The big data analysis has received much attention from the researchers working in various fields because the big data has a great potential in detecting or predicting future events such as epidemic outbreaks and changes in stock prices. Reflecting the current popularity of big data analysis, many authors have proposed methods tracking influenza epidemics based on internet-based information. The recently proposed 'autoregressive model using Google (ARGO) model' (Yang et al., 2015) is one of those influenza tracking models that harness search queries from Google as well as the reports from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and appears to outperform the existing method such as 'Google Flu Trends (GFT)'. Although the ARGO predicts well the outbreaks of influenza, this study demonstrates that a classical seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model can outperform the ARGO. The SARIMA model incorporates more accurate seasonality of the past influenza activities and takes less input variables into account. Our findings show that the SARIMA model is a functional tool for monitoring influenza epidemics.

다양한 종류의 메탈로센 촉매와 공촉매인 개질-MAO (MMAO)을 이용한 에틸렌 (E)과 노르보르넨 (N)의 공중합에서 중합조건이 촉매 활성 및 공중합체의 구조와 성질 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 즉 $C_2$-대칭구조를 가지는 rac-Et(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$, $M_2$Si(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$, M $e_2$Si-(Cp)$_2$ZrC $l_2$ 및 $C_{s}$-대칭구조를 가지는 iPr(FluCp)ZrC $l_2$, 그리고 constrained geometry catalyst (CGC)와 이중다리 (di-bridged) 지르코노센 둥의 다양한 메탈로센 촉매를 사용하여 [N]/[E] 공급비에 따른 촉매 활성, 공중합체 (COC)의 열적 성질 및 N 함량을 조사하였다. rac-Et(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$를 촉매로 사용한 경우에 공촉매의 몰비, 중합 온도 및 공촉매 종류 등의 중합조건을 조사한 결과 [Al]/[Zr]=3000, 4$0^{\circ}C$, MMAO 공촉매 등이 적합하였다. [N]/[E] 공급비가 증가됨에 따라 COC내의 N 함량이 증가하는 일반적인 경향을 보였으나, 촉매 활성은 사용된 메탈로센 촉매의 구조에 따라 달랐다. 즉 [N]/[E]가 증가할수록 $C_2$-대칭구조의 촉매 활성은 감소하였으나 $C_{s}$-대칭구조의 경우에는 증가하였다. 촉매활성과 N함량 등을 고려해 보면 rac-Et(Ind)$_2$ZrC $l_2$/MMAO계에서 비교적 높은 촉매 활성과 COC의 $T_{g}$제어가 용이한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 촉매종류에 따른 단량체의 반응성비를 Helen-Tudos 방법으로 구하였다.하였다.

The concentration levels and distribution characteristics of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated and evaluated for total 100 soil samples as a part of the survey on soil contamination in Gwangju. The results (median and range) of T-PAHs (sum of 16 PAH concentrations), C-PAHs (sum of carcinogenic PAH concentrations) and T-TEQs (sum of 16 TEQ concentrations) were 20.8 (7.6~1158.1), 2.2 (N.D~509.6), and 0.3 (N.D~424.6) ㎍/kg, respectively. There was a positive correlation between C-PAHs/T-PAHs and T-TEQs/T-PAHs except one point where the concentration of benzo(a)pyrene was high. The ratios of the C-PAHs/T-PAHs were 31.7% for low molecular weight-PAHs and 68.3% for high molecular weight-PAHs, suggesting that PAHs generation mainly arose from combustion sources. The ratio of isomers of individual PAHs, Phe/Ant, Flu/Pyr, Ant/(Ant+Phe), Flu/(Flu+Pyr), and BaA/(BaA+Chr), also confirmed the predominance of PAHs from combustion activities. Statistical tracing of the source of PAHs through principal component analysis indicated that the main sources of combustion were automobile fuel and coal. The overall results of this study suggested HMW-PAHs, T-PAHs, C-PAHs and T-TEQs should be separately evaluated to better assess the toxicity and environmental behavior of individual PAHs.

본 연구는 최근 코로나19의 등장으로 인해 재조명받고 있는 에피데믹 영화를 제재로 삼고 있다. 특히 국내의 재난 영화 속 '에피데믹 장르'는 <감기>, <부산행>, <연가시>가 대표작이라 할 수 있는데 이들의 흥행성적표는 제각기 달랐다. 본 연구자는 에피데믹 영화를 장르 영화의 한 관점이라 설정하고, 장르 영화의 3요소인 포뮬라, 컨벤션, 아이코노그래피 측면에서 세 가지 영화를 분석하고 이를 비교분석했다. 팬데믹 영화에서 중요한 요소는 '서스펜스의 지속', '에피데믹 설정의 모호화'를 통한 현실성의 제고였으며 향후 국내 에피데믹 영화가 국제 시장으로 진출하기 위해서는 지나친 사회적 요소는 배제해야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 마지막으로, 최근 코로나19 사태로 인해 주목받게 된 새로운 한국 영화의 장르인 '에피데믹 장르'를 통해 한국 영화 산업이 보다 깊이 있게 발전하길 바란다.

Korea has had problems with the price and supply of essential drugs such as Gleevec for leukemia, Fuzeon for HIV/AIDS, and Tamiflu for both avian flu and swine flu. The shortage or refusal of patented drugs supply is imposing a heavy burden in not only developing countries but also developed countries. Thinking over the serious results, we need to concern about the limited access to patented drugs by multinational drug companies' patent monopoly especially for pandemic and life threatening diseases. The effective response regarding to pandemic and life threatening diseases. The effective response regarding to pandemic situation requests collaborative and unbiased provisions of all countries in the world, however, sometimes patent monopoly may hinder the efforts. Compulsory licensing has been considered to be a useful alternative to the abuse of patent rights. However, the Korean experiences of compulsory licensing have left some controversial issues in connection with the availability of it in Korea. 'Flexibility' allowed in TRIPS and Doha Declaration has not come into effect in Korea for several reasons. Although the situation shows the limitations of compulsory licensing as a pharmaceutical supply policy, it is clear that compulsory licensing still has the possibilities of enhancing the access to medicines of all countries in need. Through searching the institutionalization process and experiments of compulsory licensing in Korea, this article explores the possibilities and the limits.

Background: This study was performed to investigate the epidemiologic and clinical features of acute respiratory viral infection in hospitalized children. Methods: From 2010 to 2012, we tested nasopharyngeal swab specimen in 1,584 hospitalized children with multiple real-time polymerase chain reactions to identify 10 kinds of respiratory viruses (including influenza virus A, B (FluA, FluB), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (MPV), adenovirus (AdV), human coronavirus (CoronaV), human enterovirus (HEV), human bocavirus (HBoV), parainfluenza virus (PIV), and human rhinovirus (Rhinovirus)). We analyzed the positive rate, annual and seasonal variations, and clinical features (respiratory tract and non-respiratory tract) according to the retrospective review of medical records. Results: Respiratory viruses were detected from 678 (42.8%) of 1,584 patients. The most common detected virus was RSV (35.0%), and then AdV (19.0%), HEV (18.1%). The critical period of the respiratory viral infection was during the first 12 months of a child's life. PIV increased by 8.4%, 12.1%, and 21.1% annually. Bronchiolitis was most frequently caused by RSV, and croup was frequently caused by PIV. The most common cause of meningitis was HEV. Hepatitis-associated respiratory virus was developed 111 in 678 cases. Conclusion: Although this study was confined to a single medical center for three years, we identified the epidemiology and clinical feature of respiratory viruses in Daegu from 2010 to 2012. Future surveillance will be necessary for annual and seasonal variations.

We have performed copolymerizations of ethylene with 1-hexene using various ansa-metallocene compounds in the presence of the non-coordinative [CPh$_3$][B(C$\_$6/F$\_$5/)$_4$ion pair as a cocatalyst. The metallocenes chosen for this study are isospecific metallocene diamide compounds, rac-(EBI)Zr(NMe$_2$)$_2$ [1, EBI = ethylene-l ,2-bis(1-indenyl)], rac-(EBI)Hf(NMe$_2$)$_2$ (2), rac-(EBI)Zr(NC$_4$H$\_$8/)$_2$ (3), and rac-(CH$_3$)$_3$Si(1-C$\_$5/H$_2$-2-CH$_3$-4-$\^$t/C$_4$H$\_$9/)2 Zr(NMe$_2$)$_2$ (4), and syndiospecific metallocene dimethyl compounds, ethylidene(cyclopentadienyl)(9-fluorenyl) ZrMe$_2$ [5, Et(Flu)(Cp )ZrMe$_2$] and isopropylidence (cyclopentadienyl)(9-fluorenyl)ZrMe$_2$ [6, iPr(Flu)(Cp)ZrMe$_2$]. The copolymerization rate decreased in the order 4 ＞1-3＞2 ＞5＞6. The reactivity of I -hexene decreased in the order 2 ＞6＞1- 3-5＞ 4. We characterized the microstructure of the resulting poly(ethylene-co-l-hexene) by $\^$l3/C NMR spectroscopy and investigated various other properties of the copolymers in detail.

Swine influenza virus (SIV) or swine-origin influenza virus (S-OIV) is endemic in swine, and classified into influenza A and influenza C but not influenza B. Swine influenza A includes H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2 and H2N3 subtypes. Infection of SIV occurs in only swine and that of S-OIV is rare in human. What human can be infected with S-OIV is called as zoonotic swine flu. Pandemic 2009 swine influenza H1N1 virus (2009 H1N1) was emerged in Mexico, America and Canada and spread worldwide. The triple-reassortant H1N1 resulting from antigenic drift was contained with HA, NA and PB1 of human or swine influenza virus, PB2 and PA polymerase of avian influenza virus, and M, NP and NS of swine influenza virus, The 2009 H1N1 enables to transmit to human and swine. The symptoms and signs in human infected with 2009 H1N1 virus are fever, cough and sore throat, pneumonia as well as diarrhea and vomiting. Co-infection with other viruses and bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae can occur high mortality in high-risk population. 2009 H1N1 virus was easily differentiated from seasonal flu by real time RT-PCR which contributed rapid and confirmed diagnosis. The 2009 H1N1 virus was treated with NA inhibitors such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza) but not with adamantanes such as amantadine and rimantadine. Evolution of influenza virus has continued in various hosts. Development of a more effective vaccine against influenza prototypes is needed to protect new influenza infection such as H5 and H7 subtypes to infect to multi-organ and cause high pathogenicity.

연구배경 : ICS/LABA는 천식에서 효과가 입증되었으나 COPD에서는 덜 알려져 있다. 최근 COPD 환자에서 고용량의 ICS/LABA의 사용시 급성악화를 줄인다고 보고되고 있다. 본 연구는 중등도와 고용량의 ICS/LABA사용시 용량에 차이에 따른 COPD의 급성악화를 비교하였다. 방 법 : 2001년 1월 1일부터 2004년 8월 31일 사이에 고대안암병원에 내원하여 진단된 46명의 중등증 이상의 COPD 환자를 대상으로 하였다. flu/sal $250{\mu}g/50{\mu}g$ 하루 2번 사용한 군(A군)과 flu/sal $500{\mu}g/50{\mu}g$ 하루 2번 사용한 군(B군)으로 나누어 1년 기간 동안 급성악화의 횟수 및 입원 횟수, 처음악화까지 걸린 기간을 분석하였다. 결 과 : A 군 26명중 11명에서 급성악화를 경험하였고, 평균 악화 횟수는 0.96회, 입원횟수는 0.15 회였다. B군 20명중 11명에서 급성 악화를 경험하였고 평균 악화 횟수는 1.05회, 입원횟수는 0.30 회였다. 두 군간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었고 처음악화까지 걸린 시간도 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 중등증 이상의 COPD 환자에서 ICS 와 LABA 복합제제를 사용 할 때 고농도와 중등도 용량에서 급성 악화에 미치는 영향은 통계적으로 차이가 없었다. 향후 COPD 에서 ICS/LABA 사용시 효과적인 용량에 대한 연구가 좀 더 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
