Although researches have highlighted the important role of enhanced farm biosecurity to reduce the severity and prevalence of diseases in livestock, to date there has been little study in Korea on farmers' adoption of biosecurity measures to control porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection. To mitigate the risk of PRRSV infection in pigs, the risk factors by which PRRSV is introduced in pig farms must be determined. The primary aim of this study was to investigate pig producers' perceptions about on-farm biosecurity practices. We also analyzed data obtained from a cross-sectional study on 196 farrow-to-finish farms conducted between March 2013 and February 2014 to identify risk factors for PRRSV infection at farm level. Standardized questionnaires with information about basic demographical data and management practices were collected in each farm by on-site visit of trained veterinarians. Farms were classified as negative or positive through the use of infection profiles that combined data on PCR positive pigs and serological testing including antibody titer, sero-conversion pattern at each age category, and vaccination status. Data on biosecurity practices, farm management and environmental characteristics were analyzed using multivariate ordinal logistic regression. Generally, the biosecurity level in the pig farms included in this study were insufficient to reduce/prevent the risk of PRRSV infection given the high pig density areas and the considerable extent of vehicle movement. Factors associated with PRRSV infection were those where owners used on-farm vaccination programs had a lower risk of infection (OR = 0.19, 95% CI 0.06-0.61). The results from the analysis may guide to tailor biosecurity measures in the reduction or prevention of PRRS to the specific circumstances of pig farms in different localities of the world. To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first study to report information on the biosecurity practices currently implemented on Korean pig farms.

Purpose - This paper research on the embodied carbon emission in Sino-Korea trade. It calculates and analyzes the carbon emission coefficient and specific carbon emissions in Sino-Korea trade from 2005 to 2014. Design/methodology - This paper conducted an empirical analysis for embodied carbon emission in Sino-Korea trade during the years 2005-2014, using a multi-region input-output model. First, direct and complete CO2 emission coefficient of the two countries were calculated and compared. On this basis, combined with the world input-output table, the annual import and export volume and sector volume of embodied carbon emission are determined. Then through the comparative analysis of the empirical results, the reasons for the carbon imbalance in Sino-Korea trade are clarified, and the corresponding suggestions are put forward according to the environmental protection policies being implemented by the two countries. Findings - The results show that South Korea is in the state of net trade export and net embodied carbon import. The carbon emission coefficient of most sectors in South Korea is lower than that of China. However, the reduction of carbon emission coefficient in China is significantly faster than that in South Korea in this decade. The change of Korea's complete CO2 emission coefficient shows that policy factors have a great impact on environmental protection. The proportion of intra industry trade between China and South Korea is relatively large and concentrated in mechanical and electrical products, chemical products, etc. These sectors generally have large carbon emissions, which need to be noticed by both countries. Originality/value - To the best knowledge of the authors, this study is the first attempt to research the embodied carbon emission of ten consecutive years in Sino-Korea Trade. In addition, In this paper, some mathematical methods are used to overcome the error problem caused by different statistical caliber in different databases. Finally, the accurate measurement of carbon level in bilateral trade will provide some reference for trade development and environmental protection.

Individual genetic susceptibilities to cancers may result from several factors including differences in xenobiotics metabolism to chemical carcinogens, DNA repair, altered oncogenes and suppressor genes, and environmental carcinogen exposures. Among them, genetic polymorphisms of metabolizing enzymes to chemical carcinogens have been recognized as a major important host factors in human cancers. They have two main types of enzymes: the phase I cytochrome P-450 mediating enzymes (CYPs) and phase II conjugating enzymes. The purpose of this study is to determine the frequencies of genotypes of phase I (CYP1A1 and CYP2E1) and phase II (NAT2) metabolizing enzymes in healthy control and head and neck cancer patients of Korean and to identify the relative high risk genotypes of these metabolizing enzymes to head and neck cancer in Korean. The author has analyzed 132 head and neck cancer patients and 113 healthy controls using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The results were as following; 1. The frequencies of genotypes of CYP1A1, CYP2E1 and NAT2 in healthy control were as following; CYP1A1 exon 7 polymorphism; Ile/Ile: Ile/Val: Val/Val = 59.3%: 36.3%: 4.4% CYP2E1 Pst I polymorphism, C1/C1: C1/C2: C2/C2 = 61.1%: 32.1%: 6.2% NAT2 polymorphism; F/F: F/S: S/S = 43.4%: 48.7%: 8.0% 2. In analysis of phase I enzyme, Val/Val genotype in CYP1A1 exon 7 polymorphism and C2/C2 genotype in CYP2E1 Pst I polymorphism were associated with relative high risks to head and neck cancers (Odds' ratio: 2.09 and 1.37, respectively). 3. Among the genotypes of NAT2 enzyme polymorphism, S/S genotype of NAT2 enzyme had 1.03 times of relative risk to head and neck cancers. 4. In combined genotyping of CYP1A1, CYP2E1, and NAT2 enzymes polymorphisms, the patients with Val/Val and C1/C1, C2/C2 and fast acetylator, and Val/Val and fast acetylator had higher relative risks than the patients with each baseline of combined genotypes (Odds' ratio: 2.82, 1.98 and 2.1, respectively). These results suggest the combined genotypes of Val/Val and C1/C1, C2/C2 and fast acetylator, and Val/Val and fast acetylator were more susceptible to head and neck cancers in Korean. And genotyping of metabolizing enzymes could be useful for predicting individual susceptibility to head and neck cancer.

Background: In this study, we investigate the rapid increase in environmental odors and notable rise in civil complaints near Dorim Stream in the Gwanak-gu area of Seoul. Objectives: This study aims to identify the causal compounds responsible for environmental odors in the Dorim Stream and investigate the structural characteristics of the stream that influence odor generation. Methods: The research methodology involved setting up 41 sampling points, selecting panels for direct sensory evaluation to assess odor intensity, measuring dissolved oxygen and hydrogen sulfide concentrations, and using all-in-one low-temperature desorption gas chromatography (ATD-GC) and thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC/MS) analysis to identify odor-causing compounds. Results: The evaluation of Dorim Stream revealed that in areas with complete meandering, there were lower dissolved oxygen levels (4.5±2.67 mg/L) and higher odor intensity (4.0±0.92), while in partially meandering sections, higher dissolved oxygen levels (7.8±1.15 mg/L) and lower odor intensity (2.8±1.06) were observed. Hydrogen sulfide levels measured with sensors increased with higher temperatures, especially in the afternoon hours (12:00~14:00). Acetaldehyde was the dominant odor compound detected in both the Bonglim Bridge (0.4 ppm) area and Guro Bridge area (0.867 ppm), with concentrations more than twice as high near Guro Bridge. Odor-causing compounds identified by TD-GC/MS indicated a pungent, sulfurous odor in the Guro Bridge area and a musty odor in the Bonglim Bridge area. Conclusions: This study categorizes and analyzes the sources of odor in Dorim Stream in Seoul based on meandering patterns and the distribution of sewage facilities, highlighting the potential odor issues associated with combined sewage systems and sewer junctions and suggesting policy improvements.

지하저장탱크에서 누출된 유기화합물은 인근의 토양과 지하수를 오염시키고 있다. 지하저장탱크를 관리하기 위해서는 탱크로 인한 환경 위해가능성을 파악할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하저장탱크의 상대적 위해성을 추정할 수 있는 예비평가체계를 구축하였다. 지하저장탱크에 대한 위해성 예비평가체계를 평가인자의 선정, 평가인자의 계층구조화, 평가인자별 가중치 설정, 위해가능성 총점수 산정, 위해성평가 등 다섯 단계로 구성하였다. 구축된 예비평가체계를 서울시 관악구 소재 주유소에 적용하였고, 지리정보시스템을 이용하여 평가한 결과, 사례지역의 주유소는 위해가능성에 따라 세가지로 분류되는데 상대적으로 위해성이 높은 7개소의 주유소가 파악되었다. 또한 민감도 분석을 통하여 가중치 변화에 영향을 받지 않고 위해성이 높게 나타나는 4개소의 주유소를 파악하였다. 본 평가체계는 계층구조와 쌍대비교에 의한 가중치설정기법을 도입하였으므로 사용자가 자신의 전문적인 경험에 따라 본 평가체계를 유연하게 적용할 수 있을 것이다. 하지만 앞으로 현장조사결과와 비교하여 평가체계를 검증하고 갱신하는 작업이 수행되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 안성시($520km^2$)를 대상으로 Logistic 회귀분석 방법과 AHP 기법을 이용하여, GIS와 RS 자료를 활용한 산사태 위험지를 분석하였다. Logistic 회귀분석과 AHP 기법에는 6개의 인자(경사, 경사향, 고도, 토양배수, 토심, 토지이용)를 사용하여, 7등급으로 산사태 위험도를 분류하였다. Logistic 회귀분석 방법과 AHP 기법을 이용한 산사태 위험지도를 표본 자료와 비교하면 산사태가 발생한 표본에서 산사태 위험성이 높은(1-2등급)지역이 Logistic 회귀분석에서는 46.1% AHP 기법은 48.7%로 분류되어 AHP 기법이 분류도가 높다고 분석되었다. Logistic 회귀분석과 AHP 기법은 서로 분석 과정의 차이를 가지고 있기 때문에 Logistic 회귀분석과 AHP기법을 적용한 결과에 동일 가중치를 부여한 후 7개 등급으로 재분류(reclass)하여 산사태 위험지역을 추출할 수 있는 방법론을 본 연구에서 제시하였다. 그 결과 산사태가 발생한 표본에서 1-2 등급지역이 58.9%로 분석되어 분류정확도를 높일 수 있었다.

Objective: This study was conducted to develop a chemical oxygen demand (COD) regression model using water quality monitoring data (January, 2014) obtained from the Han River auto-monitoring stations. Methods: Surface water quality data at 198 sampling stations along the six major areas were assembled and analyzed to determine the spatial distribution and clustering of monitoring stations based on 18 WQPs and regression modeling using selected parameters. Statistical techniques, including combined genetic algorithm-multiple linear regression (GA-MLR), cluster analysis (CA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to build a COD model using water quality data. Results: A best GA-MLR model facilitated computing the WQPs for a 5-descriptor COD model with satisfactory statistical results ($r^2=92.64$,$Q{^2}_{LOO}=91.45$,$Q{^2}_{Ext}=88.17$). This approach includes variable selection of the WQPs in order to find the most important factors affecting water quality. Additionally, ordination techniques like PCA and CA were used to classify monitoring stations. The biplot based on the first two principal components (PCs) of the PCA model identified three distinct groups of stations, but also differs with respect to the correlation with WQPs, which enables better interpretation of the water quality characteristics at particular stations as of January 2014. Conclusion: This data analysis procedure appears to provide an efficient means of modelling water quality by interpreting and defining its most essential variables, such as TOC and BOD. The water parameters selected in a COD model as most important in contributing to environmental health and water pollution can be utilized for the application of water quality management strategies. At present, the river is under threat of anthropogenic disturbances during festival periods, especially at upstream areas.

후정해수욕장의 모래 이동을 분석하기 위해 경험고유함수(Empirical Orthogonal Function; EOF) 분석법을 적용하였다. EOF 분석을 위해 2009년 6월부터 2010년 5월까지 13개 기선에 대해서 총 5회 실시된 후정해수욕장의 단면 관측값이 사용되었다. 13개 단면 분석결과 사이의 시간적, 물리적 일관성을 확보하기 위해 13개 기선 모두를 하나로 통합하고 이를 사용해 EOF 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 첫 번째 고유함수는 평균해빈 지형을 나타내었으며 두 번째와 세 번째 고유함수의 경우 해빈의 자연변동성과 파랑에 의해 발생된 횡방향 모래이동을 각각 나타내었다. 네 번째와 다섯 번째 고유함수의 경우 특별한 연관성을 발견할 수 없었다. 결론적으로 후정해수욕장의 모래 이동에 영향을 미치는 요인은 크기 순으로 자연변동성과 파랑에 의한 횡방향 모래이동으로 분석 되었다.
