Traffic accidents on freeway are occurred by various factors, and driver inattention is one of the most important factors causing traffic accidents. To warn drivers about unexpected dangerous events and diminish driver inattention problems, traffic safety facilities including warning and regulatory traffic signs; delineators; rumble strips are installed. In this study, the traffic safety effect of shoulder rumble sips were investigated using "Comparison Croup (C-G)" method developed by Hauer. Through the analyses, it was found that numbers of run-off-the road crashes were reduced as 2.43 crashes per year after the installation of shoulder rumble strips on the freeway. Based on the analysis results in this study, it was concluded that shoulder rumble strips on the freeway contribute to reduce traffic accidents, especially run-off-the road crashes.

This paper first reviewed the current neurological theories concerning the etiology of ADHD and secondly, examined results of studies that applied neuropsychological assessment methods in the examination of ADHD children both here in Korea and abroad. ADHD children were found to exhibit characteristic responses indicating deficits in vigilance, sustained attention, distractibility, allocation and regulation of attention in many assessments of attention, in addition to deficits in executive functioning, working and associative memory. Such neuropsychological assessment results suggest that in addition to dysfunction in the frontal lobe and the reticular activation system, dysfunction may exist in other neural pathways involving many areas of the brain. However, because a substantial number of neuropsychological assessment tools being employed in Korea for ADHD children had been developed abroad, a Korean standardization project involving ADHD and normal control children, in addition to other child psychiatric population pools must be conducted in order to obtain appropriate age norms and test validity, and in order to make possible a more accurate and precise comparison and interpretation in the assessment of ADHD children.

The present study has been performed to evaluate the reliability of the fire field model (FDS version 5.2) with yield rate concept of combustion products. The CO and smoke density predicted by FDS model was directly compared with measurement in a reduced scale ISO-9705 room. The GER (global equivalence ratio) concept was used to characterize the CO and smoke density with ventilation condition in the fire compartment. The FDS model tends to under-predict CO concentration and smoke density than those of measurement for the under-ventilated conditions. Also, the discrepancy between predicted and measured result increases as GER increases. In order to improve the reliability of the fire model for performance evaluation of fire safety, the fire model is necessary to be validated in various fire cases as well as develop detailed physical model.

This study conducted a network meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness and ranking of pressure ulcer preventive programs in intensive care units. A frequency network meta-analysis was performed to identify evidence from relevant randomized control trials. A total of 10 randomized control trials involving 5 intervention subgroups were included in this study. Based on the ranking probabilities(P-Score), preventive materials was ranked as the most effective among all programs (P-Score 85.3.%: OR=0.12, 95% CI: 0.03, 0.49). Next was silicone foam dressing(P-Score 84.5%: OR=0.14, 95% CI: 0.05, 0.38), care bundle(P-Score 60.0%: OR=0.29, 95% CI: 0.07, 1.25), reposition (P-Score 32.3%: OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.21, 2.09) and synthetic fabrics (P-Score 23.8%: OR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.20, 3.65). It is necessary to develop practical and efficient interventions that can prevent pressure ulcers in intensive care unit patients, improve patient safety, and reduce nurses' workload.

Currently, cofferdams of circular cross section are widely applied as temporary facilities for the installation of bridge foundations in river/sea bridge construction in Korea. Existing caisson, sheet pile, and cell type cofferdam are widely used, but these methods take a lot of time and cost for installation and dismantling. In the case of the existing sheet pile construction method, attention is needed to secure internal and external stability because of the damage to the sheet pile due to ground penetration and difficulty in connecting element members. In this study, penetration design of circular steel pipes using suction pressure was performed on the soft ground of the west coast, and it was confirmed that penetration construction using suction pressure was possible through field tests. It was confirmed that applying the ground analysis results using the cone penetration test (CPT) to the design rather than the standard penetration test (N value) results more similar to the field test results. In addition, it was confirmed that local failure of the inside of the cofferdam was induced when a suction pressure higher than the upper limit suction pressure was applied in the silty sand.

This study was demonstrated to estimate the measurement uncertainty of 23 multiple-component amino acids from beef bone extract by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The sources of measurement uncertainty (i.e. sample weight, final volume, standard weight, purity, standard solution, calibration curve, recovery and repeatability) in associated with the analysis of amino acids were evaluated. The estimation of uncertainty obtained on the GUM (Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement) and EURACHEM document with mathematical calculation and statistical analysis. The content of total amino acids from beef bone extract was 36.18 g/100 g and the expanded uncertainty by multiplying coverage factor (k, 2.05~2.36) was 3.81 g/100 g at a 95% confidence level. The major contributors to the measurement uncertainty were identified in the order of recovery and repeatability (25.2%), sample pretreatment (24.5%), calibration-curve (24.0%) and weight of the reference material (10.4%). Therefore, more careful experiments are required in these steps to reduce uncertainties of amino acids analysis with a better personal proficiency improvement.

Recent intensification of climate change has led to an increase in damages caused by droughts. Currently, in Korea, the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is used as a criterion to classify the intensity of droughts. Based on the accumulated precipitation over the past six months (SPI-6), meteorological drought intensities are classified into four categories: concern, caution, alert, and severe. However, there is a limitation in classifying drought intensity solely based on precipitation. To overcome the limitations of the meteorological drought warning criteria based on SPI, this study collected emergency water supply damage data from the National Drought Information Portal (NDIP) to classify drought intensity. Factors of SPI, such as precipitation, and factors used to calculate evapotranspiration, such as temperature and humidity, were indexed using min-max normalization. Coefficients for each factor were determined based on the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The drought intensity based on emergency water supply was used as the dependent variable, and the coefficients of each meteorological factor determined by GA were used as coefficients to derive a new Drought Severity Classification Index (DSCI). After deriving the DSCI, cumulative distribution functions were used to present intensity stage classification boundaries. It is anticipated that using the proposed DSCI in this study will allow for more accurate drought intensity classification than the traditional SPI, supporting decision-making for disaster management personnel.

The purpose of this study is to examine the patterns of the keywords in journals in the field of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify the knowledge structure of CBT studies in Korea. To compare CBT studies from Korea and abroad, 234 articles (2008-2019) published on "Cognitive Behavior Therapy in Korea" and 2,316 articles (1977-2019) published on "Cognitive Therapy and Research" were collected. The data were analyzed using NetMiner 4.3. The co-word analysis was done by calculating the cosine similarity matrix of major keywords, followed by visualizing the network. The results of this study identified the main interests of Korean CBT scholars, and categorized the knowledge structure of CBT in Korea into 9 research areas: "scale validation"; "perfectionism and entrapment"; "cognitive, emotional, and relationship characteristics of schizophrenic patients"; "cognitive characteristics and treatment of borderline personality disorder and depression/bipolar disorder patients"; "adaptation and psychological health"; "cognitive characteristics and treatment of patients with social anxiety disorder"; "causes and co-morbidities of depression"; "acceptance and commitment therapy"; and "understanding and the treatment of binge eating disorder patients." This study is meaningful in that it has reviewed the accumulated knowledge in the CBT field in Korea for the past 11 years, and suggests future tasks for development to improve the standards of CBT practice.

가뭄이 '심함' 단계 이상 도달 시에는 매주 수문분석을 수행하여 가뭄전망을 수행하여야 한다. 이를 위해서는 기상청의 강수량과 기온 등의 기상예측 자료가 필요하다. 현재 기상청에서는 3개월 기상전망으로 월단위 강수량과 평균기온을 매월 제공하고 있다. 1개월 전망에서 4주의 강수량합과 평균기온을 제공하고 있다. 하지만, 향후 4주간을 전망하는 1개월 전망에서는 1주단위의 강수량과 평균기온이 아닌, 4주간의 강수량합과 평균기온을 1주일 단위로 업데이트해 WINS에 제공하고 있다. 1주단위의 강수량과 평균기온을 취득하기 어려워, 평년 일단위 강수량과 평균기온 자료를 사용하여 4주간의 자료를 1주 단위로 분할하는 방법을 사용하였다. 주간단위 수문자료의 처리를 위해 국제표준기구(ISO)에서 제시하는 기준(ISO 8601)에 따랐다. ISO 8601은 월요일부터 일요일까지를 1주로 정의하며 현재 사용하고 있는 날짜체계와 1대1로 대응되도록 하였다. 예를 들면 1981년 2월 22일은 '1981-W07-7' 또는 '1981W077'로 표시한다. 표시된 형식은 1981년 7번째 주 일요일을 뜻한다. 이 기준에 따라 수문자료를 정리할 수 있도록 프로그램을 개발하였다. 주간 단위 잠재증발산량 계산은 월잠재증발산량 프로그램을 1주단위로 계산할 수 있도록 수정 및 보완하여 개발하였다. 수정 및 보완한 부분은 외기복사(外氣輻射)량 계산부분이다. 외기복사량은 지구가 태양을 1년 주기로 공전하므로 특정 위도에서 특정날짜에 따라 복사량이 달라지므로 주간단위의 월요일부터 일요일에 해당하는 날짜의 외기복사량을 각각 계산하고 이를 평균하여 주간단위 대푯값으로 사용하도록 하였다. 계산된 주간단위 외기복사량과 최고 최저기온을 입력하여 Hargreaves식에 의해 잠재증발산량을 계산한다. 융적설을 포함한 주단위 강우-유출 모형의 매개변수를 추정하기 위해 전국 24개 지점의 수문자료를 사용하였다. abcd 모형과 융적설모듈의 초기값 포함 11개 매개변수를 SCE-UA 전역최적화 알고리즘으로 추정하였다. 추정된 유역의 매개변수는 토양배수, 토양심도, 수문지질, 유역특성인자를 사용한 군집분석 결과에 의해 113개 중권역에 할당하였다. 개발된 주간단위 강우-유출 모형은 비교적 단기 가뭄전망을 위해 사용된다. 계산된 유량은 자연유량이며, 전국 취수장 수량, 하수처리장 방류수, 회귀수를 반영하여 지점별 유량을 계산하여 가뭄전망에 사용되고 있다.
