  • The paper discusses results of recent international intercomparison exercises on internal dose assessments, status of up to date internal dosimetry methods and the radiological legislation developed and implemented in Korea, European Union and Ukraine. The system of radiation protection in Korea is based on the Korean Atomic Energy Regulatory Enforcement on Safety Standards (Ministry Notice No. 2001-2). The notice is based on the recommendations in ICRP Publication 60 (1990) and IAEA Basic Safety Standards (1996). But the full implementation of the notice by the end of the year 2002 is not required because of the socio-economic situation and inexperience in internal radiation dosimetry Regulatory framework for internal radiation dosimetry is under development toward the full implementation of the notice from January 1, 2003. The system of radiation protection in Ukraine is based on the National radiation protection regulatory code NRBU-97. The code was developed and adopted in 1998 and replaced the Regulations of Former Soviet Union. The document is based on the ICRP Publication 60, Euratom Directive 96/29 and IAEA Basic Safety Standards (1996). The transitional period of 5 years (effected till January 2003) is established for implementation of all requirements of this new regulation. The system of radiation protection in the European Community is based on the Council Directive 96/29/Euratom, adopted in 1996 and enforced from 13 May 2000. Directive 96/29/Euratom has the status of the European law.

  • The effectiveness of aerodynamic modification to reduce wind loadings has been widely reported. However, most of previous studies have been investigated dynamic forces and pressure distributions on tall buildings with various unconventional configurations. This study was investigated dynamic characteristics and aerodynamic instability of super-tall buildings with unconventional configurations through extensive aeroelastic model experiments. Seventeen types of supertall building models were considered such as basic and corner modification with corner cut, chamfered, oblique opening, tapered, inversely tapered, bulged, helical with twist angles of $90^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$, $360^{\circ}$ and composite with $360^{\circ}$ helical & corner cut, 4-tapered & $360^{\circ}$ helical & corner cut, setback & corner cut, setback & $45^{\circ}$ rotate. As a result, aerodynamic characteristics of helical models with single modification are superior to those of other models with single modification. However, effect of twist angle for helical model is negligible. Further, the 4-tapered & $360^{\circ}$helical & corner cut model is most effective in reducing the along- and across-wind fluctuating displacement responses in all of experimental models.

  • In this paper, we would like to share our ongoing research on global population and demographic shifts and the corresponding need for diverse responses. As population growth varies worldwide, the pressing issue is the current global housing shortage. The USA alone lacks 4 million homes, underlining the urgency for new construction and renewal of existing. Our focus is primarily on new building processes, which must also incorporate elements of renewal for future sustainability. Our research addresses several key questions: How will roles for construction professionals change? What should be the primary goal of the design process? What types of technologies are currently available, and which aspects of the process can be enhanced with AI? A significant part of our study is exploring sustainable building methods that reduce embodied carbon and increase speed of construction. Our goal is to extend the transition from smart homes to cities, analyzing the evolution towards smart communities and cities. A critical aspect of our research is the 'kit of parts concept, involving prefabrication and modular construction. This approach is essential for both rebuilding and new projects, potentially lowering costs in manufacturing and design for long term. Lastly, we present a detailed comparison of the construction industry with manufacturing.

  • Cancer registration, an important component of cancer surveillance, is essential to a unified, scientific and public health approach to cancer prevention and control. India has one of the highest cancer incidence and mortality rates in the world. A good surveillance system in the form of cancer registries is important for planning and evaluating cancer-control activities. Cancer registration in India was initiated in 1964 and expanded since 1982, through initiation of the National Cancer Registry Program (NCRP) by the Indian Council of Medical Research. NCRP currently has twenty-six population based registries and seven hospital based registries. Yet, Indian cancer registries, mostly in urban areas, cover less than 15% of the population. Other potential concerns about some Indian registries include accuracy and detail of information on cancer diagnosis, and timeliness in updating the registry databases. It is also important that necessary data collection related quality assurance measures be undertaken rigorously by the registries to ensure reliable and valid information availability. This paper reviews the current status of cancer registration in India and discusses some of the important pitfalls and issues related to cancer registration. Cancer registration in India should be complemented with a nationwide effort to foster systematic investigations of cancer patterns and trends by states, regions and sub populations and allow a continuous cycle of measurement, communication and action.

  • The landscape of corporate reporting is changing quickly. The concepts, elements and principles that characterize the way organizations plan, manage and report their annual performances are currently being questioned, debated, and redesigned throughout the world. However, widening the scope of corporate performance and reporting is a major issue. Research needs to bridge the gap between social and financial performance by considering corporate performance in a wider perspective. At base, IR is a relatively new but powerful idea: enhancing the way organizations think, plan and report the story of their business. Organizations are using IR to communicate a clear, concise, integrated story that explains how all of their resources are creating value. This paper examines the rise of what has been widely claimed to represent a new and striking future for corporate reporting, namely the notion of "Integrated Reporting" (IR). Unfortunately, there is poor empirical research work undertaken which has focused on published integrated reports. This research study provides initial analysis of the content and structure of the corporate integrated reports published in 2013 and available on the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) Emerging Examples Database. As part of this study, Integrated Reports were analyzed for company information, report information and report content. Moreover, they were also evaluated as to the extent these adhered to the integrated reporting (IR) Guiding Principles, Content Elements, and the multiple capitals model. Findings of this study indicate that "early integrated reports were mostly lengthy, fail to adhere to all the guiding principles, and covered four of the six capitals suggested." At present, no universally accepted global framework for IR exists and it is still largely a voluntary practice. We believe that IR of both financial and non-financial performance should be made mandatory, and it should become a universal practice for all the global listed companies within the next 5-10 years.

  • 그동안 미국은 세계시장경제질서에 있어서 우위를 점해오면서, 탈규제, 민간자율과 공개경쟁을 강조해 왔으며, 이는 표준화활동에 있어서도 다양하고 통합되지 않은 표준화체계로 이어졌다. 그러나, 1990년대 이후 WTO 무역장벽협정(TBT)의 체결로 국제표준의 위상이 강화되고, 세계정보통신시장에서 선도적 표준화 활동이 국가경쟁력 우위로 이어진다는 인식이 확산되었으며, 특히 EU의 통합과정에서 EU공동체간의 단일화된 기술규격의 제정과 이의 WTO를 통한 제외국에의 강요로부터 미국의 경제상 타격이 계속되자 기존의 민간중심 표준화활동에 정부지원의 필요성을 느끼게 되었다. 따라서 미국은 국내뿐만 아니라, 국제사회에서의 우위를 계속하여 유지하기 위한 하나의 방법으로 표준화활동의 강화 특히 정부의 표준화활동 지원을 통한 국가차원의 접근에 중점을 두게 되었다. 이에 따라 1996년 2개의 법률이 개정되었는데, 그 하나가 연방 전기통신법(Telecommunication Act of 1996)이고, 다른 하나는 NRC(National Research Council)의 1995년 보고서 "Standards, Conformity Assessment, and Trade into the 21 Century"에 따라 개정된 NTTAA(National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act)이다. 본고에서는 미국의 표준화활동의 제도적 기반으로서 이상의 법률 기타 이들의 실행계획을 검토하고 우리나라 정보통신 표준화에 있어서 정부의 적극적 제도적 정비의 필요성을 제언하고자 한다. 제언하고자 한다.

  • 기후변화에 관한 정부간 패널 (IPCC)에 따르면, 북극의 해빙(Sea-ice) 면적은 1978년 위성관측 이래 매년 2.7%씩 감소하고 있다. 이와 같은 해빙 감소는 북극항로에 대한 관심으로 이어져 경제적인 이익을 기대하고 있다. 북동항로(Northen Sea Rout)를 이용하게 되면 기존 수에즈운하이용 경로보다 약 37% 정도 거리가 단축된다. 또한 북극에는 지구부존자원 중 천연가스의 30%과 석유의 13%가 매장되어있다고 추정된다. 우리나라는 2013년 5월 북극개발의 주도권을 가진 북극이사회 (Arctic Council)에서 정식 옵저버 자격을 획득함으로써 북극해 진출의 교두보를 마련했으며, 2030년에는 쇄빙선 없이 북극항로를 이용할 수 있을 것이라도 예상되므로 북극해 항로 개척을 통한 물류비 절감 및 자원개발의 필요성은 점점 커지고 있는 상황이다. 한국해양과학기술원에서는 북극 항로 및 자원탐사 지원을 위한 북극 해양환경정보시스템 구축을 위한 기획과제를 수행 중에 있다. 이번 발표에서는, 위성기반으로 항행안전지원을 위한 시스템 설계를 위한 초기 단계로 개념 설계의 결과를 소개하고자 한다.

  • The reinforced-concrete multi-story shear-wall structure, which can free a building from beams and columns to allow the planning of a vast room, has increasingly been used in Japan as a high-rise reinforced-concrete structure. Since this structural system concentrates the seismic force onto multi-story shear walls inside, the bending deformation of the walls may cause excessive deformation on the upper floors during an earthquake. However, it is possible to control the bending deformation to within a certain level by setting high-strength and rigid beams (outriggers) at the top of the multi-story shear walls; these outriggers restrain the bending behavior of the walls. Moreover, it is possible to achieve high energy dissipation by placing vibration control devices on the outriggers and thus restrain the bending behavior. This paper outlines the earthquake response analysis of a high-rise residential tower to demonstrate the effectiveness of the outrigger frame incorporating vibration control devices.
