Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are considered promising energy storage devices with good performance such as high energy density, slow self-discharge rate, high rate charge capacity, and long battery life. However, the application of these LIBs in the high-energy density electric vehicle and large device industries poses a major safety problem. In order to solve this problem, developing a material having high thermal stability and intrinsic safety is the ultimate solution for improving the stability and electrochemical performance of LIBs. This review introduced a surface modification technology of a separator to overcome the stability problem of a commercial separator, and summarized and summarized the research trends using the modified separator for a lithium-ion battery. Based on this, the future prospects for the separator development by surface modification were discussed.

The purpose of this study is to clarify a safety efficiency of ports in South Korea considering port casualties. The paper conducted a vector auto regression to analyze a cause-and-effect relationship between latent factors and port casualties. Subsequently, the paper evaluated safety efficiency for the ports using an undesirable outputs model. The results implied that the number of workers in the shipping union had a statistical effect on the port casualties. In contrast, the number of workers in the operators and working hours are unrelated to the port casualties. In addition, it was found that Yeosu Gwangyang Port is the most safety efficiency port in South Korea. Based on these results, this paper may provide various policy implications for port operators, developers, and managers.

After the Paris Agreement in 2015, the government has been promoting various policies such as 'Hydrogen-Economy Roadmap(2019)' to supply hydrogen. As part of this, the government announced the goal of building 310 hydrogen refueling stations(HRS) until 2022. To this end, special case standard for the introduction of complex, packaged, and mobile hydrogen refueling stations(MHRS) have been enacted and promulgated. The MHRS has the advantage of being able to supply hydrogen to multiple regions. However, due to the movement and close distance between facilities, it is necessary to secure proper installation standards and operational safety through safety analysis. In this study, the possibility of introduction was investigated by designing a standard model and quantitative risk assessment(QRA). As a result of QRA, personal and social risk were acceptable, and the empirical test direction and implications were derived.

As global supply chain risks proliferate unpredictably, the high interdependence of port and logistics industry intensifies the risk burden. This study conducted fundamental research to explore diverse safety issues in domestic ports. Utilizing news article data about Busan Port, we employed LDA topic modeling and time-series linear regression to understand key safety trends. Over the past 30 years, Busan Port faced nine major safety issues-maritime safety, import cargo inspection, labor strikes, and natural disasters emerged cyclically. Major port safety issues in Busan Port are primarily characterized by an unpredictable nature, falling under socio-environmental and natural phenomena types, indicating a significant impact of global uncertainty. Therefore, systematic policies need to be formulated based on identified port safety issues to enhance port safety in Busan Port. Additionally, there is a need to strengthen the resilience of port safety for unpredictable risk situations. In conclusion, advanced research activities are necessary to promote port safety enhancement in response to dynamically changing social conditions.

Safety related workers, such as firefighters, have to wear a protective helmet. The Development of Helmets for safety is in progress to promote the wearable device industry. Several accidents caused by negligence in recent days have raised public attention to safety. For this reason, the amount of national budget funding for the study of fire-fighting and smart safety helmets has increased. However, most previous studies have focused on safety, rather than the application of new technologies based on physical attributes, especially the characteristics of head shape and size, even though fire helmets play the critical role of protection from flames and external shocks etc. in an emergency. This paper will present the smart technologies and newly developed designs for safety helmets that are personalized for each firefighter, based on the characteristics of their head, and will help a rescue operation to be much more safe and efficient.

In this study, we tried to find out port safety from various perspectives through news data that can be easily accessed by the general public and domestic academic journal data that reflects the insights of port researchers. Non-negative Matrix Factorization(NMF) based topic modeling was conducted using Python to derive the main topics for each data, and then semantic analysis was conducted for each topic. The news data mainly derived natural and environmental factors among port safety risk factors, and the academic journal data derived security factors, mechanical factors, human factors, environmental factors, and natural factors. Through this, the need for strategies to strengthen the safety of domestic ports, such as strengthening the resilience of port safety, improve safety awareness to broaden the public's view of port safety, and conduct research to develop the port industry environment into a safe and specialized mature port. As a result, this study identified the main factors to be improved and provided basic data to develop into a mature port with a port safety culture.

Decentralized SSI(Self Sovereign Identity) has become an alternative to a new digital identity solution, but an efficient de-identification technique has not been proposed due to the unique algorithmic characteristics of data transactions. In this study, to ensure the decentralized operation of SSI, we propose a de-identification technique that does not remove identifiers by restructuring the verification results of ZKP (Zero Knowledge Proof) into a form that can be provided to the outside by the verifier. In addition, it is possible to provide restructured de-identification data without the consent of data subject by proposing the concept of differential sovereignty management for each entity participating in verification. As a result, the proposed model satisfies the domestic personal information protection law in a decnetralized SSI, in addition provides secure and efficient de-identification processing and sovereignty management.

This study presents basic data on how to secure stability by analyzing the change in tensile force of steel rod and the inclination characteristics of PSC BOX in the "Temporary fixation system using internal prestressing tendon", which is mainly applied to construction of superstructures by FCM. To date, it has been difficult to confirm the changes in tension force of the steel rod and the inclination of the PSC BOX because the steel rod was installed vertically inside the pier and the PSC BOX. Therefore, measurement of the change in length of the steel rod and the displacement of PSC BOX were performed using a micro-measured FBG sensor. Comparisons of the calculated tensile force and the residual tensile force of the steel rod revealed that the safety factor decreased in all bridges. The cause was mainly identified to be the loss of tensile force in fixation~1segment, and countermeasures are suggested. The analysis of the inclination characteristics showed that the inclination increased with the segment progresses even in bridges with sufficient safety factor, and the difference before and after the segment was confirmed. In addition, the increase in inclination was related to the loss of tension force in the steel rod, and the stress on the opposite sides of the inclination was further reduced. It is believed that upward tensile force is generated in the steel rod on the opposite side of the inclined side due to the unbalanced moment, causing the difference in stress of the steel rod between the two sides.
