Smoke toxicity is the test for the toxicity evaluation of smoke and hazardous gas, caused by combustion of building materials and finishing materials. Smoke toxicity can be evaluated by the mean incapacitation time of mice. This test result can be influenced by the health status of mice and test condition. In acute inhalation toxicity test of hazardous gas, no typical clinical findings and histopathologic abnormalities were observed. Tracheitis and bronchitis as well as acute lung inflammation around terminal bronchiole in some mouse of the highest dose group. Through this study, we established the method for inhalation toxicity test of hazardous gas as well as the SOP of inhalation toxicity test. However, in the future studies, the concentration control methods for inhalation technologies on hazardous gas will be needed to improve continuously and also further studies on other gas inhalation toxicity will be needed to conduct.

The OECD defines regulatory reform as both better regulation and deregulation, and emphasizes that governments must continue to regulate in areas such as environmental quality and safety. In contrast, Korean regulatory reform in fire services in the 1990s shows quite a strange trend, having been carried out only to the direction of softening and abolishing regulations. In the UK, fire prevention legislation has been strengthened since the enactment of the Fire Precautions Act 1971, and the Building Regulations 1991, which apply to all new buildings including a private house, require that there should be at least one smoke alarm on each floor. This research shows that the tightening of fire prevention legislation in the UK has promoted fire safety, which is very instructive for Korean fire services. In order for Korean fire services to protect citizens'lives and property from fires, one of basic directions of regulatory reform, to improve the quality of regulations relating to safety, health and the environment, should be observed strictly. Moreover, the flexibility of the basic direction of regulatory reform should be ensured so that the regulations concerning safety could be even increased under the overall reform strategy of reducing all regulations.

Fire-driven flow and temperature distribution in a ventilated tunnel was analyzed by Large Eddy Simulation using FDS code. The simulated tunnel is 182m length, 5.4m wide and 2.4m height. A pool fire was located 112m from tunnel entrance and was taken as a heat source of $0.89m^2$. The heat is assumed to be released uniformly throughout the whole simulated time. The fire strength was 2.76MW and the fuel burnt was octane. The parallel computational method was employed to accelerate the computing time and manage the large grid points which is not possible to handle in the one CPU. The total grid points used were $2.4{\times}10^6$ and 7 CPUs were used to calculate the momentum and energy equations. The simulated results were well compared with the experiments.

The influence of expandable graphite (EG) on flame retardancy and foaming properties of the NBR/GTR foams was studied. The foaming properties were similar to those of NBR/GTR foams without EG when the EG contents were 10$\~$30 phr. The LOI values were increased with the EG content. For cone-calorimeter test, the data showed the trend similar to that from experiment. When the composition ratios of the compounds of NBR/GTR were 100$\~$0/80$\~$20 (w/w), and the EG contents were 10$\~$30 phr, we obtained high flame retardancy foams with low heat release rate (HRR), total heat release (THR), effective heat of combustion (EHC) and carbon monoxide yield (COY). The smoke density is similar to CO yield values obtained by the cone-calorimeter test. TGA analysis also showed the results approximately similar to those from the LOI and cone-calorimeter experiments.

This study suggests the level of guaranteed reserves that should be accumulated in order to provide guaranteed interest contracts to pension members. To calculate the guaranteed reserve, this study employs the method using variable insurance contracts with guaranteed interest options. The average return of three major pensions (national pension, private teacher's pension, civil servants pension) funds, from 2010 to 2018, is set as the target rate of return and then we establish 0%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% each as our minimum guaranteed returns for their respective guaranteed reserves. Our results firstly show that gaps between each guaranteed reserves are increasing as times goes on. Second, the probability of shortfall reserve is on the decrease as the pension fund is mature. Conclusively, a long-term conservative balance between risk and return is one of the best investing strategies in pension funds providing the guaranteed interest.

In this study, we prepared phosphorous flame-retarding coating solutions by mixing triphosphate (3 phosphonate), phytic acid (6 phosphonate), or ammonium polyphosphate (10 phosphonate) with boric acid as a crosslinking agent and acryl resin binder. Prepared phosphorous flame-retarding coating solutions were coated onto non-woven fabrics, respectively, to obtain high flame-retarding effects. These prepared flame-retardant non-woven fabrics were evaluated using smoke density standard test (ASTM E662), limit oxygen index standard test (ISO E622), and vertical burning standard test (UL 94). Their flame-retarding effects were affected by the number of phosphonate groups. Regardless of natural or synthetic binder resins, their effects showed the following order: ammonium polyphosphate > phytic acid > triphosphate. Natural hydrocarbon compounds were also examined to determine the possible retardancy of binder resins. Results showed that natural hydrocarbon binder resins could be used for preparing fire-retardant nonwoven fabrics.

The Plays of Kang Yang Won and the Theatre Troupe Dong don't aim to use the body as a system of sign in order to express the mind. They want to show the physical presence of an actor which induces sensuous perception of audience, so the possibility of the aesthetics of performativity can be open. Therefore, the properties of body sound and space have important meaning. At the same moment the body of audience has to be open to the perception. It means that the audience has to be ready to perceive the energy breathing density and tension etc. which the body of actor causes. As a result, the audience experiences a simultaneous opening of consciousness and perception: simultaneous opening of consciousness and perception gives the chance of receiving the emergent meaning.

Geugyesuryeonguhoe founded the Silheommudae and chose Nikolai Vasilevich Gogol's Revizor as the founding performance. This Revizor theater performance was a performance equivalent to the founding performance of the Geugyesuryeonguhoe, so it had to be based on the discussion and consensus of the members. Nevertheless, the reasons for selecting this work, the actual performance situation, and whether or not it was successful were not properly addressed in the research data so far. As a result, Revizor performance of Silheommudae did not escape the powerful influence of Revizor theater performance performed at Tsukiji(築地) theater in Japan. In addition, the original design of stage, acting and acting concept of Silheommudae was not confirmed. After this performance, the change of the performance method of Geugyesuryeonguhoe was inevitable. And Geugyesuryeonguhoe was forced to carry out its own reflection on the problems in the stage process.

Purpose: We would like to confirm that the false positive rate of flames/smoke is high when detecting fires. Propose a method and dataset to recognize and classify fire situations to reduce the false detection rate. Method: Using the video as learning data, the characteristics of the fire situation were extracted and applied to the classification model. For evaluation, the model performance of Yolov8 and Slowfast were compared and analyzed using the fire dataset conducted by the National Information Society Agency (NIA). Result: YOLO's detection performance varies sensitively depending on the influence of the background, and it was unable to properly detect fires even when the fire scale was too large or too small. Since SlowFast learns the time axis of the video, we confirmed that detects fire excellently even in situations where the shape of an atypical object cannot be clearly inferred because the surrounding area is blurry or bright. Conclusion: It was confirmed that the fire detection rate was more appropriate when using a video-based artificial intelligence detection model rather than using image data.

This thesis aims to how Seo Ye-won(徐禮元) who was the main character of Yukjeollyeo(六節閭) which means tangible cultural properties can receive Jeongnyeo(旌閭) and when he received it clearly. Also this thesis concentrates on why the name of 'Yukjeollyeo' was used even if there are five Jeongnyeos in the Yukjeollyeo. Lastly, this thesis also focuses on the people related to YookJeol. Seo Ye-won passed away with his family in 1593 when he acted as a head of local administration. In that time, the Jinjuseong(晉州城) battle was originated from Korea-Japan war(1592). After his death, Hoengseong(橫城) family(門中) and Confucian scholar made petition for administration in 1811. As a result Seo Ye-won and his wife Lady Lee of the Jeonju-Lee clan(全州李氏) were celebrated as the Jeongnyeo and Jeongyeogak was built in 1817. And his son(Seo Gye-seong:徐繼聖), Seo Gye-seong's wife Lady Noh of the Pungcheon-Noh clan(豊川盧氏), Seo Ye-won's daughter who were not married also could receive Jeongnyeo as Hoengseong family and confucian scholar made additional petition for administration in 1832. For these reasons, Jeongnyeogak(旌閭閣) was called 'Ojeongnyeo(五旌閭)'. After that, Miryang(密陽) family wanted to move it because Seon Ye-won is not the eldest son in the Hoengseoung family. But it could not be enforced and they made a new Yeokak(閭閣) and called 'Yukjeollyeo'. From that time to 1945, the name of Jeongnyeo in the Hoengseong had been still used 'OjeongYeo' and the signboard of Yukjeollyeo was hanged in Jeongnyeo in Hoengseong after 1945. Although there are five people who can get prize of Jeongnyeo, the reason why the name of 'YookJeol' is to memorize the loyalty of Seo Gye-cheol(徐繼哲) who was Seo Ye-won's second son. Hoengseong family made a representation to the government in order to made Seo Gye-cheol receive Jeongnyeo but he could not be celebrated. For these reasons, the loalty of Seo Gye-cheol with five people who received Jeongnyeo has been celebrated as 'YukJeol'. Through this study we could find the record of Yukjeollyeo and historic point clearly.
