최근 세계적으로 기후 변화에 따라 태풍으로 인한 피해규모가 커지고 가속화되어 많은 피해를 받고 있는 중이다. 이에 몇몇 선진국의 경우, 태풍을 포함하여 다양한 자연재해로부터 건물에 미치는 손상을 최소한으로 하기 위해 건축물 피해액 사전예측 모델에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있는 추세이다. 하지만, 국내에서는 외국에서 개발된 프로그램을 사용하기에는 태풍의 크기나 영향력에서 많은 차이가 나므로 국내의 특성에 적합한 모델이 필요한 실정이다. 또한, 국내의 연구들은 태풍의 특성만을 고려하여 진행되고 있으나 태풍은 폭우와 강풍을 동반하는 복합재해로서 태풍의 특성뿐만 아니라 지리, 사회경제, 건설환경 등 다양한 요인을 고려하여야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 태풍에 따른 지역별 건물피해액 영향요인을 도출하고 회귀분석을 활용한 건물피해액 예측모델 개발을 목적으로 한다. 향후 본 연구의 결과는 미국의 HAZUS -MH와 같이 국내에서 태풍에 따른 피해를 예측하기 위한 모델 개발을 위한 자료로 활용될 것이다.

급진적인 산업발전에 따른 무분별한 이산화탄소 배출로 인하여 지구온난화, 이상 기후 등의 문제가 불거지고 있으며 이는 한 나라에만 국한되지 않은 국제적인 문제가 되었다. 위와 같은 문제를 해결하고자 본 연구에서는 이산화탄소에 대해 높은 친화도를 가지고 있는 PEGBEM-g-POEM 가지형 공중합체를 합성하였으며 $CaCO_3$염을 첨가하여 염의 중량에 따른 혼합매질분리막의 이산화탄소/질소 투과 성능을 관찰하였다. $CaCO_3$염이 고분자 중량 대비 50% 첨가되었을 때 최적의 이산화탄소/질소 분리 투과성능을 보였으며, 선택도는 염을 추가하기 전 44.7에서 45.42로 크게 변하지 않은 반면 이산화탄소 투과도는 염을 첨가하기 전 22.5 GPU에서 28.16 GPU로 약 25% 향상되었다. 이는 첨가한 염과 이산화탄소간의 상호작용으로 인하여 향상된 고분자 복합막의 이산화탄소에 대한 용해도에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다. 또한 염을 과량으로 첨가한 경우에는 고분자가 복합막의 표면을 충분히 메우지 못하여 계면결함이 생성되었으며 이로 인해 이산화탄소 기체 분리성능이 감소하였다. 기체분리성능 향상을 위해서는 적정량의 염 첨가가 필수적인 것으로 분석되었다.

Background: The Himalayan forests are of great importance to sustain the nature and community resource demands. These forests are facing pressures both from anthropogenic activities and ongoing global climatic changes. Poor natural regeneration has been considered a major problem in mountainous forests. To understand the population structure and regeneration status of Larix (Larix griffithiana and Larix himalaica), we conducted systematic vegetation surveys in three high-altitude valleys namely Ghunsa (Kanchenjunga Conservation Area, KCA), Langtang (Langtang National Park, LNP), and Tsum (Manaslu Conservation Area, MCA) in Nepal Himalaya. The average values of diameter at breast height (DBH), height, and sapling height were compared for three sites and two species using Kruskal-Wallis test. Population structure was assessed in terms of proportion of seedlings, saplings, and trees. Regeneration was analyzed using graphical representation of frequencies of seedlings, saplings, and trees in histograms. Results: The results showed that the population structure of Larix in terms of the proportion of seedling, sapling, and tree varied greatly in the three study areas. KCA had the highest record of seedling, sapling, and tree compared to other two sites. Seedlings were the least among three forms and many plots were without seedlings. We found no seedling in MCA study plots. The plot level average DBH variation among sites was significant (Kruskal-Wallis χ² = 7.813, df = 2, p = 0.02) as was between species (Kruskal-Wallis χ² = 5.9829, df = 1, p = 0.014). Similarly, the variation in average tree height was significant (Kruskal-Wallis χ² = 134.23, df = 2, p < 0.001) among sites as well as between species (Kruskal-Wallis χ² = 128.01, df = 1, p < 0.001). All the sites showed reverse J-shaped curve but more pronounced for KCA and MCA. In comparing the two species, Larix griffithiana has clear reverse J-shaped diameter distribution but not Larix himalaica. Conclusion: The varied responses of Larix manifested through regeneration status from spatially distinct areas show that regeneration limitations might be more pronounced in the future. In all the three studied valleys, regeneration of Larix is found to be problematic and specifically for Larix griffithiana in MCA and Larix himalaica in LNP. To address the issues of disturbances, especially serious in LNP, management interventions are recommended to sustain the unique Himalayan endemic conifer.

모바일 기기가 발전함에 따라 입력 수단에 대한 연구는 중요한 이슈이다 키패드, 쿼티키패드, 터치, 음성인식 등 다양한 입력장치가 사용되고 있으나 아직 데스크톱 입력장치에 비해 편의성이 떨어져서 입력 시의 오타나 탈자 등의 오류가 포함되는 경우가 많다. 이러한 입력 오류는 문자 메시지 등 사람과의 의사소통에는 문제를 일으키지 않으나 사전, 주소록 등의 데이터베이스 검색에는 치명적인 오류로서 원하는 검색 결과를 얻지 못하게 된다. 특히 한글의 경우 자음과 모음의 조합을 통해 글자를 생성하는 특성상 1만자가 넘는 글자의 조합이 가능하여 영문에 비하여 오류의 빈도가 높다. 기존의 검색 시스템은 Suffix Tree등을 이용하여 입력 오류를 처리하지만 다양한 오류에 대응하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 오자, 탈자 등의 입력 오류를 허용하면서 빠른 검색이 가능한 근사 한글 단어 검색 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 이 시스템은 기존의 알파벳에 적용된 근사 문자열 검색(Approximate String Searching)을 한글에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있는 여러 가지 알고리즘과 기법이 포함되어 있다. 그리고 제안된 시스템을 이용한 변형 욕설 필터링 시스템의 개발에 대해 이야기하고자 한다. 이 시스템은 유저의 각종 변형 욕설 입력에 대해 90% 이상의 필터링 성능을 보였다.

Lead (Pb) is a ubiquitously occurring environmental heavy metal which is widely used in industry and human life. Possibly due to a global industrial expansion, recent studies have revealed the prevalent human exposure to Pb and increased risk of Pb toxicity. Once ingested by human, 95% of absorbed Pb is accumulated into erythrocytes and erythrocytes are known to be a prime target for Pb toxicity. Most of the studies were however, focused on $Pb^{2+}$ whereas the effects of $Pb^{4+}$, another major form of Pb on erythrocytes are poorly understood yet. In this study, we investigated and compared the effects of $Pb^{4+}$, $Pb^{2+}$ and other heavy metals on procoagulant activation of erythrocytes, an important factor for the participation of erythrocytes in thrombotic events in an effort to address the cardiovascular toxicity of $Pb^{4+}$. Freshly isolated erythrocytes from human were incubated with $Pb^{4+}$, $Pb^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$ and $Ag^+$ and the exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS), key marker for procoagulant activation was measured using flow cytometry. As a result, while $Cd^{2+}$ and $Ag^+$ did not affect PS exposure, $Pb^{4+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ induced significantly PS exposure in a dose-dependent manner. Of a particular note, $Pb^{4+}$ induced PS exposure with a similar potency with $Pb^{2+}$. PS bearing microvesicle (MV), another important contributor to procoagulant activation was also generated by $Pb^{4+}$. These PS exposure and MV generation by $Pb^{4+}$ were well in line with the shape change of erythrocyte from normal discocytes to MV shedding echinocytes following $Pb^{4+}$ treatment. Meanwhile, nonspecific hemolysis was not observed suggesting the specificity of $Pb^{4+}$-induced PS exposure and MV generation. These results indicated that $Pb^{4+}$ could induce procoagulant activation of erythrocytes through PS exposure and MV generation, suggesting that $Pb^{4+}$ exposure might ultimately lead to increased thrombotic events.

전 세계적으로 선복량의 증가와 더불어 선원의 수요는 지속적인 증가세가 예상된다. 또한 지난 몇 년 동안 경험해 왔던 바와 같이 세계 경기가 회복세로 돌아설 때 해기사 부족 현상이 재발될 것이 우려된다. 발틱국제해사협의회(BIMCO)와 국제해운연맹(ISF)의 2010년 보고에는 유능한 해기사를 양성해내기 위한 지속적인 노력을 경주하는 것이 불확실한 시나리오에 대비하여 산업계의 손실을 줄일 수 있을 것이라고 밝혔다. OECD회원국인 한국은 조선산업의 강국이며 또한 해운선단의 지속적인 확장세를 보여주고 있는 나라이다. 한편, 필리핀은 여전히 상선 인력의 주공급원으로 인식되어 있다. 이 논문에서는 두 나라 해양계 졸업생들의 진로에 관한 통계적 비교를 살펴보았다. 결론적으로, 국제 해사 교육 및 실습에 관한 교류협력에 초점을 맞춘 한국과 필리핀사이의 상호 협력 관계가 확립되어야 한다고 제안한다.

Background: There is a scarcity of information about the proportion of the adult Saudi population that meet the recommended guidelines of physical activity (PA) to reduce cancer risk. Moreover, their awareness about the role of PA in cancer prevention is unclear. Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed at estimating the proportion of adult Saudis meeting the PA guidelines, specifically those recommended by American Cancer Society (ACS) for cancer prevention, and to assess the public awareness about the role of PA in cancer prevention. Materials and Methods: Using a multistage sampling method, 2,127 adult Saudis of both genders were recruited from 6 urban and 4 rural primary health care centers in Al Hassa, Saudi Arabia. Participants were personally interviewed to gather information about their sociodemographic characteristics, searching activity about PA and cancer, and the time spent in leisure time PA (moderate and vigorous)/week using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire with show cards. Finally, items about the role of PA in cancer risk reduction were inquired. Results: Of the included participants, 11.6% met the recommendations for cancer prevention (${\geq}45$ minutes of moderate-vigorous PA activity/${\geq}5$ days/week or 225 minutes/week). Multivariate regression showed that being male (AOR=1.49, CI=1.09-2.06), <20 years of age (AOR=3.11, CI=2.03-4.76), and unemployed (AOR=2.22, CI=1.57-3.18) were significant predictors for meeting PA recommendations for cancer prevention. Only 11.4% of the sample indicated correctly the frequency and duration of PA required for an average adult to be physically active and while >70% of them indicated the role of PA in prevention of hypertension, coronary heart disease and lowering elevated blood cholesterol, only 18.6% and 21.7% correctly mentioned the role of PA in reducing colon and breast cancer risk, respectively. Poor knowledge was found among those with less than college education and aged ${\geq}50$ years. The level of knowledge was significantly positively correlated with total leisure time PA of the participants. Conclusions: A minority of adult Saudis in Al Hassa was aware about the role of PA in cancer prevention and engaged in sufficient LTPA for cancer risk reduction benefits, highlighting the need for public health actions to include policies and programs that address factors deterring their participation in LTPA and increasing their awareness with remedies to manage the prevalent misconceptions.

"When it comes to art, nationalism is a goodticket to ride with", says the title of a report in the Indian Express (Mumbai, 29 Oct 2000). The newspaper report goes on to say that since Indian art was kept "ethnic" by colonialism, national liberation meant opening up to the world on India's own terms. Advocacy, at the tail end of the 20th century, would contrast dramatically with the call by Rabindranath Tagore, the founder of the academy at Santiniketan in 1901, to guard against the fetish of nationalism. "The colourless vagueness of cosmopolitanism," Tagore pronounced, "nor thefierce self-idolatry of nation-worship, is the goal of human history" (Nationalism, 1917). This contrast is significant on two counts. First is the positive aspect of "nation" as a frame in art production or circulation, at the current point of globalization when massive expansion of cultural consumers may be realized through prevailing communication networks and technology. The organization of the information market, most vividly demonstrated through the recent FIFA World Cup when one out of every five living human beings on earth watched the finals, is predicated on nations as categories. An extension of the Indian Express argument would be that tagging of artworks along the category of nation would help ensure greatest reception, and would in turn open up the reified category of "art," so as to consider new impetus from aesthetic traditions from all parts of the world many of which hereto fore regarded as "ethnic," so as to liberate art from any hegemony of "international standards." Secondly, the critique of nationalism points to a transnational civic sphere, be it Tagore's notion of people-not-nation, or the much mo re recent "transnational constellation" of Jurgen Habermas (2001), a vision for the European Union w here civil sphere beyond confines of nation opens up new possibilities, and may serve as a model for a liberated sphere on global scale. There are other levels of collectivity which art may address, for instance the Indonesian example of local communities headed by Ketua Rukun Tetangga, the neighbourhood headmen, in which community matters of culture and the arts are organically woven into the communal fabric. Art and collectivity at the national-transnational level yield a contrasting situation of, on the idealized end, the dual inputs of local culture and tradition through "nation" as necessary frame, and the concurrent development of a transnational, culturally and aesthetically vibrant civic sphere that will ensure a cosmopolitanism that is not a "colourless vagueness." In art historical studies, this is seen, for instance, in the recent discussion on "cosmopolitan modernisms." Conversely, we may see a dual tyranny of a nationalism that is a closure (sometimes stated as "ethno-nationalism" which is disputable), and an internationalism that is evolved through restrictive understanding of historical development within privileged expressions. In art historical terms, where there is a lack of investigation into the reality of multiple modernisms, the possibility of a democratic cosmopolitanism in art is severely curtailed. The advocacy of a liberal cosmopolitanism without a democratic foundation returns art to dominance of historical privileged category. A local community with lack of transnational inputs may sometimes place emphasis on neo-traditionalism which is also a double edged sword, as re kindling with traditions is both liberating and restrictive, which in turn interplays with the push and pull of the collective matrix.

디지털 시대에 개인의 프라이버시 및 인격권 보호를 위해 잊힐 권리(the right to be forgotten)를 보장해야 한다는 주장이 꾸준히 제기되어 왔다. 본 논문은 유럽에서 촉발된 잊힐 권리에 대한 논의가 개인정보보호를 중심으로 링크 삭제 청구권이라는 법적 권리로 구체화된 반면, 한국에서 진행되고 있는 잊힐 권리 관련 논의가 언론 기사로 인한 개인의 인격권 침해 전반에 대한 피해 구제 차원으로 확대되면서 기사 삭제 청구권을 포함하는 법적 권리로 변용돼 논의되는 상황에 주목했다. 이에 본 논문은 잊힐 권리의 개념 및 그 보호법익을 해외 사례를 통해 파악한 후, 국내의 표현의 자유 규제 법률들을 살펴봄으로써 현재 추진되고 있는 기사 삭제 청구권 신설의 타당성을 검토했다. 한국은 헌법 21조 4항, 정보통신망법, 형법상의 명예훼손죄와 모욕죄, 민사상 명예훼손 손해배상 규정, 언론중재법, 공직선거법, 방송통신심의위원회의 심의, 대법원 판례 등으로 인격권과 명예훼손을 구제하는 법망이 해외에 비해 꽉 짜여 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 여기에 추가해 언론중재법에 기사 삭제 청구권을 신설하는 것은, 링크 삭제 청구권을 인정하지만 언론 기사 자체를 삭제하지는 않는 세계적 추세와 결을 달리할 뿐 아니라, 상충하는 법익들을 비교형량할 때 표현의 자유를 심대하게 침해할 위험이 크다고 주장한다.

Breast cancer is a global health concern and is a major cause of death among women. In Oman, it is the most common cancer in women, with an incidence rate of 15.6 per 100,000 Omani females. Various anticancer remedies have been discovered from natural products in the past and the search is continuing for additional examples. Cytotoxic natural compounds may have a major role in cancer therapy either in potentiating the effect of chemotherapy or reducing its harmful effects. Recently, a few studies have reported advantages of using crude camel milk in treating some forms of cancer. However, no adequate data are available on the lyophilised camel's milk responsibility for triggering apoptosis and oxidative stress associated with human breast cancer. The present study aimed to address the role of the lyophilised camel's milk in inducing proliferation repression of BT-474 and HEp-2 cells compared with the non-cancer HCC1937 BL cell line. Lyophilized camel's milk fundamentally repressed BT-474 cells growth and proliferation through the initiation of either the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways as indicated by both caspase-3 mRNA and its action level, and induction of death receptors in BT-474 but not the HEp-2 cell line. In addition, lyophilised camel's milk enhanced the expression of oxidative stress markers, heme-oxygenase-1 and reactive oxygen species production in BT-474 cells. Increase in caspase-3 mRNA levels by the lyophilised camel's milk was completely prevented by the actinomycin D, a transcriptional inhibitor. This suggests that lyophilized camel's milk increased newly synthesized RNA. Interestingly,it significantly (p<0.003) repressed the growth of HEp-2 cells and BT-474 cells after treatment for 72 hours while 24 hours treatment repressed BT-474 cells alone. This finding suggests that the lyophilised camel's milk might instigate apoptosis through initiation of an alternative apoptotic pathway.
