산불피해강도지수(CBI, Composite Burn Index)는 미국 산림청(USDA Forest Service)에서 위성영상을 이용하여 산불 피해강도 측정을 위해 개발한 산불피해 현장 조사 지수이다. 국내의 경우 별도의 산불피해 지수가 없어, 미국 CBI를 산불 피해지 조사에 준용하여 왔으나, CBI는 국내 여건에 맞지 않다는 지적이 제기되어 산불피해강도지수(KCBI, Korean Composite Burn Index)를 개발하게 되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 미국 CBI에 기초하여 한국형 산불피해강도지수(KCBI, Korean Composite Burn Index)의 개발과 검증에 목표를 두고 수행되었다. KCBI는 CBI에 기초하여 국내 현장적용 후 문제점을 파악 후 정교화 하였으며, 위성영상 결과와의 적합성 검토를 위하여 2011년도 산불 피해지중 상대적으로 피해 규모가 큰 울진과 영덕 산불피해지를 연구 대상지로 선정 후 각 44개 지점에서 산불피해 강도를 평가하였다. 산불피해강도(BS, Burn Severity)는 산불발생 후 1개월 후에 촬영된 SPOT 영상을 이용하여 NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) 값으로 계산하였으며, 상관분석과 오류메트릭스(Confusion Matrix)를 이용하여 유효성을 검증하였다. 분석 결과 울진피해지는 (r = -0.544, P<0.01), 영덕피해지 (r = -0.616, P<0.01)로 나타났다. 부의 상관관계를 나타난 이유는 NDVI의 DN 값은 낮을 수 록 높은 피해강도를로 나타내며, 높을수록 낮은 피해강도를 나타내기 때문이다. 본 결과로 제시된 KCBI는 국내 산불 피해 현장에서 적용 가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 하지만 등급분류 방법과 기대치 보다 낮은 상관도 등의 문제점도 나타났다. 또한 오류메트릭스 분석결과 KCBI가 일부 높은 산불 강도 등급에 치우쳐 분포하는 현상 등이 나타났다. 제기된 문제점들을 바탕으로 향후 KCBI를 더 많은 한국 산불피해지에 적용함으로써, 추후 연구를 진행해야 할 것이다.

Objectives: On September 27, 2012, leakage of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid occurred in a chemical plant in the Gumi National Industrial Complex. Following the accident, local factory workers and residents complained of abnormal health conditions. In addition, visual discolorations were widely observed in crops and trees in surrounding areas. The main objectives of the present study were to identify the area that was affected by the spill using data obtained from plants, soil, and water samples after the accident. Methods: Fluoride concentrations were analyzed in pine tree needles, soil, nearby streams, ponds and reservoirs collected from an area within a radius of three kilometers from the plant where the leak occurred. Fluoride concentrations in the air at the time of leakage were then estimated from fluoride concentrations that were measured in the pine tree needles. A Kriged map was developed to describe the spatial distribution of hydrofluoric acid at the time of the leakage and was compared with the area designated as a Special Disaster Zone by the government. Results: The Special Disaster Zone did not include all the affected area that was estimated by the Kriged map. Analytical results of the environmental samples also supported this discrepancy. Conclusion: Using plants, atmospheric concentrations of fluoride at the time of the leakage could be estimated. For the area that was identified as affected, further public health risk assessment and environmental risk assessment should be considered. Also, in the absence of air monitoring at the time of leakage, studies employing plants may be conducted in order to better understand the spatial extent and severity of the contamination.

Objective : A single balloon extrapedicular kyphoplasty has been introduced as one of the unilateral approaches for thoracic compression fractures; however, the unilateral extrapedicular technique in the lumbar area needs a further understanding of structures in the lumbar area. The purpose of the present study is to describe methods and pitfalls of this procedure based on the anatomy of the lumbar area and to analyze clinical outcome and complications. Methods : Anatomical evaluation was performed with 2 human cadavers. A retrospective review of unilateral extrapedicular approaches yielded 74 vertebral levels in 55 patients that were treated with unilateral extrapedicular vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Radiographic assessment included the restoration rate of vertebral height and correction of kyphosis. Results : Anatomical evaluation indicates that the safe needle entry zone of bone for the extrapedicular approach was located in the supero-lateral aspect of the junction between the pedicle and vertebral body. The unilateral extrapedicular procedure achieved adequate pain relief with a mean decreases in pain severity of $7.25{\pm}1.5$ and $2.0{\pm}1.4$, respectively. Complications were 1 retroperitoneal hematoma, 6 unilateral fillings and 3 epidural leak of the polymethylmethacrylate. Conclusion : The method of a unilateral extrapedicular approach in kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty in the lumbar area might be similar to that in thoracic approach using a route via the extrapedicular space. However, different anatomical characteristics of the lumbar area should be considered.

That's an attempt to study about knowledge, attitudes and practice of the residents with regard to maternal child health, family, planning, and tuberculosis in rural area which was chosen to be a demonstration area for nursing students of College of Nursing, Yonsei University for their public health nursing practice. In addition, it is designed to collect information on population of the area such as age and sex distribution, mobility, and other characteristics also be sought by doing a census. The purpose of study is to obtain data which are needed for planning student learning experiences in the community. The information which was obtainable through this study is as follows; 1. In demographic aspect a. Population structure was a typical rural type in terms of population pyramid. b. Distribution of age and sex of residents showed more female in the older ages. c. Population has not moved much. Majority of them have been living in the area since their births. 2. In sociological aspect a. The level of education of female was comparatively lower than male. b. The residents of the area did not have any special religion. c. The economic status was found low or middle class. 3. In health practice In general health knowledge, attitudes and practice appeared to be poor. As a result of this study, it could be summararized that there are a great public health nursing needs in the community. According to these needs found and to it's nature, severity and massiveness, the nurse instructors with students were able to set up a priority system in services. Meanwhile student case load can be logically figured out in consideration of variety of experiences need for each student. The study helped student not only to find out resident characteristics and their health problems in terms of family and community problem but also to provide a good learning experience by participating in the interviewing. In sum this type of study is necessary for planning of student field experience when no data are available where students are going to have field experiences in public health nursing.

Millions of People die every year from diseases caused by exposure to outdoor air pollution. Especially, one of the most severe types of air pollution is fine particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5). South Korea also has been suffered from severe PM. This paper analyzes regional risks induced by PM10 and PM2.5 that have affected domestic area of Korea during 2014~2016.3Q. We investigated daily maxima of PM10 and PM2.5 data observed on 284 stations in South Korea, and found extremely high outlier. We employed extreme value distributions to fit the PM10 and PM2.5 data, but a single distribution did not fit the data well. For theses reasons, we implemented extreme mixture models such as the generalized Pareto distribution(GPD) with the normal, the gamma, the Weibull and the log-normal, respectively. Next, we divided the whole area into 16 regions and analyzed characteristics of PM risks by developing the FN-curves. Finally, we estimated 1-month, 1-quater, half year, 1-year and 3-years period return levels, respectively. The severity rankings of PM10 and PM2.5 concentration turned out to be different from region to region. The capital area revealed the worst PM risk in all seasons. The reason for high PM risk even in the yellow dust free season (Jun. ~ Sep.) can be inferred from the concentration of factories in this area. Gwangju showed the highest return level of PM2.5, even if the return level of PM10 was relatively low. This phenomenon implies that we should investigate chemical mechanisms for making PM2.5 in the vicinity of Gwangju area. On the other hand, Gyeongbuk and Ulsan exposed relatively high PM10 risk and low PM2.5 risk. This indicates that the management policy of PM risk in the west side should be different from that in the east side. The results of this research may provide insights for managing regional risks induced by PM10 and PM2.5 in South Korea.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a correlation between the type and stability of intertrochanteric fractures caused by low-energy trauma and gluteus muscle volume. Materials and Methods: A total of 205 elderly (>65 years) patients with intertrochanteric fractures caused by low-energy trauma treated from January 2018 to December 2020 were included in this study. The mean age of patients was 81.24 years (range, 65-100 years). Fractures were classified according to the Jensen modification of the Evans classification. The cross-sectional area of the contralateral gluteus muscle (minimus, medius, and maximus) was measured in preoperative axial computed tomography slices. An analysis and comparison of age, body mass index (BMI), weight, height, and the gluteus muscle area in each fracture type group was performed. Results: In the uni-variable analysis, statistically significant taller height was observed in patients in the stable intertrochanteric fracture (modified Evans 1 and 2) group compared with those in the unstable intertrochanteric fracture (modified Evans 3, 4, and 5) group (P<0.05). In addition, significantly higher BMI-adjusted gluteus muscle area (gluteus muscle area/BMI) was observed for the stable intertrochanteric fracture group compared with the unstable intertrochanteric fracture group except for the BMI-adjusted gluteus minimus area (P=0.112). In multivariable analysis, only the BMI-adjusted gluteus maximus (P=0.042) and total gluteus areas (P=0.035) were significantly higher in the stable group. Conclusion: Gluteal muscularity around the hip, especially the gluteus maximus, had a significant effect on the stability of intertrochanteric fractures.

본 연구는 교통정온화(Traffic Calming)기법 적용시 고려되어야 할 평가지표들을 개발하고 이를 토대로 교통정온화 기법 평가시 주요하게 고려되어야 할 지표들을 AHP분석을 통하여 그 중요도를 분석하였다. 본 연구에 대한 결과를 요약해보면 다음과 같다. 주거지역과 상업지역 모두 교통정온화의 대분류의 가중치는 주거지역, 상업지역 모두 안전측면을 가장 중시하고 있음을 알 수 있었고, 주거지역과 상업지역 모두 공통으로 자동차 평균주행속도, 보차분리정도, 교통사고 심각도 순으로 도출되었다. 주거지역에서는 제한속도 보다 낮은 속도라 해도 주택가에서는 전반적인 평균속도가 보행약자의 안전을 지킬 수 있을 것이라 사료되기 때문에 '자동차 평균 주행속도'가 주요한 지표로 도출되었으며, 상업지역에서는 특성상 많은 보행량 때문에 '보차분리정도'의 중요도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 평가지표를 사례지에 적용해본 결과 교통정온화는 주거지역에 적용하였을 경우, 그 효과는 상업지역에 적용하였을 때 보다 상대적으로 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 교통정온화 기법을 적용시 또는 정온화기법의 평가 시에 기초적인 자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to examine the therapeutic compliance and its related factors in the rural hypertensives. Method : A questionnaire survey and blood pressure measurement were performed to 3,876 residents of a rural area, and 660 hypertensives were selected as subjects of study. The study employed a hypothetical model which was composed of constructs from the health belief model and KAP model. The analysis techniques employed included contingency table analysis and structural equation modeling. Result : The proportion of those who were compliant to the treatment of hypertension was 44.2% of subjects. As the result of structural equation modeling, when patients had more favorable attitude toward treatment, higher perceived benefit, or lower perceived barriers to treatment, the therapeutic compliance was significantly higher(T>2.0). When patients had more knowledge about hypertension, or higher perceived severity of hypertension, the attitude toward the treatment of hypertension was more favorable significantly(T>2.0). And when patients had the support for treatment from family or neighbor, the attitude toward treatment was more favorable(T>2.0). When patients had experience of health education, they had more knowledge, higher perceived susceptibility of complication, perceived severity for hypertension, and perceived benefit of treatment, compare to patients without health education(T>2.0). Conclusion : In consideration of above findings, in order to improve the therapeutic compliance in the rural hypertensives, it would be necessary to change attitude, perception, knowledge about hypertension and its treatment, by various methods such as effective health education and programs for maintaining the supportive environment for hypertension treatment.

Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines에 의해 발병되는 콩 불마름병은 콩에 가장 많이 발생하는 중요한 세균성 병해 중 하나로 콩 수량에 심각한 손실을 가져온다. 본 연구는 불마름병 병반면적률에 따른 수량예측모델을 개발하기 위해 수행되었다. 이번 실험의 결과 불마름병이 심하게 발병된 처리구의 경우 수량이 19.8%(2006년), 16.8% (2007년) 감소되는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 발병률의 차이에 따라 100립중 및 수량은 영향을 받으나 경장, 분지수, 협수, 립수는 유의성있는 차이를 나타내지 못하였다. 즉 수량구성요소 중 100립중의 감소가 수량감소에 직접적인 영향을 주는 것으로 조사되었다. 2006년도와 2007년도의 연차별 콩 불마름병 병반면적률과 수량과의 상관관계를 5% 유의수준에서 분석한 결과, -0.93(06년), -0.77(07년) 부의상관이 있었으며, 회귀식은 각각 y = -3.2914x + 348.19 ($R^2$= 0.8603), y = -2.9671x + 302.08 ($R^2$= 0.9411)로 나타낼 수 있었다. 이런 결과들은 포장에서 불마름병 발병에 따른 수량손실을 평가하고 콩 생산량을 예측하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 생각한다.
