  • The frequency of natural disasters because of global warming is gradually increasing, risks of flooding due to typhoon and torrential rain have also increased. Among these causes, the roads are flooded by suddenly torrential rain, and then vehicle and personal injury are happening. In this respect, because of the possibility that immersion of a road may occur in a second, it is necessary to study the rapid data collection and quick response system. Our research proposes a big data analysis system based on the collected information and a variety of system information collection methods for searching flooded road areas by torrential rains. The data related flooded roads are utilized the SNS data, meteorological data and the road link data, etc. And the big data analysis system is implemented the distributed processing system based on the Hadoop platform.

  • Recent reports studied that injuries or deaths frequently occurred in consumer product accidents by product defects. Broadly speaking, product liability is liability which is imposed upon a manufacturer or other seller for personal injury, death, property damage and/or commercial loss arising with respect to a product or service provided by it. In this study, we want to search a method of prevention against appling PL laws. The way was researching on the level of appreciation of PL law, warning messages's means and design criteria for seller or consumer of child toys. As a result, most people didn't understand PL laws. Although they read them before purchasing child toy, many consumers didn't differentiate means of "Notice", "Warning", and "Danger" in warning messages. In addition, they considered important factors in warning messages as notice warning, safety mark(UL, etc), age recommendation and color in order. This study will be effective to search a method of prevention against PL laws.

  • With recent growth of population and industry, urban development grows into grand scheme of excavation and construction in urban area. As the development progress advanced, the developments get large and deepen. With a progress of technology development in geotechnical engineering in Korea, most our grand scheme of projects follows great progress. On the other hand, some excavation in construction site caused direct or indirect event that affects the adjacent or surrounding structures by excavation from time to time. This event usually happens around residential and commercial area where underground tunnel, subway station, commercial building, and high-rises excavation site is, could lead great damage on economy as well as personal injury or human casualties. In order to prevent this event, the study has to be done with analysis on various events of excavation and its cause. In this paper, the research has collected the various excavation events and their causes to analyze on each site and event to define emphasis on surrounding environment.

  • Rupture of the aorta following blunt trauma of the thorax may occur more frequently than has generally been recognized. Actual complete transection of the aorta usually results in immediate death but varying degrees of lesser disruption permit increased chance of survival. Chronic traumatic aneurysms are so designated following a period of 3 months from the traumatic incident. The exact time required for the acute process and hematoma to convert into an aneurysm is unknown. Because a thoracic surgeon encounters so few of these aneurysms, it is difficult for him to arrive at sound dicta of management from his personal experience. It is not surprising that controversy exists concerning the therapeutic approach to the aneurysm which is asymptomatic and is discovered months or years after the causative injury. In the hope of improving the surgical treatment of patients with this condition, we reported one case with chronic traumatic aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta.

  • When accidents that relate to a large numbers of people occur, such as disasters involving group tours by ship or aircraft, or large-scale chemical leakages, it is very important to know the personal identification of victims and to determine their locations and status. It is true that there will be serious damage or injury to people who engaged especially when information does not transfer properly or people get inaccurate one. In this study, therefore, we analysed the disaster response management system for rescued people of the Sewo ferry sinking accident. Based on the analysis we proposed to improve the real-time disaster management system with ICT(Information & Communication Technology).

  • Intraoperative Radiation therapy (IORT) is a cancer treatment modality in which resectable masses or organs are removed surgically and residual cancer calls are sterilized by irradiation with a single massive dose during while patient is still anesthetized. Because it is possible that the turner mass can be visualized directly at the time of surgical exploration, tumor volume can be determined more precisely and at the same tin e sensitive adjacent structures can be pulled aside from the irradiation. With these theoretical advantages as compare to conventional external irradiation, IORT can improve the therapeutic ratio of tumor control to normal tissue injury. Yonsei cancer center initiated a pilot study of multidisciplinary IORT program in february of 1986 for the fist attempt in Korea. IORT Was performed in 7 patients with stomach cancer by using existing NELAC-1018 Linear Accelerator treatment room as a surgical suite. IOTR team included department of surgery, Department of Anethesiology, Department of Clinical pathology, operating room nursing personal and Department of radiation oncology.

  • There is a risk that the damage caused by frequent earthquakes can lead to the risk of personal injury due to cracks in buildings and collapse of major structures. Although the seismic design of the new building is designed to be reinforced, the existing structure is not exposed to the risk of earthquake. Therefore, it is aimed to develop the steel frame type CFT composite method which can easily reinforce the CFT structural system with excellent seismic performance against the old non - seismic structure.

  • To minimize and prevent the increasing fire and personal injury, the domestic firefighting organizations are making continuous efforts to strengthen the response system and safety standards. "Fire Reduction Program" has been prepared to reduce the outbreak of fire up to 20% in the next 10 years, and the analysis of fire sources should be done and its countermeasures also should be done accordingly. Therefore, the management status, the improvement tasks, and the limitations of the implementation plan are reviewed and studied so that the implementation and goal of the "Fire Reduction Policy" can be achieved.

  • 기후변화로 인해 점차 이상기후가 심해짐에 따라 폭염이나, 한파와 같은 극한 기상현상에 의한 피해가 증가하고 있다. 이중에서도 특히 폭염에 의한 피해는 인명피해 발생과 관련성이 크다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 폭염시기의 종관기상학적인 특성 분석을 통해 인명피해를 가져오는 폭염의 기상학적인 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 폭염으로 인한 초과사망자수의 발생이 많았던 1994년 7월 21일을 전후로 하여, 건강에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 종관규모의 기류의 영향이 발생함을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Despite manufacturers' effort to provide safe and reliable products, a number of product-related accidents occur all over the world resulting in much damage to property, personal injury and even loss of life. Considerable evidence indicates that some accidents arise from user negligence, but most are due to the design, manufacture, and distribution of unreasonably dangerous products when compared to their use. As a result, a tremendous number of product liability lawsuits have been filed, many times causing huge amount of financial damages to manufacturers. Furthermore, with increasing government regulation and growing power of consumer lobbies, manufacturers might be more exposed to product liability claims in the future than now. The objectives of this study are twofold: to provide a framework of future research on product liability and safety and to introduce a product safety policy. To accomplish these objectives, previous studies on product liability and safety were reviewed thoroughly. The product safety policy consists of two parts: (1) an engineering design strategy for reducing product-related risks and (2) a management program for a product liability loss prevention plan. The policy is essential to preventing manufacturers' liability exposure as well as designing a safer product.
