In this paper we introduce preventative and diagnostic systems developed to prevent substations from accidental fault of electric power transmitting apparatus. We propose monitoring and diagnostic system for ultra high voltage GIS and main transformer of 765kV substations as an example of preventative and diagnostic techniques being applied in Korea. We also present a guideline to construct and manage an expert system for this purpose. Finally, an engineering solution as a substation management support system is proposed.

Total joint arthroplasty is a successful joint replacement treatment that improves joint function and overall quality of life and provides pain relief. However, the prevalence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has become prevalent with the rise in the incidence of arthroplasty surgery. PJI occurs rarely following arthroplasty however presents with serious complications, including high morbidity. The identification of causative microorganisms is essential for the treatment of PJI. Managing PJI requires complex treatment strategies, including long-term antibacterial treatment, and significant medical costs can be incurred. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Surgical Care Improvement Project guidelines recommend that prophylactic antibiotics such as first-generation cephalosporins be infused completely 1 hour before surgical incision. However, these preventative antibiotics are very limited, therefore risk factors must be identified to diagnosis and treat patients effectively. Moreover, determining antimicrobial susceptibility during artificial joint surgery and choosing the most appropriate treatment strategy following an accurate diagnosis of microbial infections are essential. In the present review, we describe the management, including the etiology, diagnosis, and classification of PJI, and approaches to its diagnosis using the available novel molecular diagnostic methods.

The purposes of this study are to compare data for work-related musculoskeletal disorders(WMSDs) between Korea and USA, and to investigate status of WMSDs for industrial safety managers. The first part of this study was based on statistical data annually published by Minister of Labor of Korea and Bureau of Labor Statistics of USA. The latter was performed by using questionnaire survey for industrial safety managers in two regions. The results showed that the WMSDs incidence rate was significantly lower in Korea than in USA, and that there is big difference in the distribution of occupational illness by category of illness between Korea and USA. The questionnaire survey revealed that knowledge level about WMSDs was significantly affected depending upon corresponding companies' location and size, and that the low back pain was the most prevalent illness among varying WMSDs symptoms, followed by tendonitis/tenosynovitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow. Based on this study, it is recommended that the future education/training for WMSDs focus on their preventative measures, methods/tools for identifying their risk factors, and diagnostic criteria for judging suspicious symptoms for industrial accidents, and that the governmental policy for WMSDs be changed towards financial supporting for preventive facilities, establishing objective diagnostic criteria and training for WMSDs.

In order to improve the quality of electricity in large scale power systems, stability of power system has to be achieved. This can be done by the means of preventative diagnosis of power equipments and protection, monitoring and control of the power system. Since the recent adoption of digital controllers, an improvement in stability was observed; in particular, IED, which contained self-diagnostic abilities such as fault tolerance, allowed for automatic recovery via redundancy or switching-over functions should there be faults with the equipments. Furthermore, communication lines have been hugely simplified, thus adding to the improvement in stability significantly. Taking these error reports and forecasting emergency reports and by effectively responding to them in the overiding controlling systems, high levels of system stability can be obtained. Power Management System that is being applied to automated power sub-stations, takes the IEC61850 international standard as its specification. In this paper, additional research into achieving stability of already developed PMS system and also the stability of the overall system was carried out, and the results of development of communication servers, which play a pivotal role in connecting systems, are stated.

Background: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a major preventable occupational health problem with 250 million people worldwide known to have disabling impairment of moderate to greater severity. The aims of the study are to estimate the prevalence of NIHL in the police force; and study its association with age, sex, duration of service (years), smoking and alcohol habits, use of hearing protective devices, as well as preexisting chronic diseases. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 543 police personnel who had undergone periodic medical examination over a 12-month period. The diagnostic criteria for NIHL were (1) history of occupational noise exposure, (2) bilateral hearing loss, (3) hearing loss of ${\geq}25dBA$ at 4,000 Hz in two consecutive audiograms, and (4) no significant medical history affecting hearing. Severity of NIHL was based on the World Health Organization grading. Results: Males (74.8%) made up the majority of the police force. The mean age for police personnel was $35.55{\pm}9.57years$, and the mean duration of service was $14.75{\pm}9.39years$. Compliance with the usage of hearing protective devices was seen in 64.4%. The prevalence of NIHL in this study population was 34.2%, with a higher prevalence in males (37.7%) than in females (23.9%). The study also showed strong associations between NIHL and male sex (odds ratio, 1.9; P < 0.05), and hypertension (odds ratio, 3.3; P < 0.001). Overall, 93% were found to have mild NIHL, 3.5% had moderate NIHL, and 3.5% had severe NIHL. No police personnel were found to have profound hearing loss. Conclusion: The prevalence of NIHL in this study is high compared to other similar studies among police personnel. This study shows that increasing age, male, presence of hypertension, diabetes, and longer duration of service are significant associated factors for NIHL. Preventative strategies include health surveillance, implementation of a hearing conservation program, and legislation.

치아 우식증의 발생과 관련된 분야에 대한 연구는 지난 20년간 활발히 진행되어 괄목할만한 발전을 이루었다. 그러나 치아 우식증의 원천적인 예방을 이루기 위해서는 보다 새로운 실험 장비와 기구를 이용한 다각적인 연구가 요구되며, 이러한 흐름에 부응하여 미국의 인디아나 치과대학을 중심으로 초기 법랑질 우식증에 관한 재조명이 집중적으로 이루어지고 있다. 또한 세계적으로 치과계의 지속적인 대민 교육과 홍보 및 불소화사업 등의 우식 예방에 대한 노력과 구강 보건에 대한 대중의 인식 향상을 통해 치아 우식증이 감소하는 추세에 있으며, 이로 인해 치아 우식증이 기존의 교합면보다 인접면에서 더 많이 발견되는 추세로 변화되고 있다. 치아 우식증의 조기 진단을 목적으로 새로운 진단 장비들이 속속 개발되고 있으며 이미 성능의 우수성이 실험실 연구를 통해 입증된 바 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 초기 인접면 우식증의 진단에 있어 새로 개발된 $DIFOTI^{TM}$ 시스템의 효능을 기존의 방법인 시진 및 교익방사선사진과 비교 평가하고, 임상 적용시의 문제점을 파악하여 차후 $DIFOTI^{TM}$ 시스템 개발에 필요한 개선안을 제시함과 아울러 치아 우식증의 예방 및 불소를 이용한 초기 우식증 재광화 방법에 대한 기초 연구 자료를 마련하고자하였다. 학동기 연령에 있는 유치 탈락 시기에 근접한 것으로 기대되는 23명의 아동을 대상으로 구강 검진 2회, 구치부 교익 방사선 필름 판독 2회 그리고 전치부 및 구치부 $DIFOTI^{TM}$ 이미지 판독 2회를 실시하고 각 방법에 대한 신뢰도 평가를 시행한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 구강 검진시 검사자간 신뢰도는 교합면에서 평균 0.8470으로 가장 높았으며, 근심면 평균 0.6430, 원심면 평균 0.5727, 설면 평균 0.2807 그리고 협면 평균 0.2339순으로 나타났다. 구치부에 국한시킨 경우 교합면에서는 평균 0.8577이었으며, 원심면 평균 0.8211, 설면 평균 0.7728, 협면 평균 0.7152, 근심면 평균 0.6782 순으로 나타났다. 2. 구치부 교익 방사선 사진 판독 결과에 대한 검사자간 신뢰도는 교합면 평균 0.8346, 근심면 평균 0.8675, 원심면 평균 0.8482 순으로 나타났다. 3. $DIFOTI^{TM}$ 이미지 판독 결과에 대한 검사자간 신뢰도는 교합면 평균 0.8437, 협면 평균 8379, 근심면 평균 0.8223, 설면 평균 0.7766, 원심면 평균 0.6781 순으로 나타났다. 4. 치아 우식증 진단율을 비교한 결과 교합면, 협면, 설면에서는 $DIFOTI^{TM}$ 이미지 판독이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 근심면과 원심면에서는 방사선 판독이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05).
