Over the past few decades, dramatic socioeconomic developments have resulted in the change of epidemiological transition from infectious to chronic diseases as leading causes of death in Korea. Behavioral factors, particularly smoking, diet and activity patterns, alcohol consumptions are among the most prominent contributors to mortality. Since after landmark reports on health promotion in Canada and USA during the 1970s and 1980s, which heralded the commitment of governments to health promotion, many studies have been made on it.

This study was to examine the relationship between suicidal ideation, depression, stress and their parent's socioeconomic status. Nation-wide representative data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009 were used in this study. 904 adolescents with parent were analysed. Parent's socioeconomic status, especially mother's low educational level and the beneficiaries for national basic livelihood security were significant risk factor for adolescents' suicidal ideation. These associations remained significant in multiple logistic regression controlling for all covariates. The findings in the current study support the global literature on the importance of socioeconomic status in promoting adolescent's mental health. Future prevention intervention efforts to improve adolescent's suicide risk will need to take into consideration parent's and household's socioeconomic conditions. Future study is needed to explore the possible proximal risk factors and mediators between parent's socioeconomic status and mental health among adolescents.

This study was conducted to investigate the association between hyperuricemia and the risk of hypertension in Korean adult women using data from the 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 8th wave. Study subjects were 2,693 and descriptive analysis was used to investigate the general characteristics of the subjects. The effects of hyperuricemia on the risk of hypertension were evaluated using binomial logistic regression and it was shown that the risk of hypertension in the hyperuricemia group was higher than in the normal group (OR:1.94, p<.001), after adjusting socioeconomic factors (OR:1.81, p=.001) and even after additional adjustment for health behavioral factors, the risk of hypertension was high (OR:1.54, p=.019). Therefore, in order to prevent hypertension in adult women, it is necessary to develop programs and policies to effectively manage their uric acid levels.

2019년 9월 8일 자동차운반선 골든레이호가 미국 브런즈윅항(Brunswick)항에서 출항 도중 전도되는 사고를 입었다. 도선사와 선원 23명은 모두 구조되었으나, 사고선박은 복구 불가로 전손(해체)처리 되었다. 미연방교통안전위원회(NTSB)는 담당사관이 선박 복원성 계산 프로그램에 평형수 양을 잘못 입력하였고, 충분한 GM 부족으로 선회 중 발생한 경사모멘트에 대응하지 못해 전도된 것으로 추정하였다. 우리나라 중앙해양안전심판원의 특별조사부에서도 미국과 동일한 원인에 의해 전도된 것으로 판단하였다. 본 연구에서는 골든레이호와 유사한 선박을 대상으로 상황별 GM를 계산하였고, 상황별/속력별 최대 횡경사각을 계산하였다. 선속 10노트 이하에서는 GM값이 작은 상황에서도 전도 위험은 높지 않았다. 다만, 13노트 이상이 되면 20도 이상의 횡경사각이 발생하여 전도 위험이 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 이번 골든레이호 전도사고와 같은 사고를 방지하기 위해서는 담당사관이 복원성 계산능력을 충분히 갖출 수 있도록 복원성에 대한 교육 및 훈련을 강화할 필요가 있으며, 복원성 계산과정에서 발생할 수 있는 오류를 확인하기 위한 검증 절차를 선박과 회사에서 마련할 필요가 있다.

Hazard are defined here as threat to life, well-being, material goods and environmental from the extremes of natural processes or technology. The challenges of natural and technology in increasing the exposure of people and property to risk pose a dilemma for any government seeking the fullest protection for its people and their property. As society progresses and as technology improves and becomes ever more intricate and far reaching, the human species is confronted with increasingly diverse and numerous catastrophic events. Not so infrequently, unfortunately, the impact of either a man-made or natural disaster is compounded by the fact that policy makers have neither prepared themselves or the public to respond appropriately to a disaster once the tragedy has struck. Many concerns have been raised for importance of emergency management after 1990's numerous urban disasters in Korea. Emergency management is the discipline and profession of applying science, technology, planning, and management to deal with extreme events that can injure or kill large numbers of people, cause extensive damage to property, and disrupt community life. When the primary function of private security is to protect lives and property of clients, emergency management should be included in the security service and many countermeasures should be carried out for that purpose. The purpose of this study is to establish ways and means needed to improve the private security emergency management system in Korea. This study is spilt into four chapters. Chapter I is the introduction part. Chapter II introduces the reader to a private security and emergency management theory, and Chapter III deals with the establishment of an effective emergency management system in Korea private security, Chapter IV is a conclusion. Policy makers and private security industry employers in Korea has not concerned with the importance of training and education by lack of recognition and has been passive about qualified guards. And the authorities supervising and the administrating the guards has not recognized the importance of private security and has neglected the training of the guards. In theses contexts, private security should develop and maintain a educational program of emergency management to meet their responsibilities to provide the protection and safety of the clients. Today's modern corporate security director, is, first of all, a competent, well-rounded business executive and, second, a 'service expert'. And, emergency management personnel in private security industry need continuous training.

This society faces problems from unequal access to quality education which eventually lead to unequal distribution on wealth. Specifically, those youths with disabilities have a higher risk of living in poverty and becoming marginalized. First established in 2009, the Dodream program has addressed the issue of poverty fixation by establishing long-term supports for households of youths or adults with disabilities through case management. This study analyzes the effectiveness of Dodream program for youths with or youths whose parents are with disabilities on low-income households. The results of the study indicate that the Dodream program leads to improvements in self-concepts and career consciousness among youth. The program was particularly effective in improving the career preparedness of those who were involved. By establishing connections and collaborating with regional case management base institutions and cooperation centers, the program secured various social support resources. Finally the study presents plans on vitalizing the youth support by thoroughly investigating the cases of each study and establishing the program as long-term Human Capital Investment Model.

The first thing we can consider to prevent juvenile delinquency is to punish those criminals. However, this is not always the proper solution. In consideration to the feature of juvenile period when they lack in proper judgment it is better to provide education than punishment so that they are not branded as criminals in our society. Also, by returning to the society, they can obtain social techniques and obtain the opportunity of making contribution to the society, which is also good for their career development. Combining international examples on juvenile delinquency prevention, there is a need to comprehensively evaluate level of probation and risk exposure of juvenile based on placement matrix of comprehensive strategy program in the US. Also, control solution by juvenile crime development phase should be made. In terms of control treatment based on crime phase, crime history should be considered when applying control. For the subject of preventing juvenile crime, it shouldn't be legal organizations like before but shall be home, school, local society, and legal organization together.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and related risk factors of problem drinking in the Korean adult population. Participants (n=7,867) aged 19 years or older were selected from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [KNHANES] of 2007-2008. Sociodemographic characteristics and AUDIT score were obtained from the KNHANES dataset. AUDIT scores were categorized into three groups, including low risk, intermediate risk, and high-risk alcohol drinking according to WHO guidelines. In this study, the prevalence of high-risk and intermediate-risk alcohol drinking were 12.2% and 21.0%, respectively. Adjusted mean AUDIT score was higher in men, younger individuals, as well as those with lower education levels and those that smoked. Results revealed that demographic variables, including sex, age, education level, and smoking, were important factors affected high-risk drinking. In particular, since smoking was the most significant risk factor, the adjusted odds ratio for high-risk drinking among participants that smoked was 4.78 [(95% confidence interval (CI)=3.75-6.10, p<.0001)]. This study suggests that men, younger age, low educational level, and smoking are the risk factors for a high-risk alcohol drinking.
