 하드웨어 부분으로 나눌 수 있다. 프로그램 부분은 안전과 운영을 관리 할 수 있는 시스템으로 구성하였으며 하드웨어 부분은 가스시설물에 적용할 수 있는 센서, 센서간의 통신 그리고 센서와 기기 간의 통신을 위하여 USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)기술을 적용하여 무선 통신 시스템을 구축하였다. 이 논문에서는 주로 U-GSMS 중 프로그램에 관하여 기술하였다.

Recently, pollution by development in coastal areas is going from bad to worse. The Korean government is attempting to make policies that prevent water pollution, but it is still difficult to say whether such measures are lowering pollution to an acceptable level. More specifically, the general investigation that has been done in KOREA does not accurately reflect the actual conditions of pollution in coastal areas. An investigation that quantitatively assesses water quality management using rational prediction technology must be attempted, and the ecosystem model, which incorporates both the 3-dimensional hydrodynamic and material cycle models, is the only one with a broad enough scope to obtain accurate results. The hydrodynamic model, which includes advection and diffusion, accounts for the ever-changing flow and (quality) of water in coastal areas, while the material cycle model accounts for pollutants and components of decomposition as sources of the carbon, phosphorus, and nitrogen cycles. In this paper, we simulated the rates of dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen(T-N) and total-phosphorous(T-P) in Korea's Ulsan Area. Using the ecosystem model, we did simulations using a specific set of parameters and did comparative analysis to determine those most appropriate for the actual environmental characteristics of Ulsan Area. The simulation was successful, making it now possible to predict the likelihood of coastal construction projects causing ecological damage, such as eutrophication and red tide. Our model can also be used in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of future development projects in the ocean.

This study was carried out to verify the suitability of GRS(Glass-fiber Reinforced Slag) as natural type landscape stone according to the material property and structural safety performance standards. The structural safety performance of the GRS panel showed 12.4MPa and 16.2MPa each in flexural strength at 2 and 3% content of glass fiber while the flexural strength at 4 and 5% of glass fiber content showed 26.9MPa, and 30.2MPa, respectively, all satisfying the standards. In addition, air-dried gravity was found to be 1.82~1.89 in measuring range at 2~5% level of glass fiber content, satisfy the existing standards 1.8~2.3. In structural safety performance, the range of flexural strength consequent on glass fiber content was surveyed to be 12.8~30.2MPa, all satisfying the performance standards, while 10MPa and more while the compressive strength range was found to be 41.5~53.3MPa, all satisfying the performance standards, 40~60MPa. This study judged the suitability of only the items for a property of matter of landscape stone GRS by applying the natural-form landscape stone GFRC material standard, but in case an installation constructed with GRS material comes into existence later, there should be comprehensive performance guidelines through the research on durability, landscape performance and environmental and ecological performance.
