본 연구에서는 교차로의 비용 및 특성을 고려한 도로선형최적화 모형을 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithms)을 이용하여 개발하였다. 기존의 도로선형최적화 모형은 교차로 특성을 고려하지 못해서 실제 적용에 심대한 문제점을 내재하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 특정 도로선형에 교차로 건설의 필요가 있을 경우, 민감(Sensitive)하고 지배적인(Dominating) 교차로 비용 항목들 즉, 토공비용, 보상비, 포장비, 사고비용, 지체 및 연료소모비용 등의 산정이 시도되었다. 또한 비교적 우수한 도로선형 대안을 유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 탐색과정 중에서 비효율적으로 강제 퇴화시키는 단점 보완을 위한 교차로 국소 최적화 방법(Local Optimization of Intersections)이 개발되어 기존 모형을 보완하였다. 공간상의 도로선형은 매개변수적 묘사(Parametric Representation)를 통하여 구현하였으며 벡터운영(Vector Manipulation)을 통해 교차로비용 산정의 근간인 교차점과 다른 중요점들의 좌표를 찾을 수 있었다. 개발된 교차로 비용산정 모형이 보다 정밀하게 교차로 비용을 산정함이 증명되었으며 궁극적으로는 기존의 최적화 모형의 단점을 보완할 수 있음이 제시되었다. 또한, 새로이 제시된 교차로 국소 최적화 방법이 최적대안 탐색과정의 유연성을 증대하였으며, 결과적으로 효율적인 교차로의 유지에 기여함을 알 수 있었다. 제시된 교차로 국소 최적화 방법은 추후 단일노선이 아닌 도로망 최적화시의 기초를 제시함은 주목할 만 하다. 두개의 예제에서 도출된 최적노선 및 교차로 비용 등의 검토 결과, 도로상의 교차로 건설비용은 도로선형 최적화에 큰 영향을 미치는 실질적이며 민감한 비용 항목임이 검증되었으며 이는 도로선형최적화 모형이 교차로 비용을 반드시 검토 및 평가할 수 있어야 함을 반증한다.

This study investigated the relationship between Vitamin D levels and indices related to cardiovascular disease in Korean adults aged ${\geq}19years$. The data for analysis were obtained from the sixth Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey in 2013 and 2014. The results showed that the incidence of Vitamin D deficiency was 73.1% among Korean adults and that indices related to cardiovascular disease showed an increasing trend (55.6% of Korean adults). The relationship between Vitamin D levels and indices related to cardiovascular disease with controlled physical activity status was also studied. The odds ratios (ORs) for age were 1.72 for the 4-62 years age group (95% CI, 1.53-1.93) and 2.05 for the ${\geq}65years$ age group (95% CI, 1.71-2.45). For blood pressure, the OR for pre-hypertension was 1.30 (95% CI, 1.15-1.47) and that for hypertension was 1.31 (95% CI, 1.11-1.54). For body mass index (BMI), the OR was 1.36 (95% CI, 1.11-1.66) and that for waist circumference (WC) was 1.36 (95% CI, 1.11-1.66). For fasting blood sugar (FBS), the OR for impaired fasting glucose (IFG) was 1.37 (95% CI, 1.21-1.55) and that for diabetes mellitus (DM) was 1.31 (95% CI, 1.05-1.65). The OR for total cholesterol (TC) was 1.30 (95% CI, 1.11-1.52) and that for triglycerides (TG) was 1.20 (95% CI, 1.04-1.37) in Korean adults. There was a significant relationship between Vitamin D and indices related to cardiovascular disease in Korean adults with respect to age, blood pressure, FBS, BMI, TC and TG. Confirmation of a causal relationship between Vitamin D and indices related to cardiovascular disease may require further research consisting of more systematic cohort studies.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of the average volume of alcohol consumption and binge drinking with arterial stiffness. Methods: The study population consisted of 5944 community-dwelling healthy adults aged 50 years and older. Average volume of alcohol consumption was calculated and frequency of binge drinking defined as the consumption of 7 or more drinks for men and 5 or more for women on a single occasion, was assessed using a structured interview. High brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), a marker of arterial stiffness, was defined as the highest gender-specific quartile of maximal baPWV distribution in the study population. Results: Compared to never drinkers, the multivariate-adjusted odds ratio (OR) of men who consumed 0.1-10.0, 10.1-20.0, 20.1-40.0, and >40.0 g/day was 0.93, 1.18, 1.38, and 2.36, respectively. The OR was 0.90, 0.97, 1.45, and 1.82 in women consuming 0.1-5.0, 5.1-10.0, 10.1-20.0, and >20.0 g/day, respectively. Binge drinking of <1 day/week (OR=1.66, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.13-2.42) and ${\geq}1$ day/week (OR=1.61, 95% CI=1.04-2.50) were associated with increased risk for high baPWV in men, and binge drinking of ${\geq}1$ day/week (OR=3.12, 95% CI=1.16-8.34) was associated with increased risk for high baPWV in women. Conclusions: A J-shaped relationship between the average volume of alcohol consumption and high baPWV was observed, suggesting the detrimental effects of heavy alcohol drinking on arterial stiffness. Binge drinking was also significant risk factors for increased arterial stiffness, independently of the average volume of alcohol consumption.

Maximal Covering 문제(MCP)란 행렬 상에서 n개의 열(column) 중 p개를 선택하여 m개의 행(row)중 최대한 많은 행을 cover하는 문제로 정의된다. 본 논문에서는 MCP를 유전 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)으로 해결하기 위해 문제에 적합하게 설계된 교차 연산자(crossover operator)와 비발현 유전인잔(unexpressed gene)를 가진 새로운 염색체 구조를 제시한다. 해결하고자 하는 대상 MCP의 규모가 매우 큰 경우 전통적인 임의교차(random crossover) 방법으로는 좋은 결과를 얻기가 힘들다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 그리디 교차(greedy crossover) 방법을 제시하여 문제를 해결한다. 그러나 이러한 그리디 교차를 사용하더라도 조기 수렴 등의 문제로 인해 타부 탐색 등의 이웃해 탐색 방법에 비해 그리 좋은 결과를 얻기가 힘들다. 본 논문은 이러한 조기 수렴 문제를 해결하고 다른 이웃에 탐색 방법보다 더 좋은 결과를 얻기 위해 비발현 유전인자(unexpressed gene)를 가진 염색체를 도입하여 해결함을 특징으로 한다. 비발현 유전인자는 교차 과정에서 자식 염색체의 유전인자로 전달되지 않은 정보 중 나중에라도 유용할 가능성이 보이는 정보를 보존하는 역할을 하여 조기 수렴 문제를 해결하는데 도움을 주어 보다 나은 결과를 얻을 수 있게 해준다. 대규모 MCP를 해결하는 실험에서 새로운 비발현 유전인자를 적용한 유전 알고리즘이 기존의 유전 알고리즘뿐만 아니라 다른 탐색 기법에 비해 더욱 좋은 성능을 보여줌을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the level of stress and depressive symptom and to assess the utilization of professional consultation. Data extracted from Community Health Survey (CHS), conducted by Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The subjects were 174,975 (19-65 years). In result, 'Managers', 'Professionals and related workers', 'Clerks', 'Service workers', and 'Sales workers', 'Equipment, machine operating assembling workers', and 'Armed forces' were more in risk of stress. However, theses groups were less in probability of utilization for stress consultation. Based on these findings, mental health screening program for detecting risk group among occupation classification and employment status will be essential. It may be necessary to have sustainable strategies for utilizing mental health service to reduce the level of stress and depressive symptom of workers.

Objectives: This study is to investigate the prevalence and related factors of metabolic syndrome among Korean adults aged 20 years and above. Methods: From the database of the $5^{th}$ Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V) conducted in 2010, data of 5,670 adults who responded to all the questionnaires of health interview and had metabolic syndrome in the health examination were included in this analysis. SAS 9.2 was used for statistical analysis with complex sample survey modules and commands. Results: The prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome based on the criteria proposed by International Diabetes Federation (IDF) was 18.8%. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in each group was: 20.7% of women, 43.1% among elderly over 70 years old, 40.6% of the divorced or the separated, 27.6% of recipients of economic support from the government, 23.6% of people who had alcohol dependency problem, and 43.7% of overweight or obese adults. Independent risk factors based on the multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that prevalence of metabolic syndrome was associated with female (odds ratio 1.59 [95% confidence interval 1.20-2.11]), age (50s 3.95 [2.11-7.37], 60s 5.62 [2.98-10.61], 70s 10.56 [5.25-21.25]), high school education (0.52 [0.37-0.74]), clerk occupation (2.14 [1.27-3.60]), divorced marital status (1.72 [1.15-2.59]), alcohol dependency (1.86 [1.16-2.98]), higher BMI (14.08 [10.60-18.70]). Conclusions: The metabolic syndrome is prevalent among Korean adult population according to IDF criteria. Several demographic characteristics and potentially modifiable factors are associated with metabolic syndrome. Identification of this high-risk group and management of these modifiable factors are warranted to reduce the prevalence of metabolic syndrome.

Objective: The objectives were to estimate the rate of the injury in the elderly over the past year and to identify factors related to injury in the elderly in South Korea. Method: Using data from the 2008 Community Health Survey, 43,049 elderly persons, aged 65 years and older, were selected as study subjects. Their experience of injury during the past year and other variables, including socio-demographic factors, health-related factors, and diagnosed chronic diseases, were used. The chi-squared test and multiple logistic regression analysis with weighted analysis were conducted and statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Result: The rate of injury in the elderly during the past year was 5.1%. The most common types of the injury were falling/slipping down and traffic accidents. Factors related to injury in the elderly were living alone, current drinking, depression, poor self-rated health, stroke, and osteoporosis. Living alone (odds ratio 1.23, 95% CI: 1.05-1.45), current drinkers (OR 1.19, 95% CI: 1.05-1.35), poor self-rated health (OR 1.72, 95% CI: 1.43-2.08), depression (OR 1.23, 95% CI: 1.17-1.68), and history of stroke (OR 1.40, 95% CI: 1.17-1.68), and history of osteoporosis (OR 1.45, 95% CI: 1.26-1.66) were related to an increased risk of injury. Conclusions: Intervention programs that consider the risk factors related to injury should be developed and implemented to decrease and prevent injuries in the elderly.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to find out the suicide ideation of high school students in urban and rural areas, and especially to research the relationship between suicide ideation, and general characteristics, characteristics of school life, and empirical characteristics of suicide. Methods: This research targeted four urban and four rural high schools in two cities. The study subjects were 1,114 students in urban area and 968 students in rural area, total 2,082 students. The survey was conducted from July 1, 2009 to July 31, 2009. For statistical analysis, chi-square test, t-test and ANOVA were used for investigating related factors with suicide ideation in urban and rural areas, respectively, with multiple logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Results: The results showed that 38.8% of respondents had suicide ideation within 1 year. The percentage of female students (44.8%) was significantly higher than that of male students (33.4%). However, there was no significant difference between urban (38.0%) and rural area (39.9%). The significant influencing factors on suicide ideation in multiple logistic regression were gender [female student OR(odds ratio)=1.80 (95% CI 1.31-2.47) compared with male student] and grade [second year OR=1.40 (95% CI 0.98-2.00), third year OR=2.15 (95% CI 1.49-3.12) compared with first year] in urban area. Those in rural area were gender [female student OR(odds ratio)=2.71 (95% CI 1.23-2.38) compared with male student], economic deterioration [yes OR=1.81 (95% CI 1.24-2.64) compared with no], and grade [second year OR=2.80 (95% CI 1.82-4.32), third year OR=3.84 (95% CI 2.52-5.87) compared with first year]. Conclusions: This study showed about 40% of high school students had suicide ideation within 1 year. A suicide prevention program may be implemented considering factors related with suicide ideation identified in this study.

The aim of this study was to identify an effective control method of metabolic syndrome (MS) and oral diseases by investigating relationship between of MS and periodontal disease, tooth loss of the adult men and woman. We analyzed and concluded as follows, using a nationwide representative sample, in 8,225 middle senior citizens based on raw data of the 5th National Nutrition Survey in 2010, 2012. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-squared test, and logistic regression using SAS ver. 9.2 program. The results are as follows, for correlation of metabolic component to periodontal disease, it was found that in men, the periodontal disease odds ratio of the group with abnormal fasting blood glucose increased 1.27 fold (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04~1.54), and in woman, the odds ratios of the group with abnormal high density lipoprotein cholesterol increased 1.45 fold (95% CI, 1.22~1.72) and the odds ratio of the group with abnormal obesity increased 1.44 fold (95% CI, 1.17~1.77). For correlation of MS to periodontal disease, it was found that the odds ratio of periodontal disease in the woman at-risk group increased 1.55 fold (95% CI, 1.19~2.01) and that of the group with MS increased 2.25 fold (95% CI, 1.68~3.02). For correlation of woman's metabolic component to missing teeth, it was found that the odds ratio of group with abnormal blood pressure increased 1.41 fold (95% CI, 1.10~1.82). For correlation of woman's MS to missing teeth, it was found that the odds ratio of missing teeth in the group with MS increased 1.48 fold (95% CI, 1.07~2.04). It is considered that a public health project comprising preventive and systematic disease management is necessary for controlling MS and oral disease. The findings of the study are expected to lay the foundation for the development of oral health promotion programs.

The argument concerning the choice of effect measure for epidemiologic data or clinic data has been renewed. But the relationships among effect measures can be confusing if effect measures are expressed by conventional mathematical functions alone. In this article, risk difference(RD), relative risk(RR), and odds ratios(OR) for binary data are presented by radar diagram instead of mathematical functions and the relationships among them are showed using radar diagram. This radar diagram is offered flexible conceptual tool to understand effect measures, DR, RR, and OR for binary data.
