The purpose of this study was to conduct a survey on the senses that preliminary dental hygienists have on employment, who applied for the National Dental Hygienist Examination, so that it could provide a basic reference required for fostering good human resources specializing in oral health with a sense of mission and responsibility as professional. To meet these goals, a self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted for participants in a refresher education meeting for preliminary dental hygienists across three major regions(Seoul, Daejeon and Busan), which was held by the Korean Dental Hygienists Association(KDHA) on Jan. 15, 2006. Total 289 sheets of questionnaire were collected, and 262 sheets except invalid or incomplete ones were used for examination and analysis. As a result, this study came to the following conclusions: First, it was found that 40.4% respondents wanted to be employed in dental clinic or hospital. Most respondents(90.1%) answered that faithfulness is most valued as prerequisite qualification for employment in hospital, and highest percentage of respondents(39.3%) wanted to earn 16 to 17 million Korean won annually. For internship opportunities, 61.9% respondents replied that they could willingly accept the internship, provided that basic pay and switchover to regular employee are all assured. Second, as the results of survey on employment circumstances around respondents, it was found that most respondents(58.3%) were employed in dental clinic or hospital, and highest percentage of respondents(35.0%) earned 15 to 16 million Korean won. Third, it was found that interpersonal relationships among employees had most significant effects(4.81) on selection of employment, which was followed by in-house welfare benefits 1(monthly/annual vacation, resting room, etc; 4.56). For possible influential factors on the selection of employment depending on whether employed or not, it was found that there were Significant differences in pay, welfare benefit 2(seminar, orientation, refresher training opportunities, etc), post-wedding continued employment and merit system between employees and non-employees(pE0.05). Fourth, the survey on respondents' occupational senses of dental hygienist showed that major tasks of dental hygienists were represented by oral disease prevention(92.6%), case management(71.5%), oral health education(66.3%), hospital/clinic management and dental management support(10.4%) and public oral health activities(6.7%) respectively. For job satisfaction, it was found that almost half respondents(48.9%) showed satisfaction at their job and 32.6% felt satisfied at and proud of their job. That is, majority of respondents(81.5%) felt satisfied at their job as dental hygienist. For follow-up requirements to qualify for dental hygienists, it was found that 73.3% felt it necessary to give more investments to self-development, 62.2% respondents considered protection of membership's rights as one of future assignments that KDHA should be more committed to. For future social awareness about dental hygienists as occupation, 69.2% respondents expected that they would be better developed and treated as professional. And desired training courses as a part of qualification for professional dental hygienists were represented by case management(services, manners, etc; 33.3%), implant(28.9%), esthetics(correction, prosthesis, whitening; 18.9%) and so on. For an item on working years, it was noted that 75.9% respondents would keep working as dental hygienists as long as they could.

The locking compression plates-distal femur(LCP-DF) are being widely used for surgical management of the extra-articular complex fractures of the distal femur. They feature locking mechanism between the screws and the screw holes of the plate to provide stronger fixation force with less number of screws than conventional compression bone plate. However, their biomechanical efficacies are not fully understood, especially regarding the number of the screws inserted and their optimal configurations. In this study, we investigated effects of various screw configurations in the shaft and the condylar regions of the femur in relation to structural stability of LCP-DF system. For this purpose, a baseline 3-D finite element (FE) model of the femur was constructed from CT-scan images of a normal healthy male and was validated. The extra-articular complex fracture of the distal femur was made with a 4-cm defect. Surgical reduction with LCP-DF and bone screws were added laterally. To simulate various cases of post-op screw configurations, screws were inserted in the shaft (3~5 screws) and the condylar (4~6 screws) regions. Particular attention was paid at the shaft region where screws were inserted either in clustered or evenly-spaced fashion. Tied-contact conditions were assigned at the bone screws-plate whereas general contact condition was assumed at the interfaces between LCP-DF and bone screws. Axial compressive load of 1,610N(2.3 BW) was applied on the femoral head to reflect joint reaction force. An average of 5% increase in stiffness was found with increase in screw numbers (from 4 to 6) in the condylar region, as compared to negligible increase (less than 1%) at the shaft regardless of the number of screws inserted or its distribution, whether clustered or evenly-spaced. At the condylar region, screw insertion at the holes near the fracture interface and posterior locations contributed greater increase in stiffness (9~13%) than any other locations. Our results suggested that the screw insertion at the condylar region can be more effective than at the shaft during surgical treatment of fracture of the distal femur with LCP-DF. In addition, screw insertion at the holes close to the fracture interface should be accompanied to ensure better fracture healing.

As a result of technical advances and industrialization, the characteristics of domestic and industrial wastes are becoming more complex. Accordingly, improved treatment and disposal systems are being continuously sought to take account of complex characteristics and to comply with economic restrictions. In this study, an application of pyrolysis to the treatment of industrial wastes, including waste scrap rubber, waste raw material used in making the slipper bottom and waste PVC pipe, and the effectiveness of pyrolysis in resource recovery from these wastes were investigated. Batches of wastes were pyrolysed by external heating to a temperature of 400-800$\circ$C in a 32 mm diameter x 0.9 m long silica tube to produce combustible gases, oils and chars. Before the start of pyrolysis runs, the entire system was purged with nitrogen gas to exclude the air. The temperature inside the retort was controlled by the thermocouple in the gas stream, and referred to as the pyrolysis temperature. Under these conditions three products were separately collected and further analyzed. The results were summarized as follows. 1. More gases and less chars were produced with higher pyrolyzing temperature and with higher rates of heating, but the yields of oils tended downwards at temperatures above 700$\circ$C. Accordingly, operating conditions of pyrolysis should be varied with desired material. 2. Calorific values and sulfur contents of produced oils were sufficient and suitable for fuel use. Chars from waste rubber had high heating values with low sulfur contents, but calorific values of chars from waste PVC and waste slipper were as low as 3, 065-4, 273 kcal/kg and 942-2, 545 kcal/kg, respectively. Therefore, char from these wastes are inappropriate for fuel. 3. Soluble contents of Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn in chars from waste rubber and waste slipper were below the Specific Hazardous Waste Treatment Standards. However soluble contents of Pb and Cd in chars from waste PVC were one or two times and five or seven times exceedingly the Specific Hazardous Waste Treatment Standards, respectively. 4. Post high heating is desirable for treatment method of waste PVC which generates toxic hydrogen chloride. 5. The proportions of hydrogen, methane and ethane in produced gases were in the range of 3.99-35.61% V/V, 18.22-32.50% V/V and 5.17-5.87% V/V, respectively. 6. Pyrolysis is a useful disposal method in case of waste slipper, which was hardly combustible, and thus investigations of this kind of materials are required for effective management of industrial waste. 7. Based upon the possible market development for products, overall pyroly economics to take account of treatment values of noncombustible or hazardous materials should be evaluated.

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) based volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for locally advanced left sided breast cancer patients undergoing radical mastectomy. DIBH immobilizes the tumor bed providing dosimetric benefits over free breathing (FB). Materials and Methods: Ten left sided post mastectomy patients were immobilized in a supine position with both the arms lifted above the head on a hemi-body vaclock. Two thermoplastic masks were prepared for each patient, one for normal free breathing and a second made with breath-hold to maintain reproducibility. DIBH CT scans were performed in the prospective mode of the Varian real time position management (RPM) system. The planning target volume (PTV) included the left chest wall and supraclavicular nodes and PTV prescription dose was 5000cGy in 25 fractions. DIBH-3DCRT planning was performed with the single iso-centre technique using a 6MV photon beam and the field-in-field technique. VMAT plans for FB and DIBH contained two partial arcs ($179^{\circ}-300^{\circ}CCW/CW$). Dose volume histograms of PTV and OAR's were analyzed for DIBH-VMAT, FB-VMAT and DIBH-3DCRT. In DIBH mode daily orthogonal ($0^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$) KV images were taken to determine the setup variability and weekly twice CBCT to verify gating threshold level reproducibility. Results: DIBH-VMAT reduced the lung and heart dose compared to FB-VMAT, while maintaining similar PTV coverage. The mean heart $V_{30Gy}$ was $2.3%{\pm}2.7$, $5.1%{\pm}3.2$ and $3.3%{\pm}7.2$ and for left lung $V_{20Gy}$ was $18.57%{\pm}2.9$, $21.7%{\pm}3.9$ and $23.5%{\pm}5.1$ for DIBH-VMAT, FB-VMAT and DIBH-3DCRT respectively. Conclusions: DIBH-VMAT significantly reduced the heart and lung dose for left side chest wall patients compared to FB-VMAT. PTV conformity index, homogeneity index, ipsilateral lung dose and heart dose were better for DIBH-VMAT compared to DIBH-3DCRT. However, contralateral lung and breast volumes exposed to low doses were increased with DIBH-VMAT.

초고층 건물이나 고가 구조물 상부의 정위치 측설에 주로 사용되어 왔던 광학식 TS장비는 시준선 확보의 어려움, 장거리 관측에 따른 오차의 증가 및 동적관측의 어려움 등으로 인하여 사용성이 많이 떨어지므로 최근에는 GPS를 이용한 측량방법이 제시되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 GPS측량방법들은 대부분 후처리 방법으로서 측설, 검측, 위치조정 및 확인측량 등 일련의 과정에서 시간이 과다 소요되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 RTK측위 기법을 적용하여 실시간으로 구조물의 위치를 검측하고 조정함으로써 측량으로 인한 공사의 중단을 최소화 하고, 준스태틱 RTK기법에 의한 고정밀의 측정값을 기반으로 망조정을 통해 수 mm 이내의 높은 정확도로 시공좌표를 결정함으로써 공정관리와 품질관리를 모두 충족시킬 수 있는 방법에 대해 실험 하였다. 실험결과 130m 이상 높이의 고가 구조물 상층부에서 사변망을 이루는 4점의 준스태틱 RTK 관측점을 최소제곱법으로 망조정 하면 약 2mm 내외의 정확도로 구조물 측설이 가능하므로 향후 초고층 건물이나 고가 교량등의 시공측량에 널리 적용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop a school-centered healthy eating environment for children in elementary care classrooms and prevent incorrect eating habits and obesity through the development and application of standardized healthy eating habit-forming educational materials. Methods: Ten schools in eight districts of Gyeonggi-do and 400 students from 19 care classes were selected. Based on the developed educational materials, the program was applied to students once in two weeks. 'Notices for Parents' forms were also sent to the students' home to educate their parents. Pre and post-surveys were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the education. The pre-education, education, and aftercare were conducted from September 28 to September 31, 2016, from October 3 to November 30, 2016, and from December 5 to December 9, 2016, respectively. Results: The healthy eating program for elementary care classes was designed to develop a school-centered healthy eating environment and provide standardized educational material for healthy eating habits. Twelve educational topics were developed: , , , , , , , , , , , and . Moreover, the materials were produced in four forms: for students, for after school caring teachers, for external specialists, and for parents. The effectiveness evaluation was conducted to confirm the application of the program. The average eating habits score was 3.3 ± 0.6, with no significant difference between before and after application. The score of overall satisfaction of the education was 3.9 ± 0.9. The most satisfying content was 'Did you get to know how to eat evenly?'. Significant increases were observed in two contents for parents regarding their children's knowledge changes after the education: 'Five nutrients needed for growing children' and 'Knowing sugar foods and sugar-containing foods'. On the other hand, their educational satisfaction was 3.6 ± 0.6, which was lower than the children's satisfaction. This might be because their education was conducted only through the 'Notices for Parents' form. Conclusions: In the long term, the healthy eating habit-formation education for lower elementary school children is expected to be beneficial. To prevent obesity and establish healthy eating habits of children, it is important to develop healthy eating education programs centered on elementary school aftercare classes, including the development of educational materials and an application system through connection with the home and community.

정비 산업은 사후정비, 예방정비를 거쳐, 상태기반 정비를 중심으로 진행되고 있다. 상태기반 정비는 장비의 상태를 파악하여, 최적 시점에서의 정비를 수행한다. 최적의 정비 시점을 찾기 위해서는 장비의 상태, 즉 잔여 유효 수명을 정확하게 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 이에, 본 논문은 시뮬레이션 데이터(C-MAPSS)를 사용한 터보팬 엔진의 잔여 유효수명(RUL, Remaining Useful Life) 예측 모델을 제시한다. 모델링을 위해 C-MAPSS(Commercial Modular Aero-Propulsion System Simulation) 데이터를 전처리, 변환, 예측하는 과정을 거쳤다. RUL 임계값 설정, 이동평균필터 및 표준화를 통해 데이터 전처리를 수행하였고, 주성분 분석(Principal Component Analysis)과 k-NN(k-Nearest Neighbor)을 활용하여 잔여 유효 수명을 예측하였다. 최적의 성능을 도출하기 위해, 5겹 교차검증기법을 통해 최적의 주성분 개수 및 k-NN의 근접 데이터 개수를 결정하였다. 또한, 사전 예측의 유용성, 사후 예측의 부적합성을 고려한 스코어링 함수(Scoring Function)를 통해 예측 결과를 분석하였다. 마지막으로, 현재까지 제시되어온 뉴럴 네트워크 기반의 알고리즘과 예측 성능 비교 및 분석을 통해 k-NN 활용 모델의 유용성을 검증하였다.

매년 해양활동이 증가하며 해양사고 발생빈도가 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 해양안전을 위한 각종 연구 활동과 정책이 실행되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 매년 해양사고가 증가하고 있어 이들의 실효성에 대한 문제가 제기되고 있다. 문헌연구 결과에 따르면, 통계연보를 활용한 선행연구는 통계제공항목 간 비교를 통해 두드러지는 항목에 대한 예방책을 제시하고 있다. 2000년대 이후에는 대형 해양사고가 반복적으로 발생하면서 '사고대응'에 대한 사례연구(case study)가 진행되고 있다. 국내 해양안전을 위한 정책수립 연구과정에서 통계연보나 사고사례를 주 자료로 활용하고 있으나 현재 자료는 사후결과 요약정도의 수준이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해양사고 사례분석 및 개선방안 관련 문헌연구를 통해 현행 해양관련 연구와 정책의 한계를 탐색하였다. 또한 자료 활용 한계를 개선하기 위한 방안의 일환으로 선박사고 상황보고서 속성분석, 텍스트 마이닝을 통해 해양사고 정보 분류체계인 온톨로지(ontology)를 수정 보완하였다. 해당 항목은 '신고자, 신고수단, 구조세력, 대응 조치사항, 대응취약성, 적재물, 유류유출경위, 피해유형, 사고처리결과'이며, 이 항목들은 분류체계 표준용어를 활용해 향후 지속적으로 수집 활용할 수 있다. 마지막으로 온톨로지를 실질적으로 활용하기 위한 데이터 수집 및 품질확보 방안을 제시했다. 결과적으로 현재 해양안전이 직면한 문제를 명확히 파악하고 '품질이 확보된 충분한 정보'를 활용한다면 보다 다양한 연구와 실효성 있는 정책 실현이 가능할 것이다.
