PURPOSES : Recently, interest in radioactive accidents has increased due to domestic and international nuclear power plant accidents. In particular, local residents' concerns are increasing due to safety issues such as radioactive leaks at the Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant in South Korea. As Gwangju Metropolitan City is not included in the emergency planning area set by the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission, there are significant limitations to establishing disaster prevention measures for nuclear power plant accidents. Considering the Fukushima and Hanbit nuclear power plant accidents, the improvement of Gwangju Metropolitan City's radioactive leak accident response manual is urgently required. This study aimed to establish disaster prevention measures to respond to nuclear power plant accidents in Gwangju Metropolitan City in the event of a Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant accident and to improve resident protection measures by estimating the arrival time of radioactive materials and radiation dosage through a nuclear power plant accident simulation. Additionally, we aimed to supplement the on-site action manual for radioactive leaks at the Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant. METHODS : This study focused on establishing disaster prevention measures centered on Gwangju Metropolitan City in the event of a major accident such as a radioactive leak at the Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant. Simulations were conducted assuming a major accident such as a radioactive leak, measures to improve resident protection were established by calculating the arrival time of radioactive materials and radiation dosage in the Gwangju area in the event of a nuclear power plant accident, and on-site response action manuals were supplemented in response to a radioactive leak. RESULTS : This study considered the concerns of local residents due to the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident and the Hanbit nuclear power plant failure, conducted a simulation to derive the impact on Gwangju Metropolitan City, and examined the effectiveness of an on-site response manual for radioactive leaks to derive improvement measures. CONCLUSIONS : In the event of an accident at the Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant in Gwangju Metropolitan City, insufficient portions of the on-site response action manual should be supplemented, and close cooperation with local governments within the emergency planning area should be ensured to respond to radioactive disasters. Therefore, based on the revised on-site response action manual for radioactive leaks, close cooperation and a clear division of roles among local governments will enable effective resident protection measures to be implemented in the event of a radioactive disaster.
The forklift carry cargo and move to various places. When a forklift moves to various places, a forklift accident occurs due to a number of factors,such as speed, safe distance. Forklift accidents occur at the logistic site and there are many studies on the causes of accident such as jamming, falling, collisions, etc. However, safety operation for accident prevention is necessary before operating a forklift. Pre-accident safety precautions may prevent accidents. In this study, precautionary factors for safe operation were analyzed to prevent forklift safety accidents through the AHP technique. As a result of the study showed that safety management was the priority in the terminal group and the logistics warehouse group.
In recent years, the number of cases caused by people such as forest fires has been increasing, so it is very important for the whole nation to prevent and practice forest fires. In addition, due to climate change around the world, many lives and disaster losses are increasing due to forest fire-related disasters, and in the last 10 years (2014-2023), there have been 5,668 forest fires and 40,037 hectares of damage, which is equivalent to 56,000 football fields, resulting in 19 casualties and 285.4 billion won in damages. Now, in order to improve the understanding and awareness of forest fires among all the people, the government should actively inform the people about how to act in the event of a forest fire by making the people's action tips related to forest fires easy to understand and practical through public relations activities. In addition, the public and the government should work together to prevent and prepare for forest fires before they occur.
In this study, the performance evaluation of steel dampers was conducted based on existing research results. The test variables are cross-sectional shape and lateral deformation prevention details. As a result of performance tests according to cross-sectional shape, the circular cross-section was evaluated to be superior than the rectangular cross-section in terms of envelope, stiffness reduction, and energy dissipation capacity. In addition, it was evaluated that the rectangular cross-section where lateral deformation occurs can be restrained by lateral deformation prevention details, thereby improving strength and deformation capacity.
Military tanks and armored vehicles use tracks with excellent mobility in rough terrain, the transmission, a key component of tracked vehicle driving performance, performs shifting, steering and braking functions of tracked vehicles. There was concern about the deterioration of the driving performance of the tracked vehicle due to the occurrence of oil leakage in the output part of the transmission that rotates the track of the vehicle. Throughㅇ failure mechanism analysis and characteristic factor analysis using 4M(Man, Machine, Material, Method) quality management, it was confirmed that the factor affecting oil leakage in the output part was damage to the output shaft coupling surface, which is the contact surface of the output part oil seal. Based on this, a quality improvement plan was derived by applying a protective cap to prevent damage to the coupling surface, increasing the coupling surface hardness to improve the oil seal sealing function, and revising the work standard throughout production, process movement and assembly stages. The effectiveness of the proposed improvement was verified through a single transmission test, a power pack test, and a track vehicle installation test, and the effectiveness was verified through follow-up observation. It is expected that the improvements derived from this study will be utilized in the future analysis of similar equipment quality problems.

본 연구는 코로나19 대유행을 경험한 대학생의 호흡기감염 예방 이행 수준과 영향요인을 파악하 고자 시행하였다. 2023년 12월 15일부터 2024년 1월 5일까지 대학생 200명을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사 를 시행하였으며, 이 중 성실히 응답한 199명의 자료를 SPSS 18.0 program을 이용하여 기술통계량, t-test, ANOVA, multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 호흡기감염 예방 이행 수준은 48점 만점 중 평균 32.95±6.05점이었다. 호흡기감염 예방 이행 수준에 차이를 보인 일반적 특성과 호흡기감염 관련 특성은 학과(t=-2.59, p=.010), 호흡기감염 예방 교육(t=1.99, p=.048), 금년 독감예방접종(t=-2.10, p=.037), 금년 코로나19 예방접종(t=3.56, p<.001), 외출 시 사람이 모여 있는 곳에서 마스크 착용(t=4.96, p<.001)이었다. 호흡기감염 예방 이행에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 학과(β=0.31, p<.001), 금년 독감예방접 종(β=-0.15, p=.046), 외출 시 사람이 모여 있는 곳에서 마스크 착용(β=-0.31, p<.001)이 다중회귀분석 에서 유의한 변수로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 코로나19 유행이 종식된 이후에도 호흡기감염이 지속적으로 발생하므로 호흡기감염 예방행위 이행 증진을 위한 노력이 필요하며, 대학생을 대상으로 한 호흡기감염 예 방 프로그램 개발 시 본 연구에서 확인된 요인들을 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
불법·비보고·비규제 어업은 국제사회에서 인식하고 있는 가장 큰 불법 행위 중 하나이다. 전 세계적으로 어획되는 수산자원 5마리 중 1마리는 불법·비보고· 비규제 어업으로 어획된다고 추정되고 있다. 바다에서 무차별적으로 행해지는 불법·비보고·비규제 어업으로 인해 국제사회가 추구하는 지속가능한 수산업을 영위하기는 점점 더 어려워지고 있고, 이에 대해 심각한 문제의식을 느낀 국제사회는 1990년대부터 국제적으로 통용할 국제규범들을 만들기 시작하였다. 우 리나라는 해양 국제법의 헌법으로 여겨지는 유엔해양법협약부터 유엔공해어업 협정, 항만국조치협정 등의 협약을 이행하며 불법·비보고·비규제 어업으로부터 바다를 지키기 위해 노력하는 당사국이자, 지역수산기구 18개에 가입된 명실상 부한 수산 선진국이다. 그러나 2023년 발표된 불법·비보고·비규제 어업지수에서 우리나라는 9위를 기록하며 불법·비보고·비규제 어업으로부터 벗어나지 못한다 는 평가가 지배적이다. 만약 우리나라가 불법·비보고·비규제 어업국으로 재지 정되어 국제사회에서 각종 제재를 받는다면 국제사회에서의 수산 강국으로서 의 위신은 추락할 것이고, 우리나라 국가 경쟁력 또한 하락하여 대내외적으로 수산업에 큰 타격이 있을 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 국제사회가 요구하는 불법·비보고·비규제 어업의 규제 중점사항은 무엇이고, 우리나라가 시행하고 있는 규제 방안과 비교하여 문제점 과 개선할 점이 있는지 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 이러한 필요성을 바탕으로 국제사 회에서 추구하는 지속가능한 수산업을 이행하기 위해 시행하는 다양한 법적, 제도적 장치를 우리나라가 해양·수산 강국이라는 명성에 맞게 대응할 수 있도 록 법제도 개선 방안을 제시하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다.
When a fire breaks out in a distribution center, it causes a lot of damage. And the most casualties are caused by Fire accidents. Therefore, training for fire prevention should be mandatory at the distribution center. Also, the contents of education should be different in room temperature warehouses and low temperature warehouses. Fire education in low-temperature warehouses should be more emphasized. This is because many fires occur in low-temperature warehouses. In this study, a study was conducted to determine the important order of training hours and contents for fire prevention education according to the type of distribution center. The importance of time and content for safety education in all types of warehouses did not differ significantly. It was first decided that safety prevention training should be conducted periodically in all types of warehouses
Abstract Purpose : The aim of this study was to identify knowledge and lifestyle habits for glaucoma prevention and to present basic data for future glaucoma prevention education. Methods : From April to September 2023, 447 people in their 20s to 60s were selected and an online survey was conducted. The questionnaire consisted of a total of 30 questions, including 6 questions about the subject's general characteristics, 14 questions about knowledge and awareness of glaucoma, and 10 questions about lifestyle habits related to intraocular pressure. Results : 89.7% responded that they had heard of glaucoma, and 31.1% of respondents knew the difference between glaucoma and cataracts. 34.5% responded that early detection is difficult, 33.3% that complete treatment is difficult, 23.5% that even normal intraocular pressure can cause glaucoma, and 36.0% that the incidence of glaucoma is increasing day by day. The level of awareness and knowledge was higher with age, in women than men, in those with a family history, in professional occupations, with metabolic diseases, and with high myopia. Lifestyle habits related to intraocular pressure were higher with age, among women, when smartphone use was less than 3 hours, and among housewives and professionals. The relationship between glaucoma knowledge and awareness and intraocular pressure-related lifestyle habits was statistically significant (r=0.248, p<0.001). Conclusion : Although the level of basic knowledge about glaucoma was high, the level of specific knowledge was low compared to the increase in the incidence of glaucoma over the past 10 years. Key words : Glaucoma, Healthy Life Practices, Intraocular pressure
The optimization of a prevention program utilizing a novel trivalent inactivated Salmonella bacterial vaccine to protect poultry from Salmonella infections was evaluated in this study. A total of 50 brown nick layers were divided into 5 groups, A to E, each containing 10 hens. Group B hens were immunized with the SG9R vaccine, group C chickens were immunized with the trivalent inactivated Salmonella bacterial vaccine, and group D hens were primed with SG9R and boosted with the trivalent inactivated Salmonella bacterial vaccine. Group E hens were injected with sterile PBS. All hens in groups B to E were orally challenged with a mixture of wild-type S. Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium, and S. Gallinarum (approximately 6×10⁹ CFU/ 0.2 ml/bird). Serum IgG titers, CD3+CD4+ T-cell levels, and CD3+CD8+ T-cell levels in group D were significantly higher than those in group A. Additionally, all animals in groups A to D showed no clinical symptoms and survived after the virulent challenges, whereas all chickens in group E died following the challenge. The challenge strains of S. Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium, and S. Gallinarum were not isolated from the liver, spleen, cecum, and cloaca of group D chickens. These findings indicate that priming with SG9R and boosting with a trivalent inactivated Salmonella bacterial vaccine can be an effective approach for preventing Salmonella infections by inducing robust protective humoral and cellular immune responses in chickens.

Construction industry is considered as one of the most high-risk industries for work-related injuries and fatalities, accounting for more than half of fatalities in Korea. Advanced countries have recognized the critical role of designers in preventing construction accidents and have established regulations on design for safety. In line with this, the Korean government have also implemented regulations that require owners and designers to review the safety of design outcomes. However, it has been observed that designers face challenges in identifying hazards and integrating design solutions at the design stage mainly due to their shortage of required knowledge and skills. This study aimed to examine design solutions that can be applied to prevent fall accidents in the construction industry, and to establish a relationship between these solutions and fatal fall accidents occurred over the past three years in Korea. This study also analyzed the relationships of four variables (construction type, cost, work type, and fall location) with design solutions. The results indicated that all four variables have significant relationships with design solutions, with fall location showing the strongest relationship. The design solutions and their relationships with fatal fall accidents identified in this study can be utilized in identifying hazard and integrating design solutions to ensure design for safety.
The delivery truck is traveled around the delivery area for a long time. Truck drivers cause traffic accidents because of long hours of driving, fatigue, and speeding, etc. In this study, we will test the factors for preventing accidents of drivers. We would like to find factors that affect accidents and improve that can prevent accidents. As in the results of the study, accidents occur when traffic increases and profits increase among driver age, career, and profit factors. In addition, if the volume of traffic increases during the season, the number of accidents increases further. Therefore, in order to prevent truck accidents, a stable cargo quantity must be allocated to truck and cargo must be delivered.
