선원들은 '배'라는 한정된 생활공간에서 공동생활을 하면서 선원만의 특수한 생활형태를 형성하고 있다. 즉 선원근로자들은 선상작업을 통하여 통일적이고 협동적인 과업수행을 요구 받으며, 바다라는 고립적 환경에서 장기간 단조로운 집단생활로 인하여 상당한 스트레스에 노출되어 있을 것으로 예상된다. 또한 선내의 환경은 운항에 따른 높은 수준의 소음과 선체의 동요, 한랭과 폭염, 습도 등에 노출되어 있으며, 장시간 격리된 채 바다에서 생활함으로써 가족, 친구 등과의 교류의 기회가 제약됨으로써 이러한 요인들 또한 스트레스로 작용할 가능성이 높은 직업군이다. 본 연구에서는 선상환경에서 선원들의 스트레스 요인과 그 대처방안을 모색하고자 그 기초조사로써 예부선 선원근로자의 직무스트레스와 직무만족도 조사를 실시하였다.

The element arsenic, which is abundant in the Earth's crust, is used for various industrial purposes including materials for disease treatment and household goods. Various human activities, such as the disposal of soil waste, metal mining and smelting, and combustion of fossil fuels, have caused the pollution of the environment with arsenic. Recently, guidelines for arsenic in rice have been adopted by the Korean ministry of food and drug safety to prevent health risks based on rice consumption. Because of the exposure to arsenic and its accumulation in the human body through various channels, such as air inhalation, skin contact, ingestion of drinking water, and food consumption, integrated multimedia risk assessment is required to adopt appropriate risk management policies. Therefore, integrated human health risk assessment was carried out in this study using integrated exposure assessment based on multimedia (e.g., air, water, and soil) and multi-route (e.g., oral, inhalation, and dermal) scenarios. The results show that oral uptake via drinking water is the most common pathway of arsenic into the human body, accounting for 57%-96% of the total arsenic exposure. Among various age groups, the highest exposures to arsenic were observed in infants because the body weight of infants is low and the surface areas of infant bodies are large. Based on the results of the exposure assessment, the cancer and non-cancer risks were calculated. The cancer risk for CTE and RME is in the range of 2.3E-05 to 6.7E-05 and thus is negligible because it does not exceed the cancer probability of 1.0E-04 for all age groups. On the other hand, the cancer risk for RME varies from 6.4E-05 to 1.8E-04 and from 1.3E-04 to 1.8E-04 for infants and preschool children, exceeding the excess cancer risk of 1.0E-04. The non-cancer risks range from 5.4E-02 to 1.9E-01 and from 1.5E-01 to 6.8E-01, respectively. They do not exceed the hazard index 1 for all scenarios and all ages.

Dental professionals are exposed to various occupational risks, among which the problem of hearing damage has been newly revealed. There have been some researches reporting that noise occurring in a dental office exceeds the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Standards. Especially, the pediatric dentists are repeatedly exposed to an additional noise source called the crying sound of children in addition to all kinds of noises from dental instruments. Accordingly, this study intended to investigate the noise environment likely to affect pediatric dentists and to examine the possibility of resultant hearing damages. The level of noise was measured respectively, when various dental instruments (ultrasonic scaler, high-speed handpiece, low-speed handpiece) are operated, when children are crying, and when both occasions take place simultaneously (from the distance of 30 cm) with a portable noise meter. And the daily duration of pediatric dentists exposed to the noise environment was surveyed. The results were compared with the standard value of noise threshold of NIOSH, OSHA, and that of hearing damage of CRA News letter respectively. Considering the intensity and exposure time, the noise environment of pediatric dentists exceeds the allowable noise threshold values. Even only one exposure to crying child was likely to lead to permanent hearing damage. Comparatively, pediatric dentists have a higher risk for occupational hearing damages, and some active measures are thought highly desirable to minimize it.

환경소음에 관한 연구는 주로 소음노출지역에 대한 소음 측정 및 사회적 조사(Social Survey)를 토대로 이루어 졌다. 이는 장기간 소음에 노출된 사람에 대한 소음평가의 수단뿐만 아니라 소음관련 법안 제정에 있어서 규제치를 결정하는 기준으로도 사용될 수 있다. 이에 반하여 본 논문에서는 소음에 대한 순간적인 반응 즉, 짧은 순간의 소음노출에 대한 주관적 반응을 알아보고자 하였으며, 방법적 측면(Methodology)에서의 제약으로 인하여 가상의 음 재현장치의 구성을 통하여 일반인을 대상으로 청감반응실험을 할 수밖에 없다. 먼저 항공기, 기차, 자동차 소음의 샘플을 녹음하여 일련의 신호처리 과정을 통하여 청감반응실험에 사용될 음원을 만들고, 청력검사를 통하여 청각에 이상이 있다고 판단되는 피검자의 데이터는 배제시킨 후 실험을 행하였다. 이러한 청감반응실험을 통하여 소음원의 종류, 성별, 연령, 소음 민감도 등에 따라 소음에 대한 성가심, 불쾌감의 정도는 다르게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

Paralichthys olivaceus (mean length, $13.3{\pm}1.6cm$; mean weight, $25.6{\pm}3.7g$) were exposed to waterborne hexavalent chromium at different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0, and $2.0mg\;L^{-1}$) for 10 days. Hematological parameters such as hemoglobin and hematocrit of P. olivaceus were significantly decreased after waterborne chromium exposure. There were no significant alterations in inorganic plasma components, calcium, or magnesium after waterborne chromium exposure. Organic plasma components such as glucose and cholesterol levels were significantly increased after exposure to chromium at concentration over $1.0mg\;L^{-1}$. However, significant change in total protein was not observed. Enzymatic plasma components such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were significantly increased after chromium exposure. Results of this study indicate that waterborne chromium exposure can cause significant alterations in hematological parameters and plasma components of P. olivaceus. Such changes in parameters could be used as reliable indicators for toxic effects of waterborne chromium exposure.

도심지역의 중금속 배출원은 매우 다양하며, 배출 중금속은 물질별 노출 수준, 노출기간에 따라 건강유해영향을 일으킬 수 있다. 따라서 직업적 노출이 없는 도심 지역의 일반인의 혈중 중금속의 모니터링은 독성학적 측면에서 중요하다. 본 연구는 서울 도심지역의 직업적 노출이 없는 성인 남녀 144명(20∼75세)을 대상으로 중금속(납, 크롬, 니켈, 카드뮴)의 혈액 내 축적된 정도를 평가하였다. 채취한 혈액의 분석은 GF-AAS를 사용하였다. 물질별 혈중 중금속 농도는 납 63.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L, 크롬 0.12 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L, 니켈 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L, 카드뮴 1.43 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L로 각각 조사되었다.

One of the critical themes in the language acquisition is its exposure to linguistic environments. Linguistic environments, which interact with infants, include not only human beings such as its parents but also artificially crafted linguistic media as their functioning elements. An infant learns a language by exploring these extensive language environments around it. Based on such large linguistic data exposure, we propose a machine learning based method on the cognitive mechanism that simulate flexibly and appropriately infant's language learning. The infant's initial stage of language learning comes with sentence learning and creation, which can be simulated by exposing it to a language corpus. The core of the simulation is a memory-based learning model which has language hypernetwork structure. The language hypernetwork simulates developmental and progressive language learning using the structure of new data stream through making it representing of high level connection between language components possible. In this paper, we simulates an infant's gradual and developmental learning progress by training language hypernetwork gradually using 32,744 sentences extracted from video scripts of commercial animation movies for children.

드론 기술의 발전은 우리 실생활에서 IoD를 활용한 다양한 서비스 제공을 가능하게 해주었다. IoD 환경을 실질적으로 활용하기 위해서는 드론과 사용자 간의 인증 및 프라이버시 보호가 보장되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 안전한 드론 운용환경 제공을 위하여 발표된 키 교환 프로토콜들을 분석하여 문제점을 도출하였다. 두 프로토콜 모두 IoD 환경에서 사용자와 드론 간 안전한 키 교환을 목적으로 제안되었으나, 세션키 또는 사용자의 익명 아이디가 노출되어 사용자의 프라이버시가 노출될 수 있다는 문제점과 키 교환 간 사용자의 참여가 요구되어 재해·재난 환경 등 자동화된 프로토콜을 요구하는 실제 환경에 활용되기 부적합하다는 한계를 보여주었다. 따라서 향후 IoD 환경에 적합한 키 교환 프로토콜은 강한 익명성을 동반한 프라이버시 보장뿐 아니라, 드론이 직접 키 교환 요청을 할 수 있어야 한다.
