본 연구는 미국 외부공간의 지속가능성 인증지표 가운데 물과 토양 및 식생 평가항목의 필수 및 핵심지표를 심층적으로 검토하여 우리나라의 관련 법 제도적 지침과 기준의 관점에서 비교, 고찰함으로써 실제적인 적용을 위한 관련 내용과 절차, 시사점을 도출하였다. 미국 외부공간의 지속가능성 인증시스템의 경우에 관련된 법제도적 지침 및 기준과 연계되어 있으나 시행의 절차는 민간차원의 독립된 평가시스템으로서 생태계 서비스의 핵심요소인 물과 토양+식생 평가항목의 경우 자연지반의 보전을 전제로 지속가능한 물 순환 및 자생식물의 보전과 활용을 위한 표준화된 정량적 기준의 적용이 특징적이었다. 반면 우리나라의 경우 국가차원의 법 제도적 절차에 따른 녹색건축의 인증기준의 한 부문으로서 생태면적율 제도는 인공녹지의 조성을 통한 어메니티자원 확보 차원, 그리고 물 순환관리시스템의 미흡 등으로 매우 제한된 역할에 머물러 있는 수준이었다. 따라서 국가차원에서 다양한 토지의 용도 및 개발사업 유형에 따른 물순환과 자연지반의 토양 및 식생의 조성관리를 기반으로 한 통합적이고 실효성 있는 외부 공간의 지속가능성 평가체계 구축이 매우 시급한 것으로 판단되었다.

While the influence of healthcare accreditation system to the quality improvement of hospitals has more increased, regarding the preparation costs for healthcare accreditation, it has never been empirically studied about the costs that are actually invested by hospitals. This study is going to determine the difficulties in the preparation process of accreditation and details of accreditation preparation costs for hospitals that participated in the healthcare accreditation system and acquired accreditation. The survey was performed in a self-reported form from February 28 to March 21 2014 for 189 acute hospitals accredited as a hospital from 2011 to February 2014. Of all questionaries of survey participants, 98 were recovered; the response rate was 51.9%. A total of 40 questionnaires were used except for 58 containing insincere answers. Main findings are followings: Firstly, findings showed that advanced general hospitals spent the most statistically significantly highest in terms of equipments and total costs among cost items for accreditation preparation. When accreditation preparation costs items were classified according to classification of hospitals, advanced general hospitals spent the most statistically significantly highest in the equipments and total costs. Also in terms of regional, Gyeonggi, Incheon regions were found to spend statistically significantly higher costs in the equipments costs. Secondly, as a result of the survey in the distribution of the total accreditation preparation costs, advanced general hospitals have disbursed the most out of all. However, the result in hospitals does not show significant difference to the expense of advanced general hospitals and that especially other regional hospitals spent higher costs. As such, all hospitals are under a heavy burden of higher costs on accreditation preparation, especially hospitals. The build-up of infrastructures by hospitals through an accreditation system consequently led to a higher initial investment; if the accreditation system is effective in improving the quality of health care and patient safety, appropriate responses are needed. In other words, financial support for investment costs needs to be given to allow hospitals to actively participate in the accreditation system.

Objective: South Korea still lacks systematic national poisoning data collection or a poison control center (PC). The objectives of this study are to provide estimates of poisoning incidents in South Korea and to stress the necessity of a national poisoning surveillance framework managed by a national PC. Method: The number of poisoning incidents was estimated based on the 2018 annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers' National Poison Data System (NPDS). Our estimation of poisoning data was classified according to age group, reason for poison exposure, and case management site. Results: Total poisoning cases estimated numbered 326,636, which is tantamount to 631 cases per 100 thousand. Poisoning cases among those younger than five years old accounted for 71.7% in the United States. Fatal poisoning cases were estimated to be 210.63 (95% CI: 199.70-222.15). Non-intentional poisoning cases (250,378 cases, 95% CI: 249,992-250,764, 76.7%) were estimated to be far higher than intentional cases (62,399 cases, 95% CI: 62,207-62,593, 19.1%). Conclusion: Our results can be used to suggest the necessity of producing national poisoning data and establishing a PC despite the uncertainty of estimation.

Purpose: The small-scale environmental impact assessment system in Korea was introduced and implemented in August 2000, but it has a problem that it cannot guarantee implementation due to the large proportion of qualitative reduction measures for each evaluation item. Therefore, when preparing a small-scale environmental impact assessment, research was conducted on how to improve the existing simple listing-type reduction measures and qualitative evaluation standards to quantitative reduction measures and evaluation standards reflecting regional characteristics. Research design, data and methodology: The small-scale environmental impact assessment system in Korea was introduced and implemented in August 2000, but it has a problem that it cannot guarantee implementation due to the large proportion of qualitative reduction measures for each evaluation item. Therefore, when preparing a small-scale environmental impact assessment, research was conducted on how to improve the existing simple listing-type reduction measures and qualitative evaluation standards to quantitative reduction measures and evaluation standards reflecting regional characteristics. Results: As a result of the analysis of qualitative and quantitative factors, the arithmetic sum of the qualitative factors of the total six projects is 160, accounting for 80% of the total number of reduction measures, and the quantitative factors are 40, accounting for 20%. Among them, the number of qualitative reduction measures reached 97.4% for animal and plant items, and more than 90% for air quality, noise and vibration, and eco-friendly resource circulation items. Conclusions: Therefore, it is necessary to avoid establishing qualitative reduction measures and set quantitative measures as the basis, but to specify the specifications, size, and installation location related to the reduction measures, and to calculate the numerical reduction efficiency.

In order to reduce damages to major railroad components, which have the potential to cause interruptions to railroad services and safety accidents and to generate unnecessary maintenance costs, the development of rolling stock maintenance technology is switching from preventive maintenance based on the inspection period to predictive maintenance technology, led by advanced countries. Furthermore, to enhance trust in accordance with the speedup of system and reduce maintenances cost simultaneously, the demand for fault diagnosis and prognostic health management technology is increasing. The objective of this paper is to propose a highly reliable learning model using various machine learning algorithms that can be applied to critical rolling stock components. This paper presents a model for railway rolling stock component fault diagnosis and conducts a mechanical failure diagnosis of motor components by applying the machine learning technique in order to ensure efficient maintenance support along with a data preprocessing plan for component fault diagnosis. This paper first defines a failure diagnosis model for rolling stock components. Function-based algorithms ANFIS and SMO were used as machine learning techniques for generating the failure diagnosis model. Two tree-based algorithms, RadomForest and CART, were also employed. In order to evaluate the performance of the algorithms to be used for diagnosing failures in motors as a critical railroad component, an experiment was carried out on 2 data sets with different classes (includes 6 classes and 3 class levels). According to the results of the experiment, the random forest algorithm, a tree-based machine learning technique, showed the best performance.

The toxicity test of ammonium persulfate was conducted to ensure of its potential toxic effects according to the single-dose acute oral toxicity study (OECD Guideline 423) and 90-day repeated dose sub-chronic oral toxicity study guideline (OECD Guideline 408) for establishing national chemical management system, and matching in the Globally Harmonized Classification System (GHS) category. In acute oral toxicity study, pasty stool, perineal contamination and temporary body weight decrease were observed after dosing 1st and 2nd challenge (300 mg/kg body weight). All test animals were dead within 6 hours after dosing at 3rd challenge (2000 mg/kg body weight). Therefore, the GHS class of test substance is considered class 4. In sub-chronic toxicity study, body weight changes, food consumptions, hematological, biochemical and pathological examination did not show any noticeable and significant differences between the administered (5, 20, 80 mg/kg body weight) and control (vehicle only) group animals. Based on these results, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) is considered above 80 mg/kg body weight.

Recently, there have been many research on fever management using u-healthcare technology. Especially, fever of infants requires continuous monitoring of body temperature by parents. For infants between 4 weeks and under 5 years old, it is recommended to use an electronic thermometer or chemical thermometer in the axilla, or to use an infrared thermometer. However, in order to overcome the reality of not being able to waste significant time on continuous monitoring, there have been demands of patch type thermometers with the internet of things (IoT) and wireless communication technologies. Existing IoT thermometers are difficult to attach to infants' body because they do not take into account its size, and their interoperability is not guaranteed because they do not comply with standards in communication. Therefore, in this study, a patch-type thermometer with a diameter of 20 mm and a weight of 2.9 g was developed to manage the fever of infants, while it communicates wirelessly with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication protocol and complies with IEEE 11073 PHD(Personal Health Device) at the same time. We verified its performance under the requirements of thermometers regulated by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

배터리는 휴대폰, 전기자동차, 무인잠수정 등과 같은 분야에서는 주 동력원으로 사용되고, 일반 자동차에서는 시동기 또는 램프구동용으로 사용되며, 일반 선박에서는 비상전원으로 사용되고 있다. 2차 전지로는 납축전지와 리튬이온 배터리를 많이 사용하고 있으며, 납축전지는 가격이 비교적 저렴하고 안전하다. 리튬이온전지는 에너지 밀도가 높고 출력이 우수하며 수명이 긴 장점이 있으나 공기 중의 수분과 반응하여 폭발의 위험성을 가지고 있다. 그러나 최근에는 방수, 방염, 방진 기술의 발달에 힘입어 리튬배터리의 사용이 증가하고 있고, 특히 하이브리드 선박 및 전기추진 선박 등의 주동력원으로 사용될 만큼 그 사용범위가 점점 넓어지고 있으므로 좀 더 엄격한 배터리의 관리가 필요하다. 하이브리드 선박에서는 500kWh 이상의 대용량 동력원을 만들기 위하여 셀(Cell) 단위로 이루어진 수십 개의 리튬배터리가 들어 있는 팩들로 접속이 된 전원을 사용한다. 따라서 배터리 점검에 필요한 검출 전압, 전류 및 온도 데이터들을 관리용 서버로 보내 주는 유선 점검 및 감시시스템을 구현하는 데에는 많은 전선과 통신 모듈이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 직렬통신 모듈보다 가격이 저렴하고 전선을 사용하지 않는 저 전력 블루투스(Bluetooth low energy, BLE) 무선통신 모듈과 전력선 모뎀을 사용하여 하이브리드 선박용 리튬배터리 저가형 점검 및 감시시스템을 구현하고자 한다. 배터리의 점검요소에는 잔존용량(State of charge, SOC)과 잔존수명(State of health, SOH)이 있으며, 제안한 시스템은 이들을 규칙적으로 점검하여 배터리의 수명 예측과 예방 정비를 할 수 있기 때문에 안전사고를 방지할 수 있을 것으로 전망된다.
