The present study introduces a procedure to prepare and manage a high-resolution rainfall and soil moisture (SM) database in the LAMP prediction system, especially for landslide researchers. The procedure also includes converting the data into spatial resolution suitable for their interest regions following proper map projection methods. The LAMP model precipitation and SM data are quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated to identify the model prediction characteristics using the ERA5 reanalysis precipitation and observed 10m depth SM data. A detailed process of converting LAMP Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) output data for 10m horizontal resolution is described in a step-wise manner, providing technical convenience for users to easily convert NetCDF data from the WRF model into TIF data in ArcGIS. The converted data can be viewed and downloaded via the LAMP website (http://df.ncam.kr/lamp/index.do) of the National Center for AgroMeteorology. The constructed database will contribute to monitoring and prediction of landslide risk prior to landslide response steps and should be data quality controlled by more observation data.

The purpose of this article was to propose improvement of countermeasure for missing person cases. While current related other studies examined practice of the countermeasure from inner viewpoint of police authorities itself, this study focused on and analyzed concern or criticism expressed through mass media, outside of the authorities. For this purpose, we analyzed newspaper articles dealing with missing person issued during past 5 years with qualitative data analysis software. The analysis revealed that civil community demands immediacy of coping with missing, phased expertise, systemicity of the countermeasure, improvement of relating policy, and active liaison with community. According to the needs, we proposed advancing risk assessment procedure, enlarging dedicated team for missing case, improving profiling-input system, adding duty for family of missing person, and enhancing of function of control tower.

Recently, it becomes more important to carry out the feasibility study on government R&D projects since the amount of R&D funds increases. For this purpose, until so far the general framework on the preliminary feasibility study for government driven research projects has been built and modified, and well applied to several domains. However, there is still the limitation in applying the method of preliminary feasibility study to system development research projects. The system development research projects have many different features compared to general research projects, for example, long-period development, lots of stakeholder involvement, multi-disciplinary works, and so on. Considering these characteristics, it is necessary to improve the method for the preliminary feasibility study. In this vein, this study deals with looking into the improvement points of the preliminary feasibility study in terms of the application of the system development projects.

This paper tried to verify whether the fixed fire fighting system (FFFS) that is installed in road tunnel improves evacuation performance or not. Verification was performed according to the Disaster Prevention Facilities Installation and Management Guide at Road Tunnel. Twenty seven different fire scenarios were set up for the verification and the cases that FFFS was installed were compared with the cases that FFFS was not installed. The result of the comparison showed that the average equivalent death was reduced in 26 cases out of 27 cases when water spray extinguishing system was installed. It was confirmed that the risk when was not installed was unacceptable in Hong Kong and the Netherlands. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the risk was reduced to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) when was installed. The cumulative frequency of average death in case with FFFS was compared against the frequency of death without FFFS: death of one or more is about 50 times less; 10 or more is about 100 times less; and the death of more than 100 is four times less. It was verified that FFFS makes improved conditions to escape from the fires in road tunnel.

World Health Organization reveals its plan for listing 'Gaming Disorder' on the 11th International Disease Codes (ICD-11) in 2018 and it opens hot debate among scholars on its validity and timeliness. Korea, however, seems to have avoided the issue without appropriate academic refutation. In this paper, we review past academic studies related to game addiction or disorder focused on their validity of disorder measurement tools, research designs and the effect of neuroimaging studies. This analysis reveals that excessive use of gaming is not sufficient to register it as a disease and there is a risk of stigmatizing healthy gamers.

This study presented the basic data for determining reasonable construction method and evaluating the structural safety of suspension bridges. The analytical program was developed to conduct initial shape and natural frequency analysis, construction stage analysis and reliability analysis considering construction sequences. This program was based on analysis models of suspension bridges and reliability theories used in the previous study. A construction method was established considering various construction variables such as construction order and construction direction of girder and synchronized construction of main and side span etc. The dynamic construction analysis by a construction scheme was conducted with the developed program. Benefits of the characteristic analysis by the construction scheme was presented estimating structural response of critical members respectively. Structural reliability analysis by construction stage was conducted considering aleatory uncertainties. The safety of suspension bridges by established construction method was quantitatively estimated using reliability index and failure probability. Analytical results were re-estimated considering epistemic uncertainties, and critical percentile distributions of risk at the construction stage were presented using the frequency histogram.

As the growth of the domestic defense industry is remarkable regarding technology level and export size, technology protection is necessary. Particularly, there is a need to apply anti-tamper measures to prevent critical technologies from illegally being taken out of weapon systems. However, there is no security protection strategy and system built yet in ROK. Precedent studies discussed the trend analysis and technical research for specific protective techniques, and the application of anti-tamper using limited procedures was provided. Recently, methods of how to select the technology for protection were studied based on risk management. Nonetheless, these studies cannot be associated with the acquisition process for the whole life-cycle, having difficulty with actual development and evaluation of the weapon systems. The objective of our study is to derive the system requirements of the weapon system for which anti-tamper measures have been determined to apply. Specifically, requirements items suitable for the development of anti-tamper weapon systems were derived based on ISO/IEC 19790, the CMVP standard for the development and verification of cryptographic modules. Also, its utilization in technical reviews and test & evaluations was presented. The usefulness of the research results was confirmed through inductive inference and comparative evaluation. The result can be expected to play a role in initiating extensive activities needed for technology protection of the weapon systems.

Fuel tank of a rotorcraft has a great influence on the survivability of crews. For a long time, US army has tried to develop the proper material for fuel cell of a military rotorcraft. As a result, the design specification of fuel cell, MIL-T-27422A, was issued for the first time on 1961. Through a few revisions, it has been developed to ML-DTL-27422D in 2007. It should be assured that fuel cell satisfies the requirement defined in MIL-DTL-27422D. The qualification test of this specification is classified into Phase I test for material and Phase II for fuel cell itself. This paper studies test conditions and procedures of slosh & vibration, gunfire resistance and crash impact test. They are considered as the most important tests which have a high possibility of failure. The rational consideration of this paper can improve the ability for estimating not only the validity of test procedure and test condition but test result. Based on the rational consideration, it is expected that the ability of the systematic development can be improved.

The purpose of this study was to identify the trends and risk of bias of research using time series analysis on health and welfare in Korea and to suggest a direction for future health and welfare research. The database searches identified 6,543 papers. Following the process for screening and selecting, a total of 91 papers were included in the systematic review. There has been a steady increase in the number of articles using time series analysis from 1987 to 2013. Time series analysis was applied in medicine and health science journals. The main goals were explanation and description. Most of the subjects were heath status and utilization of healthcare services. The main model used in the time series analysis was ARIMA followed by time series regression. The data were gathered from various sources, including the national statistical office and government agencies. For assessing risk of bias, some studies were found to have inadequate sample sizes or showed no time series graphs and plots. These findings suggest greater widespread utilization of time series analysis in the field of health and welfare and to use the appropriate analysis methods and statistical procedures to obtain more reliable results to improve the quality of research.
