In this study, the risks of the leakage of a methanol-fueled ship's storage tank at Ulsan Port are evaluated using ALOHA and Bow-tie methodologies. ALOHA is utilized to estimate the damage range by calculating both the worst and alternative scenarios. The results of the toxic area of the vapor cloud range (ERPG-2 standard) indicate that the alternative (629 m) and worst (817 m) scenarios include the pier facilities of the onshore tank terminal and residential areas. The flammable area of the vapor cloud range (LEL 10% standard) is observed only on the ship with the alternative (126 m) and worst (218 m) scenarios. The thermal radiation level of concern (5.0 kW/m² standard) affects only the ship in both the alternative (56 m) and worst (56 m) scenarios. Additionally, preventive and mitigation measures are evaluated by a panel of experts using the Bow-tie method. The measures are classified into "hardware" and "human" categories, with "gas-freeing system," "ventilation system," and "fire-fighting system" receiving the highest ratings for safety effectiveness and risk severity. Based on the evaluation above, a risk-assessment diagram is developed.

In light of recent social concerns related to issues such as water supply pipe deterioration leading to problems like leaks and degraded water quality, the significance of maintenance efforts to enhance water source quality and ensure a stable water supply has grown substantially. In this study, scan statistic was applied to analyze water quality complaints and water leakage accidents from 2015 to 2021 to present a reasonable method to identify areas requiring improvement in water management. SaTScan, a spatio-temporal statistical analysis program, and ArcGIS were used for spatial information analysis, and clusters with high relative risk (RR) were determined using the maximum log-likelihood ratio, relative risk, and Monte Carlo hypothesis test for I city, the target area. Specifically, in the case of water quality complaints, the analysis results were compared by distinguishing cases occurring before and after the onset of "red water." The period between 2015 and 2019 revealed that preceding the occurrence of red water, the leak cluster at location L2 posed a significantly higher risk (RR: 2.45) than other regions. As for water quality complaints, cluster C2 exhibited a notably elevated RR (RR: 2.21) and appeared concentrated in areas D and S, respectively. On the other hand, post-red water incidents of water quality complaints were predominantly concentrated in area S. The analysis found that the locations of complaint clusters were similar to those of red water incidents. Of these, cluster C7 exhibited a substantial RR of 4.58, signifying more than a twofold increase compared to pre-incident levels. A kernel density map analysis was performed using GIS to identify priority areas for waterworks management based on the central location of clusters and complaint cluster RR data.

This paper presents an qualitative assessment for hazard on the electric power installations of a construction field using FMEL The power installations have the mission to maintain the highest level of service reliability on the works. The more capital the electric power invest the higher service reliability they plausibly will achieve. However, because of limited resources, how effectively budgets can be allocated to achieve service reliability as high as possible. The assessment typically generates recommendations for increasing component reliability, thus improving the power installation safety. The FMEA tabulates the failure modes of components and how their failure affects the power installations being considered. Tn order to estimate the risks of a failures, the FMEA presents criticality estimation or risk priority number using the severity, occurrence, and detectability. The results showed that the highest components of the risk priority number among components were condenser, transformer, MCCB and LA. And In case of the criticality estimation, the potential failure modes were abnormal temperature rise, insulation oil leakage, deterioration for the transformer, overcurrent for the MCCB and operation outage fir the LA.

Backround: Pulmonary aspergilloma is a potential life-threatening disease resulting from massive hemoptysis. Pulmonary aspergilloma has been treated surgically for many years, however, it has also had higher risk of mortality and complication rate. The purpose of this study is to analyze the operative methods and the types of complications. Material and Method: Sixty patients who underwent surgical resection for pulmonary their medical reconrds. Result: The mean age was 46.3$\pm$13.4 years(range 20 to 76 years). The most common clinical presentation was hemoptysis which occurred in 48 patients(80%). Pulmonary tuberculosis was the most common pre-existing disease, occurri9ng in 28 patients(46.7%). The other associated lung diseases were bronchiectasis(n=11), silicosis(n=2), and chronic pnumonia(n=1). Operative proceudres wer lobectomy in 35 patients, pneumonectomy in 6, segmentectomy in 5, lobectomy and thoracoplasty in 3, segmentectomy and thoracopasty in 1, and cavernostomy in 10. The operative mortality was 6%(n=3) in lung resection patients but 0% in cavernostomy patients. The most common complications were prolonged air leakage, wound infection and postoperative bleeding. Conclusion: In most cases of pulmonary aspergilloma surgical resectin remains the only effective therapy. However, cavernostomy may be more effective for pulmonary aspergilloma patients with decreased pulmonary functions and for patients with high risk for lung resection.

As IT technology developed, storage media also developed. Among them, USB, which is a removable storage medium, is used not only to have several per person but also to work in various companies. Users store valuable and confidential data within USB. As time went on, the need for security increased. In order to solve this security problem, USB has been introduced to allow users to access internal files by inputting ID and password by embedding a security program in USB. However, the method of storing ID and Password inside is low confidentiality and high risk of information leakage. To solve these problems, we propose a 2 factor authentication system using Radius server in addition to login authentication. The proposed system not only improves the authenticity of the device, but also reduces the risk of infringement of personal information when lost. It also encrypts internal files to increase the confidentiality of internal information.

In this study, risk assessment was conducted in case of leakage of storage facilities (tube trailer) using the HyKoRAM program developed through international joint research. The high-pressure gas facilities in the hydrogen filling station are divided into four main categories: storage facilities (tube trailers), processing facilities (compressors), compressed gas facilities, and filling facilities (dispensers). Among them, the design specifications of the tube trailer, which is a storage facility, and the surrounding environmental conditions were reflected to construct an accident scenario with previously occurring accidents and potential accidents. Through this, we identify the risks of storage facilities at hydrogen refueling stations and suggest measures to improve the safety of hydrogen charging stations.

Purpose: No standard technique has been established for esophagojejunal anastomosis during laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) for gastric cancer owing to the technical difficulty and high complication rate of this procedure. This study was performed to compare the short-term outcomes of circular and linear stapling methods after LTG. Materials and Methods: A total of 106 patients treated between July 2010 and July 2018 were divided into 2 groups according to the following anastomosis procedures: hemi-double-stapling technique (HDST; circular stapling method; group C, n=77) or overlap method (linear stapling method; group L, n= 29). The clinicopathological features and postoperative outcomes, including complications, were analyzed. Multivariate analysis was performed using a logistic regression model to identify the independent risk factors for anastomotic complications. Results: The incidence of anastomotic complications was significantly higher in group C than in group L (28.0% vs. 6.9%, P=0.031). The incidence of anastomosis leakage did not differ between the groups (6.5% vs. 6.9%, P=1.000). However, anastomosis stricture occurred only in group C (13% vs. 0%, P=0.018). Multivariate analysis showed that the anastomosis type was significantly related to the risk of anastomotic complications (P=0.045). Conclusions: The overlap method was superior to the HDST with respect to anastomotic complications, especially anastomosis stricture.
