Recently, place that you need to check wearing mask and body temperature to prevent the proliferation of COVID-19 increased. But these things often measured by man manually or by machine one by one, result may be different by measuring ways, so it wastes workforce. Also, the machine generally just measures the highest temperature of the face, criteria for fever can't be trusted too. A bottleneck may occur due to crowding of people at the entrance, and because most of the measurement sites are at one entrance, it is inconvenient to track the movement of COVID-19 Confirmed cases. Thus, in this study, we intend to propose a method for suppressing the spread of infection by automatically classifying and displaying in real time using camera, thermal camera, Haar Cascade, and result selection algorithm.

문명이 고도로 발달하고 환경위생상태가 양호한 최근에도 세계 도처에서 끊임없이 식중독이 발생되고 있다. 세계보전기구에 의하면 현재 전세계적으로 가장 많이 발생하는 인간의 건강상의 위해 요인은 식중독을 포함하여 오염된 식품으로 인한 질병이라고 생각되고 있다. 이들 중 일부는 출처에서부터 오염된 식품에 의한 것이며, 그 나머지는 식품을 부주의하게 취급함에 의한 것이다. 실제로 지구상 인구의 일부는 생존을 위해서 먹는 음식물에 의하여 식중독이 야기되어 불필요하게 사망하고 있는 것이다. 우리의 일상의 식생활에 있어서 음식물의 취급과 섭취에 주의를 기울이고 올바른 위생 행태를 실천한다면 식중독 발생과 사망, 그리고 경제적 손실을 상당히 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 한편 식중독으로 보고되는 공식적인 추계는 선진국에서조차도 빙산의 일각에 불과하다는 것이 세계적 전문가들의 지론으로서 대개 실제 발생사례의 10% 정도만이 보고되는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 우리 나라의 경우 보고된 통계자료에 의하면 1965년부터 1986년까지의 식중독 경향은 사망자수는 상당히 감소 (연간 40여명에서 10여명 수준으로) 하였으나 이는 아직 급성전염병으로 인한 사망자수를 상회하는 수준이었다. 최근 10년간 (1987-1996)에는 발생수가 연간 31-104건으로 집계되고 있으며 사망자수는 아직도 연간 5-12명으로 나타나고 있다 (감염병 발생정보 등). 1977년에 발생하였던 학교급식 식중독 사례 (1977년 9월, 초등학교 점심급식, 발병자 5,500명 이상, 사망자 1명, 원인식품=크림빵, 병인물질-포도상구균)는 아직도 커다란 교훈으로 남아있다. 우리 나라의 경우 이와 같이 공식적인 식중독 통계자료의 결과가 제시되고는 있으나 식중독 사례에 대한 면밀한 사안이 밝혀지는 경우가 많지 않다. 또한 그 발생 경위나 원인요소에 대해서는 일반에게 공개되지 않고 있어, 우리가 실천하여 식중독을 예방할 수 있는 정보가 함께 제시되지 못하는 형편이다. 따라서 본 고에서는 최근 수년간 외국에서 학교급식을 비롯한 집단급식 등에서 발생한 식중독 사례를 중심으로 고찰, 분석하였다. 이로부터 식중독 발생에 기여한 주요 원인을 찾아내고 여기서 얻어지는 교훈을 토대로 식중독 발생을 예방 및 최소화할 수 있는 실천적 대처 방안을 모색해 보고자 한다.

After the spread of COVID-19 in 2020, the country's Crisis Alert Level went up to the highest level, Level 4. Respond of COVID-19 pandemic, Governments, and cities secured each province's duty for the citizens. The government provided health assistance first and stepped forward to support the necessary resources for the citizens. Busan City proposed policy response to prepare and implement the Corona support for each county as well. The high occupant rate of self-business owners lost basic incomes, and the effect varies on industries. In our paper, to avoid any crisis in such an epidemic, we propose a clustering analysis for the guidance of policy support for Busan City. By analyzing patterns and clustering on districts and Sectors, we would like to provide reference materials for determining the direction of support and guiding preemptive response in the event of a similar epidemic.

최근 증가하고 있는 기후변화에 의해 설계빈도를 상회하는 강우의 발생빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 이로 인한 도시유역의 내수범람 피해가 증가하고 있다. 도시유역에서 발생하는 침수 피해의 경우 인적 물적 자원이 집중되어 있는 도시의 특성으로 인해 침수로 인한 직접적 피해 규모가 상당할 뿐만 아니라 침수 발생 후 세균 및 박테리아에 의해 발생하는 수인성 전염병의 유행 등과 같은 2차적 피해 또한 심각한 사회적 비용을 초래할 수 있어 도시유역의 침수 피해를 저감시키기 위한 대책이 절실히 요구되어지고 있다. 도시유역의 침수를 예방하기 위한 대책은 구조적 비구조적 대책으로 구분되어 질 수 있으며 구조적 대책의 경우 침수 피해 예방에 직접적인 효과를 낼 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 대규모 사업예산 및 사업 기간으로 인해 직접적 효과를 보기까지 상대적으로 긴 시간이 필요할 뿐만 아니라 사업 진행 중 대상지역 거주민들의 민원으로 인한 갈등 조정 등으로 인해 사업실행에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 비구조적 대책의 일환인 수치해석을 통한 침수피해 재현 및 침수원인 파악을 통한 구조개선 제안은 구조적 대책의 단점을 보완할 수있는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다. 도시유역의 경우 비도시유역과 대조적인 차이점으로는 높은 비율의 불투수층, 복잡한 지형, 다수의 인공 구조물 및 배수관망 시스템 등을 들 수 있으며, 침수해석 모형의 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 복잡한 지형의 효율적인 처리가 무엇보다 중요하다. 일반적으로 이용되는 2차원 침수해석 모형들은 직교구조 격자 또는 비구조 격자를 이용하여 지형을 묘사하고 있으며 DEM 자료를 직접 사용하는 직교구조 격자의 경우 지형 데이터 생성이 상대적으로 쉽다는 장점이 있으나 복잡한 지형을 표현하기 위해서는 불필요한 지역까지 높은 해상도를 이용해야 하며 이로 인하여 모의시간이 지나치게 길어지는 문제점이 발생한다. 비구조 격자의 경우 상대적으로 복잡한 도시 유역을 잘 묘사할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 격자망 생성에 필요한 데이터가 많고 격자망 생성에 지나치게 많은 시간과 노력이 소요된다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 위에서 언급한 두 가지 방법의 장점만을 취할 수 있도록 메쉬 세분화 기법을 이용한 2차원 침수해석 모형을 개발 하여 복잡한 지형은 고해상도 메쉬를 이용하여 보다 자세히 묘사하고 상대적으로 복잡하지 않은 지형은 저해상도 메쉬를 이용하여 계산시간을 단축시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 수치해석 기법으로는 엇갈림 격자를 이용하는 Leap-Frog 기법과 유한차분 (Finite difference Method)기법을 이용하였다.

To prevent the damage to human health by climate change, vulnerability assessment should be conducted for establishment of adaptation strategies. In this study, vulnerability assessment was conducted to provide information about vulnerable area for making adaptation policy. vulnerability assessment for human health was divided into three categories; extreme heat, ozone, and epidemic disease. To assess vulnerability, suitable indicators were selected by three criteria; sensitivity, adaptive capacity, and exposure, spatial data of indicators were prepared and processed using GIS technique. As a result, high vulnerability to extreme heat was shown in the low land regions of southern part. And vulnerability to harmful ozone was high in the surrounding area of Dae-gu basin and metropolitan area with a number of automobiles. Vulnerability of malaria and tsutsugamushi disease have a region-specific property. They were high in the vicinity of the Dimilitarized zone and south-western plain, respectively. In general, vulnerability of human health was increased in the future time. Vulnerable area was extended from south to central regions and from plain to low mountainous regions. For assessing vulnerability with high accuracy, it is necessary to prepare more related indicators and consider weight of indicators and use climate prediction data based on the newly released scenario when assessing vulnerability.

Objectives: A group consisted of 32 Korean rural people had been travelled to Cambodia and Vietnam. During their travel for 7 days, first diarrheal case had occurred on 3rd day of travel and overall 8 people had diarrhea during travel. So we investigated the case for determination of the cause and route of infection. Methods: We interviewed all 32 people by visiting or telephone and took 23 stool samples from them, which are examined by Gyeungsangbuk-do Government Public Institute of Health & Environment in Korea. We interviewed travel agency for travel route and schedule. Results: The attack rate was 25.0% (8 cases) among 32 people. Of them, 3 cases were microbiologically confirmed to have the infection of Shigella flexneri (Serotype 3a). The result of this epidemiological investigation showed that the infection of shigellosis was happened in foreign countries. We assumed the water from Angkor-Watt was contaminated by S. flexneri. We could not able to test environmental specimens because of the infection is thought to be occurred in foreign countries. Conclusions: Most common infectious diseases from foreign countries are transmitted by water or food. Travellers to foreign countries must take caution for communicable diseases and must do report and get appropriate treatment when symptoms developed after travel.

Foot-and-mouth Disease (FMD) is a highly infectious and fatal viral livestock disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals domestic and wild and the FMD outbreak in Korea in 2010/2011 was a disastrous incident for the country and the economy. Thus, efforts at the national level are put to prevent foot-and-mouth disease and to reduce the damage in the case of outbreak. As one of these efforts, it is useful to study the spread of the disease by using probabilistic model. In fact, after the FMD epidemic in the UK occurred in 2001, many studies have been carried on the spread of the disease using a variety of stochastic models as an effort to prepare future outbreak of FMD. However, for the FMD outbreak in Korea occurred in 2010/2011, there are few study by utilizing probabilistic model. This paper assumes a stochastic spatial-temporal susceptible-infectious-removed (SIR) epidemic model for the 2010/2011 FMD outbreak to understand spread of the disease. Since data on infections of FMD disease during 2010/2011 outbreak of Aniaml and Plant Quarantine Agency and on the livestock farms from the nationwide census in 2011 of Statistics Korea do not have detail informations on address or missing values, we generate detail information on address by randomly allocating farms within corresponding Si/Gun area. The kernel function is estimated using the infection data and by using simulations, the susceptibility and transmission of the spatial-temporal stochastic SIR models are determined.

This survey was conducted to assess the utilization of health center including health sub-center and community health post and the health service demand of residents in a urban and rural unified community. Officials in Up·Myun·Dong offices visited randomly sampled 4,027 households(4.6% of total households in unified City) which included 3,337 households in urban area(4.9% of total households) and 690 households in rural area(3.7% of total households) and interviewed with heads or housewives of the households in September, 1995. There were significant differences in health-related demographic characteristics including age-sex distribution, educational level, period of residence in the community and medical insurance status of the interviewees between urban and rural areas. Of the respondents, 64.8% in urban area and 55.6% in rural replied that they had utilized the health center in the past. The most common purpose for visiting the health center was to get vaccination in urban area and to get outpatient care in rural area. The top priority health center activity that needs to be reinforced was communicable disease control and over 90% of the respondents preferred to have mobile clinic and home health care service in were also highly demanded. Eighty-six percent of the urban respondents replied that a health sub-center must be established in urban area. In the rural area, 90.3% of the respondents replied that they wanted to maintain the health sub-center and 88.3% wanted to maintain the community health post. Along with the improvement of facilities and equipments of the health center by Rural Health Service Improvement Project, new health service programs must be developed to meet the demand of the community.

Purpose : To determine wether varicella can be prevented by administration of oral acyclovir(ACV) during the incubation period of the disease. Methods : Starting 9 days after exposure to the index case in their families, ACV(40 mg/kg/day in four divided doses) was given orally to 20 exposed children for 5 days. Their clinical features was compared with those of 20 control subjects. Antibody titers to VZV were measured in both group 1 week and 4 weeks after finishing the oral ACV administration. Results : The mean age of family members with varicella(51.4 months) were significantly high compared to that of ACV prophylaxis group(28.5 months) and control group(31 months) (P<0.05). Among the 12 children with ACV prophylaxis who completed follow up blood sampling, nine children were diagnosed as VZV infection on the serologic test(75%). Among them six children showed positive VZV IgM on the first blood sample and two children showed serocoversion to positive IgM on the second test after ACV prophylaxis. One child who was negative on both IgM and IgG, showed positive IgG on the second test. The incidence of fever and severity of skin rashes were significantly low in children received oral ACV than in the control group. No or reduced number of maculopapular eruption were observed in the oral ACV group compared to multiple vesicles of the control group. Conclusion : In the present study, we observed that oral ACV prophylaxis to the family contacts is effective in reducing severity of skin lesion. It is likely that oral ACV 9 days after contact prevents or reduces blood dissemination of VZV. Little is known about clinical effect and immunity to the virus in exposed children with no varicella symptom after treatment. We propose the checking up antibody to VZV some period after oral ACV, and considering vaccination to whom with no antibody. But further more studies are needed to practical application of oral ACV for the postexposure prophylaxis of varicella.
