In this study, the hydrological changes due to urbanization were investigated and fundamental theory and characteristics of typical urban runoff model such as CHICAGO Model was studied. Above model was applied for urbanizing Dongsucheon basin, Incheon. The main parameters(CI, CP, CS) which are included in this model depending on runoff results were determined, and dimensionless values such as total runoff ratio($Q_{TR}$), peak runoff ratio($Q_{PR}$), and runoff sensitivity ratio($Q_{SR}=Q_{TR}/Q_{PR}$) were estimated in order to evaluate and compare the characteristics of model based on relative sensitivity analysis. Finally, applied model was proposed based on understanding of work types and established urban runoff models which can simulate well for areal development patterns and urban river basin.

In this paper, the application of magnetoelasticity in static tension monitoring for large steel cables is discussed. Magnetoelastic (EM) stress sensors make contact-free tension monitoring possible for hanger cables and post-tensioned cables on suspension and cable-stayed bridges. By quantifying the correlation of magnetic relative permeability with tension and temperature, the EM sensors inspect the load levels in the steel cables. Cable tension monitoring on Qiangjiang (QJ) 4th Bridge demonstrates the reliability of the EM sensors.

This paper offers new ways to learn about popular places in the city. Using locational data from Social Media platforms platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, along with participatory field visits and combining insights from architecture and urban design literature, this study reveals popular socio-spatial clusters in the City of Chicago. Locational data of photographs were visualized by using Geographic Information Systems and helped in producing heat maps that showed the spatial distribution of posted photographs. Geo-intensity of photographs illustrated areas that are most popularly visited in the city. The study's results indicate that the city's skyscrapers along open spaces are major elements of image formation. Findings also elucidate that Social Media plays an important role in promoting places; and thereby, sustaining a greater interest and stream of visitors. Consequently, planners should tap into public's digital engagement in city places to improve tourism and economy.

Occupational lung diseases (OLD) are a group of preventable conditions caused by noxious inhalation exposure in the workplace. Workers in various industries are at a higher risk of developing OLD. Despite regulations contributing to a decreased incidence, OLD remain among the most frequently diagnosed work-related conditions, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. A multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) is necessary for a timely diagnosis. Imaging, particularly computed tomography, plays a central role in diagnosing OLD and excluding other inhalational lung diseases. OLD can be broadly classified into fibrotic and non-fibrotic forms. Imaging reflects variable degrees of inflammation and fibrosis involving the airways, parenchyma, and pleura. Common manifestations include classical pneumoconioses, chronic granulomatous diseases (CGD), and small and large airway diseases. Imaging is influenced by the type of inciting exposure. The findings of airway disease may be subtle or solely uncovered upon expiration. High-resolution chest CT, including expiratory-phase imaging, should be performed in all patients with suspected OLD. Radiologists should familiarize themselves with these imaging features to improve diagnostic accuracy.

An estimated 250 million people worldwide suffer from lymphedema. In the past, the first-line option for treatment was nonsurgical management, either in the form of compression garments or wrapping, or comprehensive decongestive therapy, with debulking surgery reserved for the more advanced cases. However, with improvements in microsurgical techniques and imaging modalities, surgical intervention is increasingly being utilized. This review highlights recent advancements in the surgical treatment of lymphedema, specifically focusing on improvements in imaging, surgical techniques, and prevention of lymphedema.

시카고협약 일부 체약국은 자국 항공사에게 AOC(AOC and Operations Specifications)을 승인하여 발행하는 것 이외에 외국 항공사에게도 FAOC(Foreign AOC and Operations Specifications)을 발행하고 있으며 다양한 항공안전평가도 실시하고 있다. 외국 항공사에게 FAOC 승인 발행 및 항공안전평가 실시는 점차 확대되고 있는 추세로 전 세계적으로 항공안전 증진 및 항공기 사고율 감소에 기여한 공로가 크다고 볼 수 있으나, 한편으로는 승인 및 지적사항에 대한 적법성 논란 및 행정 편의를 표방하는 대표적 사례라는 지탄과 함께 감독 당국의 업무수행 능력 차이로 인하여 항공기 운항 상 불편이 초래되고 있다. 항공기 사고방지 및 효율적인 항공기 운항을 위하여 항공 안전 확보는 가장 중요한 요소 중의 하나로 타협할 수 있는 사항이 아니며, 따라서 국제항공사회는 ICAO에서 시카고협약부속서 19 Safety Management를 별도로 제정하여 2013년 말부터 적용하도록 하였다. 국제 항공 질서 확립 및 항공 안전 확보를 위하여 시카고협약 및 부속서는 체약국의 의무 및 '국제표준 및 권고방식(SARPs, Standards and Recommended Practices)'을 규정하고 있으며 각 체약국은 SARPs에 합당한 이행의무를 준수해야 한다. 이와 관련하여 각 체약국은 항공사의 안전운항체계를 확인하고 AOC를 승인하여 발행하며 지속적으로 관리감독 업무를 수행하고 있다. 이러한 AOC 승인 발행에 대한 ICAO 국제 표준은 체약국의 항공당국이 자국의 항공사를 대상으로 허가 및 교부하는 것으로 체약국을 운항하는 외국의 항공사에게까지 발급하도록 규정하고 있지 않으나 미국, 중국, 호주, 뉴질랜드, 몽골 등 일부 체약국은 자국 내 항공사에게 AOC 발행 뿐 아니라 외국의 항공사에게도 AOC(FAOC)를 인가하여 교부하고 있으며 이는 EASA 등으로 확대되고 있는 실정이다. AOC나 FAOC 이외에도 ICAO와 IATA는 항공당국 및 항공사 전반에 대한 항공안전평가가 있으며, 미국 및 유럽도 자국 및 회원국 등을 운항하는 외국 항공 당국 및 항공사에 대한 항공안전평가를 별도로 실시하고 그 평가 결과를 공표하면서 항공 안전 불합격으로 평가된 국가나 항공사에게는 운항 제한 등 불이익을 주고 있다. 이와 관련하여 본 논문에서는 AOC, FAOC 및 항공안전평가제도의 법적 근거 및 동향을 고찰하고 조종사비행기록부 탑재여부 등에 대한 국제 사례연구를 통하여 몇 가지 제언과 개선방안을 제시하였다. 본 논문이 현 제도의 미흡한 부분을 보완하고 불합리한 제한기준이 개선되는데 도움을 주고, 아울러 국제 표준 준수 및 항공안전 발전에 기여하길 기대한다. 항공법규 관련 합리적인 기준 수립 및 이행에 있어 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나는 시카고협약 및 SARPs에 대한 철저한 이해가 선행되어야 한다는 것이다. 법규 제정자, 연구기관, 전문가, 운영자 등 모든 관계자들의 긴밀한 협조 하에 기준 수립이 이루어질 때 항공법규 수립 및 이행에 대한 보다 실질적인 개선 및 질적 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: From the holistic environmental perspective, individual and environmental influences on low-income children's questionable development were identified and examined as to differences in the influences according to the child's developmental stage of infancy (age 0-35 months) or early childhood (age 36-71 months). Methods: This study was a cross-sectional comparative design using negative binominal regression analysis to identify predictors of questionable development separately for each developmental stage. The sample was comprised of 952 children (357 in infancy and 495 in early childhood) from low-income families in South Korea. Predictors included individual factors: child's age and gender; proximal environmental influences: family factors (family health conditions, primary caregiver, child-caregiver relationship, depression in primary caregiver) and institution factors (daycare enrollment, days per week in daycare); and distal environmental influences: income/resources factors (family income, personal resources and social resources); and community factors (perceived child-rearing environment). The outcome variable was questionable development. Results: Significant contributors to questionable development in the infancy group were age, family health conditions, and personal resources; in the early childhood group, significant contributors were gender, family health conditions, grandparent as a primary caregiver, child-caregiver relationships, daycare enrollment, and personal resources. Conclusion: Factors influencing children's questionable development may vary by developmental stage. It is important to consider differences in individual and environmental influences when developing targeted interventions to ensure that children attain their optimal developmental goals at each developmental stage. Understanding this may lead nursing professionals to design more effective preventive interventions for low-income children.

Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses (GWI) encompasses a broad range of unexplained symptomology specific to Veterans of the Persian Gulf War. Gastrointestinal (GI) distress is prominent in veterans with GWI and often presents as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Neurotoxins, including organophosphorus pesticides and sarin gas, are believed to have contributed to the development of GWI, at least in a subset of Veterans. However, the effects of such agents have not been extensively studied for their potential impact to GI disorders and immunological stability. Here we utilized an established murine model of GWI to investigate deleterious effects of diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) exposure on the mucosal epithelium in vivo and in vitro. In vivo, acute DFP exposure negatively impacts the mucosal epithelium by reducing tight junction proteins and antimicrobial peptides as well as altering intestinal microbiome composition. Furthermore, DFP treatment reduced the expression of IL-17 in the colonic epithelium. Conversely, both IL-17 and IL-17C treatment could combat the negative effects of DFP and other cholinesterase inhibitors in murine intestinal organoid cells. Our findings demonstrate that acute exposure to DFP can result in rapid deterioration of mechanisms protecting the GI tract from disease. These results are relevant to suspected GWI exposures and could help explain the propensity for GI disorders in GWI Veterans.
