Studies were carried out to investigate effects of temperature and photoperiod on diapause induction and of juvenile hormone III and 20-hydroxyecdysone treatment on diapausing adults of the alder leaf beetle, Agelastica coerulea Baly(Chrγsomelidae: Coleoptera). Its life cycle and ovarian development in adults were also observed. The beetle had one year life cycle with egg, larval, pupal and adult periods being 7-10, 19-21, 14-15 days and about 10 months, r respectively. All adults showed a diapause syndrome when the larvae were reared at $20^{\circ}C$ or $25^{\circ}C$ in combination of photoperiods of 16L/8D, 12L/12D, or 8L/16D. Their ovarioles did not s show any development of vitellogenesis before or during diapause and even when exposed at $15^{\circ}C$ after overwintering. When diapausing adults were treated with JH III they resumed feeding and laid several eggs and broke diapause condition temporally. But diapausing adults treated with 20-hydroxyecdysone did not show any response.

We are investigated about the state of the working circumstances and infection blocking facility within Metropolitan, Chungcheong and Gyeongsang regions in Korea. The result is as follows. The HAV vaccination rate is 35% and the HBV vaccination rate is 50% among the funeral directors. We expected that the infection risk of funeral directors was very high. Significantly, tuberculosis prevalence rate of funeral director was four times as high as the public. The wear rate of gown, mask, gloves showed relatively high than the others. The wear rate of individual protective equipments has decreased with work experience. The funeral directors have shown that there is difficult to get safe protection from infection. The personal hygiene of funeral directors and the infection blocking equipment should be strengthened institutionally. We are thought to recommend institutional support about infection management, individual protective equipment, vaccination of funeral director and guideline to avoid reversion to previous habitual behavior.

This study investigates the perception of radiation safety management in radiation generator manufacturing workers and medical institutions. The basic data obtained is further applied to improve active coping ability and safety levels. The knowledge and attitude practice score of radiation was found to be related to gender, age, marital status, occupation, position, current work period, total work period, radiation related work period, the manual available, defense facility maintenance, number of defense equipment, radiation safety education, special health examination, and recognition of radiation terms. In particular, the knowledge score of radiologists was highest among the radiation-related occupations (<0.05). Radiation safety management requires active defense endeavors to prevent radiation exposure, by both workers of radiation manufacturers and medical institutions. Moreover, institutional devices such as compliance with guidelines, periodic education, facility reinforcement, manual preparation, and special health checkups are required for efficient radiation safety management.

목적: 2017년 지하수를 식수로 사용하고 있는 한 장기요양 정신병원(H병원)에서 A형간염 환자가 집단 발병하여 이에 대한 역학조사를 실시하고 조치 결과를 기술하고자 하였다. 방법: 노출기간 동안 H병원의 근로자 및 재원 환자 234명을 대상으로 사례군 조사 디자인으로 역학조사를 실시하였고, IgM, IgG 혈청검사 및 A형간염 바이러스(HAV)에 대한 PCR검사를 시행하였다. 또한 오염원으로 의심되는 지하수, 병원에서 제공되는 식품 및 인근 저수지의 물에서 HAV 검사를 실시하였고, 검출된 HAV는 유전형 검사를 진행하였다. 결과: H병원 환자 및 직원 234명 중 IgG 양성인 168명을 제외한 66명 중 19명이 최종적으로HAV 감염자로 확인되어 감수성자 중 발병률은 28.8%로 나타났다. 환자, 지하수, 식품(석박지) 및 저수지에서 동일 유전형의 HAV가 검출되어 지하수 오염에 의한 집단발병으로 결론 내렸으나, 최초 오염원은 확인하지 못하였다. 유행 종결 선언 이후 지하수에 대한 관리로 염소소독과 UV 조사를 하였음에도 불구하고 6개월 동안 지속적으로 HAV가 검출되어 새로운 관정을 개발하여 상황을 종결하였다. 결론: 본 연구에서 지하수를 식수로 사용하는 장기요양 정신병원에서 지하수 오염에 의한 19명의 HAV 집단발병을 조사하였다. HAV 항체가 없는 대상자 중에서 HAV의 높은 발병률을 확인하였다. 지하수 수질검사에서 바이러스 검사는 포함되어 있지 않기 때문에 지하수가 HAV에 오염시 HAV 집단발병 가능성이 높고 상당기간 지속적으로 검출되기 때문에 지하수에 대한 관리지침에 바이러스 검출을 위한 방안을 추가하고 관련 법을 정비할 필요가 있다.

This study aimed to assess the level of intention to tampon use among female university students and to identify factors influencing intention to tampon use. The participants were 140 female university students. Data collection was performed through an online survey using chi-squared test, spearman's correlation coefficients, and multivariable logistic regression analysis from March 13 to March 30, 2024. In this study, it was found that 63.6% of female university students had an intention to use tampon and factors influencing intention to tampon use were marital status, length of menstruation, and prior experience with tampon use. Specifically, participants who were 'unmarried', 'had menstruation lasting 5 days or shorter', and 'had previous experience with tampon use' demonstrated a higher intention to use tampons. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously monitor the changing patterns of women's menstrual product usage and intention, identify influencing factors, and establish educational and promotional strategies to provide information on the characteristics and usage of menstrual products, enabling women to choose the best products suited to their menstrual needs.

Purpose: To determine the effect of changing practice guidelines designed to avoid hyperoxia or hypoxia in very low birth weight or very preterm infants. Methods: We analyzed a database of <1,500 g birth weight or <32 weeks of gestation infants who were born and admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Chungnam National University Hospital from January 2007 to July 2010. First, we defined the relationship between arterial partial pressure of oxygen ($PaO_2$) and pulse oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$). When we evaluated 96 pairs of $PaO_2$ and $SpO_2$ measurements, oxygen saturation was 90-94% at a $PaO_2$ of 43-79 mmHg on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, according to pulse oximetry. Based on this observation, a change in practice was instituted in August 2008 with the objective of avoiding hypoxia and hyperoxia in preterm infants with targeting a $SpO_2$ 90-94% (period II). Before the change in practice, high alarms for $SpO_2$ were set at 100% and low alarms at 95% (period I). Results: Sixty-eight infants the met enrollment criteria and 38 (56%) were born during period II, after the change in $SpO_2$ targets. Demographic characteristics, except gender, were similar between the infants born in both periods. After correcting for the effect of confounding factors, the rates for mortality, severe retinopathy of prematurity, and IVH attended to be lower than those for infants in period II. No difference in the rate of patent ductus arteriosus needed to treat was observed. Conclusion: A change in the practice guidelines aimed at avoiding low oxygen saturation and hyperoxia did not increase neonatal complication rates and showed promising results, suggesting decreased mortality and improvements in short term morbidity. It is still unclear what range of oxygen saturation is appropriate for very preterm infants but the more careful saturation targeting guideline should be considered to prevent hypoxemic events and hyperoxia.

It is necessary to be careful about contamination control to minimize the accumulation of the contamination material on satellite surface during the I&T phase. In the space environment which characterized by high vacuum, high and very low temperature, contamination material causes satellite to lose its own performance. Especially, contamination material can accumulate on critical surfaces such as lenses, mirrors, and sensors. KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) conducts the clean room to control and minimize the contamination effect. This paper introduces the principle of contamination and the method of measure and analysis for the contamination.

황사는 대기오염과 관련하여 심혈관계 및 호흡기계 질환으로 인한 사망 의 증가 등의 건강 영향으로 인해 관심의 대상이 되어왔다. 그러나 최근의 황사성분을 분석한 연구결과에 따르면 실제로 황사기간 동안에 전체먼지농도 중 조대먼지농도의 비율은 증가한 반면 미세먼지농도의 비율은 감소하였고 유해한 중금속의 농도도 별다른 변화를 보이지 않거나 오히려 감소하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서울시의 2000년부터 2002년, 2월부터 5월까지의 황사시기를 포함한 경우와 포함하지 않은 경우를 비교하여 황사현상으로 인한 대기먼지가 총사망에 미치는 영향을 비교하였다. 분석결과에 따르면 총사망에 미치는 대기먼지의 영향은, 황사시기를 포함하여 분석한 경우보다 황사시기를 제외하고 분석한 경우에서 더 큰 건강영향을 보였다. 즉, 황사시기를 제외하고 분석한 경우에서 대기먼지가 총사망에 미치는 위험의 크기가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이는 황사의 화학성분 및 황사시 사람들의 행동양식의 변화와 같은 노출의 감소로 설명될 수 있으며 이는 도시 대기오염의 건강위해성을 평가함에 있어서 황사시기를 포함하여 분석하는 경우 도시 대기오염, 특히 대기먼지의 위해도를 과소평가할 가능성이 있으며, 지금까지 제안되는 기존의 연구결과보다 실제 도시 미세먼지의 건강영향이 훨씬 더 클 수 있음을 본 연구결과가 제시하고 있다.

During the spring and fall of 1994 and winter of 1995, the exposure time of periphyton biomass on terval. In the streams with low periphyton biomass (chi. a: 2-4 mg/$m^2$) in natural rocks, biomass of arttificial substrata (unglazed tile: $3.7{\times}9.5{\times}2 cm$) exceeded that of the natural rocks after 28 days, while sites with high biomass (chi. a: 20-60 mg/$m^2$) in natural rocks showed slower biomass accumulation after 40 days. Due to the high licht input and temperature in a Partially shaded mountain stream, development of periphyton biomass in spring occurred faster than that of winter. In general, development of periphyton biomass placed on artificial substrata took 4-5 weeks in spring and at least 6 weeks In winter to reach the natural level.
