18세기 우두를 발명한 영국의 에드워드 제너(1749~1823년)는 당시 가장 무서웠던 전염병 천연두를 퇴치하는데 큰 공을 세웠다. 영국의 버클리라는 작은 마을에서 목사의 아들로 태어난 제너는 런던서 의학공부를 하고 고향으로 돌아와 목동이나 우유짜는 여인들은 '천연두에 걸리지 않는다'는 사실에 착안하여 연구 끝에 우드를 발명한 것이다.

에드워드 제너(Edward Jenner, 1749~1823)가 종두법을 발견할 때문 하더라도 천연두는 매우 치명적인 질병이었다. 치사율이 20~40%에 달했으며, 수만년 동안 태양왕 루이 14세를 비롯한 5억 명 이상의 소중한 생명을 앗아갔다. 하지만 제너의 종두법으로 천연두를 서서히 정복해나가 1980년 12월 WHO는 공식적으로 지구상에서 천연두가 완전히 사라졌다는 공식발표를 하기에 이른다. 전염병과의 전쟁에서 인간이 완벽하게 승리한 것이다. 전염병과의 전쟁에서 거둔 첫 승리는 제너가 있었기에 가능했다. 제너의 삶을 뒤돌아보고, 종두법을 창시하기 까지의 도전을 살펴본다.

미국의 의사 알렌은 우리나라에 처음 들어온 서양의사로 1884년부터 20년동안 이 땅에 살아오면서 의술을 펴왔다. 알렌은 우리나라 최초의 근대식 병원 광혜원을 세웠으며 자객의 칼에 맞은 민비의 조카 민영익의 생명을 구해냈다. 민영익과의 인연으로 시의가 된 알렌은 어렸을 때 천연두로 시력을 잃었던 이승만을 치료해 시력을 회복시켜 주기도 했다.

공기 중에 존재하는 미생물(바이오에어로졸, bio-aerosol)은 많은 질병 발생의 원인이다. 의학계에서는 바이오에어로졸과 공기 매개성 질병의 전파와의 연관성이 잘 알려져 있다. 특히 결핵, 수두, 홍역, 천연두의 발병은 공기를 통한 질병 전파의 중요성을 확인시켜 준다. 그러나 IAQ(indoor air qualify)의 영향은 최근에서야 조사되었다. 보건의료기관과 연구실험실에서는 세균과 진균의 감염이 HVAC 시스템을 통해서 종종 일어난다. 유사한 IAQ연구에서는 바이오에어로졸이 빌딩증후군과 같은 빌딩과 관련된 질병(building-related illness, BRI), 감염, 중독성 증상, 민감성 질병과 1차적으로 연결되어 있음을 발견되었다.

This study Is to forecast the damage of smallpox as a biological weapon and to measure the effect of potential responses (quarantine, vaccination and cure) to the spread of smallpox infection when a smallpox bioterrorism attack occurs. We designed the smallpox spreading simulation model through the literature study on a basis of some existing infectious disease models such as SIR, SEIR model by using Vensim program. In order to evaluate the performance of responses to smallpox, we measure the total infection population, infection sustaining duration, average infection rate and the infection spreading behavior of the smallpox. This study can help those who are related to the bioterrorism forecast the present and possible demage, and take more effective actions for minimizing the damage by smallpox bioterrorism.

Bacillus anthracis, Vibrio cholerae, Variola virus and Shigella dysenteriae are classified as category A and B biological weapons. In this study suggest that 4 genes of Bacillus anthracis, 2 genes of Vibrio cholerae, 1 gene of Variola virus and 1 gene of Shigella dysenteriae were detective 50~500 fg of target DNA per reaction using real-time PCR based assay. Also analytical specificity did not show any cross-reactivity with other related bacteria. Reliable and one reaction could be effective early diagnostic and treatment for detection of unknown samples.

As Influenza A virus(H1N1) has been spreading more rapidly around globe, the study on the airborne disease which is transimitted through the respiratory system is on the rise. In this study, the multizone simulation of the public building against bioviolence is performed in the case of unexpected spread of microbial contaminants, such as bioviolence agent, Influenza A, Smallpox, B. anthrax and transport and control characteristics of above three kinds of bioviolence agents are evaluted. Results suggest that Influenza A and Smallpox which has small mean diameter can be more removable than B. anthrax by using high UVGI grade condition and B. anthrax which has large mean diameter can be more removable than Influenza A and Smallpox by using high filter grade condition. Results also suggest that installing a combined air treatment system is more effective to reduce the damage and engineers will use immune building technology for removing the bioviolence agents effectively.

2020 was a year in which the world spent in disorder due to the pandemic of Coronavirus infection-19(COVID-19). The pandemic was at the beginning of a turning point in history. For examples, the Black Death(Pest) that destroyed the feudal system of medieval Europe in the 14th century, smallpox that led to the destruction of the Inca Empire by Spain in the 17th century, and the Spanish flu that ended World War I early. The great transformation that will come after COVID-19 is presented from various fields and perspectives, but the understanding and direction of the transformation is ambiguous. This study attempts to derive and to analyze core terms based on a network of the future of globalization after COVID-19. Four Networks related to globalization, anti-globalization, and globalization and digitalization after COVID-19 were established respectively. A network integrating four networks was also constructed. The core terms were extracted from the hub nodes, the stress centrality, and the simplified network to which the K-core algorithm was applied. After COVID-19, the changes in globalization were analyzed from the extracted core terms. This study is thought to be meaningful to propose a method of deriving and analyzing core terms based on a network in understanding social changes after COVID-19.

This study aimed to reconsider the theory that the renowned Amisan(峨眉山) terraced garden at north of Gyotaejeon(交泰殿) was artificially made, by reviewing the historical records and drawings. It has been widely accepted that Amisan was made of the digged soil from Gyeonghoeji(慶會池). But several arguments about artificial mountain theory of Amisan that completely not be found in historical records have been raised in this study. The results were summarized as follows; the inherent contradiction in existing opinion, the discordance between the time of building Gyeonghoeji and Gyotaejeon, the existence of the mountain range which connect Baekaksan and Amisan appeared in Dohyeong(圖形), historical documents written in the years of kingdoms of Youngjo(英祖) and Gojong(高宗), a high position seen from Heungbogjeon(興復殿) in the north Amisan through the wall in the east but impassable, an opinion about realization Amisan as geomantic term of Amisa(蛾眉砂) at the time of Gyeongbok Palace reconstruction, and preservation of the mountain range in Gyeongbok Palace that comes from the result of the arguments in main mountain of Gyeongbok Palace in the year of Sejong(世宗). In addition, it was investigated why the slop in the north of Gyotaejeon was named as Aminsan and why the artificial mountain theory is appeared and made a conclusion that the Amisan comes from the change of the pronunciation of the geomantic term "Amisa", and modeling the yijing[意景] of Amisan which is a sacred place of Taoism and Buddhism in Sichuan[四川] of Chinaand the view of construction to mean defeating a spirit of smallpox which had to be cured. And it seems to be a result which retroactively applied the artificial mountain theory of Amisanis the technique of 'constructing mountain with digged pond dirt' to the relationship between Gyeonghoeji and Amisan. The greater part of mountain range which was connecting with Baekaksan and Amisan was seriously disconnected with large scale of exposition by the Japanese colonial period in 1915. But low slope is kept about 70 meters along the trail northeast of Gyotaejeon. Accordingly, it is judged that the range has not been entirely destroyed. And according to the result of elevation analysis, discontinuous slope form certain axis is found, so the mountain range of Amisan is approximately estimated. This basic research about the mountain range of Amisan might provide a critical clue about restoration of topography in Gyeongbok Palace.
