This study analyzed the the risk of halogen lamp for pigsty heating and its fire prevention. Halogen lamps are used for keeping warm in pen because of their excellent economy and convenience. However, there is a high risk of fire due to poor safety management and exposure to animal movements. In fact, after exploring old pigsty and cattle shed, it was easy to confirm that they were exposed to fire risks. We noted this point and studied the possibility of fire by experiment due to combustible contact with halogen lamp and carelessness in use. The experiment was conducted under conditions similar to the actual use environment. After installing halogen lamps to the height used in actual pen, the temperature change was observed with infrared camera with straw, sawdust and rice husks on the floor. And assuming abnormal conditions, the experiment was also conducted under conditions the lamp dropped on the floor or combustible material came into contact with the glass tube inside the lamp. If halogen lamps were used in normal condition, there was no risk of fire. However, in abnormal use environments, smoke comes out or even ignited. Even if it is convenient for use or highly utilized, high risk of fire will require setting up fire prevention measures or regulation of use. Through in-depth fire investigation and research, we should promote the risk of fire and make efforts to prevent fire to minimize human life and property damage.

본 논문은 한국 주식과 미국 주식을 대상으로 Jegadeesh and Titman(1993)의 상대적세력 투자전략의 수익성을 비교 검증하고, 그 수익성의 원천을 분석하고 있다. 실증분석 결과, 과거수개월간 주가수익률이 매우 높았던 승자주식을 매입하고 그 반대의 패자주식을 매도하는 상대적세력 투자전략은 미국 주식사료(1963년${\sim}$1989년)로부터 배우 유의한 비정상적 월수익률 약 1%를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이는 체계적위험에 대한 보상을 고려한 후나 베타 크기별 소표본분석에서 모두 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 반면 동 투자전략은 한국 주식자료(1980년${\sim}$1995년)에서는 오히려 비유의적인 음의 월수익률 약 -0.34%를 얻을 수 있을 뿐이었다. 이러한 한국 주식에 대한 낮은 수익성은 베타 소표본분석과 5년간씩의 소표본기간분석에서도 마찬가지로 나타남으로써, 동 투자전략이 미국에서와 달리 효과적인 투자전략이 되지 못함을 시사하고 있다. 이러한 결과는 한국 주식의 경우 월수익률 패턴이 미국보다도 더 예측하기 어렵고 무작위적이라는 것을 의미하며, 이는 양국 주식시장의 여러 가지 제도상의 차이에 비롯되는 투자자들의 투자행태 차이 때문으로 해석된다. 예를 들어, 한국의 경우 증시안정책이나 부양책 등과 같은 시장 외적인 규제요인에 의해 시장 전체가 영향을 받는 경우가 많으며, 또한 소액투자자의 직접투자 비중이 높아 투자기간(investment horizon)의 측면에서도 투자신탁(mutual fund)과 같은 간접투자 비중이 훨씬 높은 미국에 비해 단기적인 성향이 일반적이며, 따라서 이러한 차이가 월수익률 패턴에 반영되는 것으로 이해된다.

This paper studies implications of financial conglomeration for both financial risk of individual conglomerates and systemic risk potential in post-crisis Korea. Our analyses suggest that we cannot conclude that financial conglomerates are taking on higher risks relative to non-conglomerate independent institutions. We also find that larger financial institutions show a significantly higher profitability and lower variability in profitability operating on a superior efficient frontier. However, it turns out that the consolidation has raised systemic risk potential as direct and indirect interdependencies among large banking institutions have substantially increased. Furthermore, financial conglomerates have become more vulnerable to contagion risks from non-bank sectors and capital markets. In the face of the shifting risk structure, financial supervisory and regulatory systems must be upgraded toward a more risk-based, consolidated supervision. Prompt corrective action provision for financial conglomerates must be based upon fully consolidated group risks, and effective supervisory devices need to be introduced to avoid inadvertent extension of public safety net to cross-sectoral activities of financial conglomerates. It is also critical to strengthen internal control and risk management capacities at financial conglomerates, and to establish strong market discipline by improving information transparency and monitoring incentives in the financial market.

In regard to the regulations related to the RPA(Remotely Piloted Aircraft), which is sometimes called in other countries as UA(Unmanned Aircraft), ICAO stipulates the regulations in the 'RPAS manual (2015)' in detail based on the 'Chicago Convention' in 1944, and enacts provisions for the Rules of UAS or RPAS. Other contries stipulates them such as the Federal Airline Rules (14 CFR), Public Law (112-95) in the United States, the Air Transport Act, Air Transport Order, Air Transport Authorization Order (through revision in "Regulations to operating Rules on unmanned aerial System") based on EASA Regulation (EC) No.216/2008 in the case of unmanned aircaft under 150kg in Germany, and Civil Aviation Act (CAA 1998), Civil Aviation Act 101 (CASR Part 101) in Australia. Commonly, these laws exclude the model aircraft for leisure purpose and require pilots on the ground, not onboard aricraft, capable of controlling RPA. The laws also require that all managements necessary to operate RPA and pilots safely and efficiently under the structure of the unmanned aircraft system within the scope of the regulations. Each country classifies the RPA as an aircraft less than 25kg. Australia and Germany further break down the RPA at a lower weight. ICAO stipulates all general aviation operations, including commercial operation, in accordance with Annex 6 of the Chicago Convention, and it also applies to RPAs operations. However, passenger transportation using RPAs is excluded. If the operational scope of the RPAs includes the airspace of another country, the special permission of the relevant country shall be required 7 days before the flight date with detail flight plan submitted. In accordance with Federal Aviation Regulation 107 in the United States, a small non-leisure RPA may be operated within line-of-sight of a responsible navigator or observer during the day in the speed range up to 161 km/hr (87 knots) and to the height up to 122 m (400 ft) from surface or water. RPA must yield flight path to other aircraft, and is prohibited to load dangerous materials or to operate more than two RPAs at the same time. In Germany, the regulations on UAS except for leisure and sports provide duty to avoidance of airborne collisions and other provisions related to ground safety and individual privacy. Although commercial UAS of 5 kg or less can be freely operated without approval by relaxing the existing regulatory requirements, all the UAS regardless of the weight must be operated below an altitude of 100 meters with continuous monitoring and pilot control. Australia was the first country to regulate unmanned aircraft in 2001, and its regulations have impacts on the unmanned aircraft laws of ICAO, FAA, and EASA. In order to improve the utiliity of unmanned aircraft which is considered to be low risk, the regulation conditions were relaxed through the revision in 2016 by adding the concept "Excluded RPA". In the case of excluded RPA, it can be operated without special permission even for commercial purpose. Furthermore, disscussions on a new standard manual is being conducted for further flexibility of the current regulations.

In this paper, the fire risk using a bimetal type thermometer for construction installation is presented. Because construction equipment is used widely in the field and the site is exposed to explosions and fire by combustible gas or fume, strong restrictions on the structure and usage are applied. Moreover, the risk of fire increases as precise temperature measurements are poorly conducted via an inner temperature sensor inside construction furnace. Therefore, this paper presents the results of structural analysis of a bimetal temperature sensor which is used widely in construction installation and temperature measurement experiments relative to the material property of the target object. The results revealed the relatively precise temperature of the liquid object, whereas those of the gas and solid object showed a lower temperature compared to the real temperature. This shows that bimetal-type temperature sensor is more suitable for measuring a liquid state object than measuring a gas or solid state object.

A large dry PWR containment response analysis for postulated severe accidents was performed as part of the Zion Risk Rebaselining study for input to the U.S. NRC's "Reactor Risk Reference Document," NUREG-1150. The Methodologies used in the present work were developed as part of the Severe Accident Risk Reduction Program (SARRP) at Sandia National Laboratory specifically for the Surry Plant, but they were extrapolated to Zion. Major steps of the quantification of risk from a nuclear power plant are first outlined. Then, the methodologies of containment response analysis for severe accidents used for Zion are described in detail: major features of the containment event tree (CET) analysis codes and CET quantification procedures are summarized. In addition, plant specific features important to containment response analysis are presented along with the containment loading and performance issues included in the present uncertainty analysis. Finally, a brief summary of the results of deterministic and statistical containment event tree analysis is presented to provide a perspective on the large dry PWR containment response for postulated severe accidents.accidents.

오늘날 우리 사회는 물산업의 성장성을 높이 평가, 국내 물산업 육성이 경제발전을 위하여 중요하다고 말한다. 따라서 정부는 정부대로, 기업은 기업대로 시장의 육성 및 선점을 위하여 많은 노력을 경주하고 있다. 특히 최근에는 국내 물시장의 성장 한계성을 이유로 해외 물시장 진출의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 하지만 우리사회는 정작 해외 시장 진출을 위해 무엇보다 중요한 부문인 시장에 대한 정보 탐색에는 노력이 미흡한 실정이다. 즉 해외 물시장 진출의 중요성을 강조하고는 있지만, 어느 시장을 목표시장으로 선정해야 하는지, 무엇이 우리의 강점인지, 무엇을 고객에게 줄 것인지 등에 대한 탐색이 미흡함에 따라, 해외 물시장 진출에 대한 속 시원한 해법을 제시하는 이는 많지 않다. 이에 본 논고는 물시장의 성장 가능성이 높을 것이라고 알려진 아시아 시장의 여러 국가 가운데 국내 시장에도 잘 알려져 있지 않은 말레이시아 시장을 중심으로 정부 정책, 시장 환경, 현지 기술력 등에 관하여 살펴보고, 이를 기초로 시장으로서의 기회와 위험, 그리고 국내 기업의 강점과 약점을 살펴보았다. 분석결과로서 기회와 위험, 강점과 약점을 약술하면 다음과 같다. 먼저 기회의 관점에서 말레이시아는 치수사업, 수도사업, 환경정화사업 등 물산업 인프라가 여전히 취약한 점에서 국내 물기업에게 시장으로서의 기회를 제공하고 있다. 둘째, 외국계 기업에 대한 정부의 규제, 부실한 수도 재정 및 낮은 요금 등은 외국계 기업에 게 있어 위험 요인이 된다. 셋째, 높은 기술력을 이용하여 성공적으로 물 인프라를 구축 운영함으로써 선진국 수준의 물안정성 및 안전성을 확보하고, 4대강살리기 사업과 같은 대규모 프로젝트를 통해 녹색성장 모델을 구축함은 국내 물기업의 큰 강점이다. 넷째, 국내 기업에 대한 현지 시장의 낮은 인지도는 약점 요인이 된다. 현지 이해 관계자의 말에 따르면 "한국계 기업은 보유하고 있는 기술력에 비해 '기업' 및 '보유기술'에 대한 홍보가 부족하다"라고 지적한다. 결과적으로 국내 물기업이 현지 시장에 성공적으로 진출하기 위해서는 무엇보다 국내 기업에 대한 그리고 국내 기술력에 대한 적극적인 홍보가 필요할 것이다.
