Climate change has made outbreaks of insect-transmitted plant viruses increasingly unpredictable. Understanding spatio-temporal dynamics of insect vector migration can help forecast virus outbreaks, but the relationship is often poorly characterized. The incidence of Beet curly top virus (BCTV) was examined in 2,196 tomato fields in California from 2013-2022. In addition, we experimentally showed dispersal of the beet leafhopper, the only known vector of BCTV is negatively correlated with plant greenness, and we estimated spring migration timing using a vegetation greenness-based model. Potential environmental factors and spring migration time of beet leafhoppers were associated with BCTV incidence. We found BCTV incidence is strongly associated with spring migration timing rather than environmental factors themselves. In addition, the vegetation greenness-based model was able to accurately predict the severe BCTV outbreaks in 2013 and 2021 in California. The predictive model for spring migration time was implemented into a web-based mapping system, serving as a decision support tool for management purposes.

The Sun-Earth Lagrange point L4, which is called a parking space of space, is considered one of the unique places where solar activity and the heliospheric environment can be observed continuously and comprehensively. The L4 mission affords a clear and wide-angle view of the Sun-Earth line for the study of Sun-Earth connections from remote-sensing observations. The L4 mission will significantly contribute to advancing heliophysics science, improving space weather forecasting capability, extending space weather studies far beyond near-Earth space, and reducing risk from solar radiation hazards on human missions to the Moon and Mars. Our paper outlines the importance of L4 observations by using remote-sensing instruments and advocates comprehensive and coordinated observations of the heliosphere at multi-points including other planned L1 and L5 missions. We mainly discuss scientific perspectives on three topics in view of remote sensing observations: (1) solar magnetic field structure and evolution, (2) source regions of geoeffective solar energetic particles (SEPs), and (3) stereoscopic views of solar corona and coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

4차 산업혁명의 도래로 인한 기술혁신은 자율운항선박을 중심으로 해상 운송분야까지 활발한 발전을 불러왔다. 특히, 현재의 선원이 직접 운항하는 방식인 유인선박 사이에서 운항하게 될 자율운항선박은 자율도에 따라 원격제어를 통해 운항을 수행하며, 육상에 서 이를 제어할 원격운항자에 대한 관심 또한 늘어나고 있다. 하지만 아직 원격운항자가 개입이 필요한 상황이 동시에 발생하는 등을 고 려한 원격운항자 최소 인력 요구사항에 대한 연구는 부족한 상황이다. 본 연구는 특정 해역 구간의 누적된 항적데이터를 활용하여 선박 간에 발생할 수 있는 조우상황에서 원격운항자의 개입이 필요한 상황을 정의하고, 해당 구간을 특정 규모의 자율운항선박 선대로 운항하 였을 때, 원격운항자의 개입이 동시에 필요한 상황이 얼마나 발생하는지를 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다. 연구의 결과는 향후 실제 자율 운항선박 선대를 운행할 원격운항센터의 원격운항자의 적정인력 배치 등의 계획 또는 정책 수립에 활용될 기초 자료로 활용될 것으로 기 대한다.

Since 1996, spent filters from the Kori unit 1 have been stored in enclosed areas such as the auxiliary building filter room. To dispose of these spent filters at a disposal facility, it is necessary to retrieve and package them according to the disposal criteria. The Kori unit 1 filter room is a 2.5- meter deep hole with 227 spent filters stored indiscriminately by type and radiation level. Furthermore, the exposure dose rate measurements revealed exceed 10 mSv/h, making it a challenging environment for workers. Therefore, in this study, we have developed a ‘Remote Processing System for Spent Filter Handling’ to minimize worker exposure and ensure safety throughout the entire process, from filter retrieval to radiation measurement, sample collection, compression, and packaging. We have completed performance testing through laboratory validation. The ‘Remote Processing System for Spent Filter Handling’ consists of four main components: a robot system for retrieving spent filters from the filter room, a transfer mechanism for moving spent filters to the lower area, a core ring device for sample collection, and finally, a compression/ packaging unit. The laboratory validation performance testing was conducted by installing these devices in a structure simulating the Gori-1 reactor filter room. The results confirmed that all processes, from spent filter retrieval to packaging, can be remotely operated without the need for filter drops or worker intervention. Through the laboratory validation, some areas for improvement were identified. These improvements should be taken into consideration when producing the system for future on-site applications.

자율운항선박 기술은 점차 발전하고 있다. 하지만 완전 자율운항선박이 등장하기 전까지는 원격운영센터에서 원격운영자가 제 어하는 형태를 가지게 될 것이다. 그러나 현재 그들의 면허체계는 국내외적으로 정해지지 않았다. 역량이 검증되지 않은 원격운영자의 등 장은 항행 안전에 위험이 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 문헌 연구를 통해 원격운영자의 면허체계를 위해 고려해야 할 평가기준과 국내 해기 사 면허체계 내에서 수립할 수 있는 방안을 모색하고 AHP를 활용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 원격운영자의 면허체계를 위해서는 우선적으 로 법률제정이 필요하고 선박직원법 제4조 해기사 면허의 직종에 원격운영자의 직종을 추가하는 방안이 가장 선호되었다. 이에 따라 원 격운영센터의 조직구성도 기존 선박의 선교인적관리 조직과 유사하게 형성할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 자율운항선박의 인적 관리 측면 에서 원격운영자의 효율적인 양성과 항행 안전에 이바지할 수 있을 것이다.

Fish school monitoring technology is utilized for various purposes, such as boat fishing and resource surveys. With advancements in information and communication technology, this technology has expanded its application to remote areas. Its significance has grown in fishing sites, particularly for improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of set-net fishing. Set-net fishing gears are not limited to coastal areas, but are also installed in inland and remote sea regions. Consequently, fishermen require technology that allows them to quickly transmit information about approaching fish schools and enables them to perform long-term monitoring. The development of remote monitoring technology for set-net fish schools must consider crucial design factors such as communication range, transmission speed, power consumption of information modules, and operational expenses. In this study, we developed a low-power remote monitoring module for set-net fish school based on WCDMA. The module was specifically designed to minimize power consumption, allowing for communication over long distances and extended operation times in set-net fishing applications. Furthermore, we developed a web server software application that enables remote access to fish schools and provides real-time weather information. The performance of the developed module was evaluated through set-net fishing site application and experiments with moving ships on the sea. The experimental results demonstrated that the remote monitoring system, consisting of the developed low-power remote monitoring module for set-net fish school based on WCDMA and a fish finder, had an average power consumption of 4.6 W, a maximum communication range of 22.84 km, and a data transmission and reception rate of 98.79%. The maximum fish school information transmission and reception rate was 97.26%.

본 연구는 조직이 원격근무를 도입하고자 할 때 실질적으로 고려해야 할 사항들을 분석해 제안하려는 목적으로 실행되었다. COVID-19로 인해 확산된 원격근무는 생산성의 보전 및 일-가정 양립 등의 효용을 가져와 포스트 팬데믹 시대에서도 뉴노멀로 활용될 수 있다는 가능성이 타진되었다. 그러나 원격근무는 전염병으로 인한 위기 상황에서 주입적으로 실행되었을 뿐 그에 맞는 운영 방침이 정해지지 않아 기업들 의 효율적인 도입이 어려웠다. 기존부터 원격근무에 관련된 연구는 진행되고 있었다. 그러나 선행연구들 은 원격근무의 이론적인 방향성을 언급하거나 긍정적인 효과에 대한 기대점을 시사하는 내용이 주를 이루었고 원격근무를 도입하거나 개선하고자 하는 기업을 위해 정량적 기법을 활용하거나 구체적인 제도 수립을 위한 요인 제시에 있어서는 미흡한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구는 원격근무 도입 시 고려해야 할 핵심 요인을 도출하여 기업들의 원격근무 도입에 실용적이고 통합적인 관점을 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경영학계 교수 및 인사관리 전문가들로 구성된 패널을 대상으로 델파이 조사를 실시하였다. 델파이 연구 는 정립되지 않은 분야에서 방향성을 도출하기에 적합한 사회 연구 방법론이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 델 파이에 관련된 선행연구를 따라 가장 적합한 방식으로 총 3차에 걸친 델파이 조사를 진행하였으며, 조사 결과 최종적으로 조직문화, 업무환경, 인적자원, 성과관리의 네 가지 영역에 걸친 16가지의 핵심 요인이 도출되었다. 본 연구는 원격근무와 관련된 명확한 가이드라인이 없는 상황에서 원격근무 도입 시 인사 관리자들이 실질적으로 고려할 수 있는 요인들을 체계화했다는 점에서 의의를 지닌다.

Forest destruction is an inevitable result of the development processes. According to the environmental impact assessment, over 10% of the destroyed trees need to be recycled and transplanted to minimize the impact of forest destruction. However, the rate of successful transplantation is low, leading to a high rate of tree death. This is attributable to a lack of consideration for environmental factors when choosing a temporary site for transplantation and inadequate management. To monitor transplanted trees, a field survey is essential; however, the spatio-temporal aspect is limited. This study evaluated the applicability of remote sensing for the effective monitoring of transplanted trees. Vegetation indices based on satellite remote sensing were derived to detect time-series changes in the status of the transplanted trees at three temporary transplantation sites. The mortality rate and vitality of transplanted trees before and after the transplant have a similar tendency to the changes in the vegetation indicators. The findings of this study showed that vegetation indices increased after transplantation of trees and decreased as the death rate increased and vitality decreased over time. This study presents a method for assessing newly transplanted trees using satellite images. The approach of utilizing satellite photos and the vegetation index is expected to detect changes in trees that have been transplanted across the country and help to manage tree transplantation for the environmental impact assessment.
