본 연구에서는 그동안 해외에서 주로 실행되어 왔던 빅데이터를 이용한 다양한 질병(독감, 폐렴, 수족구병) 환자수 예측 모델을 개발해 보았다. 기존의 환자수 예측이 병원에서 실제 환자수를 카운팅한 수를 수집하여 발표하는 시스템이라면, 이번에 개발한 연구 모델은 실시간으로 제공되는 질병 관련 단어 및 다양한 기후 데이터를 접목하여 기계학습 방법으로 알고리즘을 만들고, 이를 기반으로 정부에서 발표하기 전 환자수를 예측하는 모델이다. 특히 유행성 질병이 빠르게 확산될 경우, 실시간으로 전파 속도를 파악할 수 있다는 점에서 그 장점이 있다. 이를 위하여 구글 플루 트렌드에서 실패한 부분을 최대한 보완하여 다양한 데이터를 활용한 예측 모델을 개발하였다.

In Pleurotus sp., green mold, which is considered a major epidemic, is caused by several Trichoderma species. To develop a rapid molecular marker specific for Trichoderma spp. that potentially cause green mold, eleven Trichoderma species were collected from mushroom farms and the Korean Agricultural Culture Collection (KACC). A dominant fungal isolate from a green mold-infected substrate was identified as Trichoderma pleuroticola based on the sequences of its internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1) genes. In artificial inoculation tests, all Trichoderma spp., including T. atroviride, T. cf. virens, T. citrinoviride, T. harzianum, T. koningii, T. longibrachiatum, T. pleurotum, and T. pleuroticola, showed pathogenicity to some extent, and the observed symptoms were soaked mycelia with a red-brown pigment and retarded mycelium regeneration. A molecular marker was developed for the rapid detection of wide range of Trichoderma spp. based on the DNA sequence alignment of the ITS1 and ITS2 regions of Trichoderma spp. The developed primer set detected only Trichoderma spp., and no cross reactivity with edible mushrooms was observed. The detection limits for the PCR assay of T. harzianum (KACC40558), T. pleurotum (KACC44537), and T. pleuroticola (CAF-TP3) were found to be 500, 50, and 5 fg, respectively, and the detection limit for the pathogen-to-host ratio was approximately 1:10,000 (wt/wt).

일반적으로, 공간 도메인의 공간자료는 지형적인 현상을 도형적으로 표현하고 비공간 도메인의 속성자료는 공간 자료의 특징을 서술적으로 설명한다. GIS에서 속성자료를 이용한 분석은 조건을 이용한 검색이나 통계분석에 제한적으로 활용되고 있다. 최근 소셜 네트워크 분석의 그래프 모델링 및 네트워크 분석기법은 인문 사회적 현상을 분석하는데 사용되고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 이러한 네트워크 분석기법을 GIS의 비공간적인 속성자료 처리에 적용하여 분석기능을 다양하게 하였다. 또한, 공간 데이터베이스와 그래프 데이터베이스를 이용하여 GIS 공간분석과 비공간적 네트워크 분석의 통합분석 방법을 설계하였고, 이를 WebGIS를 구현하여 보다 효과적인 의사결정을 가능하도록 하였다. 구현된 WebGIS를 상수도 보급 대상 가구 선정 업무와 구제역 질병의 2차 전파 분석 업무에 적용하여 실험 및 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 구현된 시스템의 통합 분석을 통해 공간적인 요인 및 사회적 친밀도와 같은 비공간적인 요인을 고려한 방역을 제시하였으며, 이는 질병 전파의 효과적인 차단에 기여할 것으로 판단한다.

구제역과 같은 가축 전염병은 강한 전염력으로 인해 막대한 경제적 손실을 초래하고 있다. 가축의 전염성 질병은 조기 감지가 매우 중요하나, 개별 농가에서 조기 진단이 어렵고, 수의사나 사료 공급 차량 등의 농장간 이동을 통해서 전파되는 사례도 빈번하다. 본 연구에서는 발병 초기단계에서 유비쿼터스 기반의 정보통신기술을 이용하여 가축의 체온을 자동으로 모니터링 하여 실시간 전송함으로써 수의사의 농장방문 없이 빠른 진단이 가능하고 추가 확산을 방지하는 기술을 연구하였다. 자동으로 수집된 정보와 연계된 원격진료시스템을 활용하여 농장단위, 지역단위, 국가단위에서 가축전염병을 커뮤니티 매핑 기법을 이용하여 체계적으로 관리하는 기술을 제시하였다. 이 과정에서 사용자 참여형 공간정보기술 적용을 위한 각 단계별, 주체별 커뮤니티 매핑 항목을 도출하였다.

Annual epidemics of seasonal influenza occur during autumn and winter in temperate regions and have imposed substantial public health and economic burdens. At the global level, these epidemics cause about 3-5 million severe cases of illness and about 0.25-0.5 million deaths each year. Although annual vaccination is the most effective way to prevent the disease and its severe outcomes, influenza vaccination coverage rates have been at suboptimal levels in many countries. For instance, the coverage rates among the elderly in 20 developed nations in 2008 ranged from 21% to 78% (median 65%). In the U.S., influenza vaccination levels among elderly population appeared to reach a "plateau" of about 70% after the late 1990s, and levels among child populations have remained at less than 50%. In addition, disparities in the coverage rates across subpopulations within a country present another important public health issue. New approaches are needed for countries striving both to improve their overall coverage rates and to eliminate disparities. This review article aims to describe a broad conceptual framework of vaccination, and to illustrate four potential determinants of influenza vaccination based on empirical analyses of U.S. nationally representative populations. These determinants include the ongoing influenza epidemic level, mass media reporting on influenza-related topics, reimbursement rate for providers to administer influenza vaccination, and vaccine supply. It additionally proposes specific policy implications, derived from these empirical analyses, to improve the influenza vaccination coverage rate and associated disparities in the U.S., which could be generalizable to other countries.

Korean society is experiencing an increase in multicultural families and single households. The incidence of the MERS, epidemic in 2015, and the subsequent cases of child abuse have been major shocks to Korean society. In addition, there has been a steady increase in household debt, that is in danger of causing a serious crisis in the stability of our society and the family. The current demand for increased accountability in the democratic process is becoming an important topic. There is also an increased awareness of natural disaster preparation due to local earthquakes that have caused concern. At this point, the lifelong education in the home economics education field in Korea is in line with the changes and crises of various societies. Problems related to family life that have happened in the real life of learners stand in the place of the study with preventive character. It should provide the best alternative for family, home, and society, and help to overcome the problems of life. In order for lifelong education to respond to these social changes $vis-{\grave{a}}-vis$ Home Economics Education, it is necessary to develop: 'formation and improvement education of family relationship', 'crisis prevention and management coping ability training', 'safety education', 'learning communication and consensus processes', 'consumer culture education', 'ethics education on environment and resources', 'sustainability education', 'local education of family relationship', 'crisis prevention and management coping ability training', 'safety education', 'learning communication and consensus processes', 'consumer culture education', 'ethics education on environment and resources', 'sustainability education', 'local economic activation education', and other topics of lifelong education topics related to the field of Home Economics Education are required. Consequently, various related programs should be further developed and disseminated.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify patients' dissatisfaction with health care through a content analysis of newspaper articles published between 1990 and 2015. It focused on developing a systematic coding scheme for content analysis as well as exploring changes over time. Methods: Among articles published by 8 major national newspapers, our content analysis used those that specifically covered the dissatisfaction of patients. Coding taxonomy was developed in two domains: (1) contents of dissatisfaction and (2) special circumstances and groups where complaints were filed. All articles were then coded according to this coding taxonomy to conduct descriptive analysis. Results: A total of 794 complaints were discovered in 338 articles. Contents of dissatisfaction were classified into 7 categories and 50 subcategories. Complaints regarding accessibility, technical care, and administration were noticeable in special circumstances, including strikes and spread of epidemic diseases, whereas complaints on interpersonal care and cost were prominent in general population and circumstances. When comparing the proportion of articles covering patient dissatisfaction in general population/circumstances between 1990-2000 and 2001-2015, complaints on administration and physical environment diminished over time, whereas complaints on outcome of health care increased. Conclusion: This study offers a rare window to view the responsiveness of the Korean health care system on a long time horizon.

HPAI (High pathogenic avian influenza) which is a disease legally designated as an epidemic generally shows rapid spread of disease resulting in high mortality rate as well as severe economic damages. Because Korea is contiguous with China and southeast Asia where HPAI have occurred frequently, there is a high risk for HPAI outbreak. A prompt treatment against epidemics is most important for prevention of disease spread. The spread of HPAI should be considered by both direct and indirect contact as well as various spread factors including airborne spread. There are high risk of rapid propagation of HPAI flowing through the air because of collective farms mostly in Korea. Field experiments for the mechanism of disease spread have limitations such as unstable weather condition and difficulties in maintaining experimental conditions. In this study, therefore, computational fluid dynamics which has been actively used for mass transfer modeling were adapted. Korea has complex terrains and many livestock farms are located in the mountain regions. GIS numerical map was used to estimate spreads of virus attached aerosol by means of designing three dimensional complicated geometry including farm location, road network, related facilities. This can be used as back data in order to take preventive measures against HPAI occurrence and spread.

Rice stripe virus (RSV) is one of serious epidemic pathogens for rice species grown in many Asian countries. Therefore, it is necessary to produce a diagnostic detection kit applicable in fields for RSV detection. In this study, RSV proteins that were derived from recombinant proteins and synthetic polypeptides as antigens were generated and were raised in rabbits for antiserum production. Among seven proteins in RSV, genes that code for NCP and NS3 proteins were cloned and subcloned into vector carrying His-tag protein and were expressed in E. coli. Of two recombinant proteins, only anti-NCP displayed stable hybridization signals in western blot analysis. Alternately, synthetic RSV polypeptides for CP, NCP, NS3 and NSvc4 we also generated and only antibodies against CP and NCP were very effective to detect RSV in both RSV infected rice and weed plants. However, antibodies against NS3 and NSvc4 showed weak specific bands as well as strong non-specific background due to the difference of viral proteins produced in the infected leaves. In summary, the antibodies generated against RSV proteins produced in this study will be useful for various assays such as for RSV diagnostic detection, immunoprecipitation, protein purification, and western blot analysis.
