The purpose of this study was to establish the critical limit at CCP (Critical Control Point) of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) system for instant noodle and it was conducted at P company in Ichen(Gyeonggi-do), Korea. According to the CCP, Fried process were experimented to removal and decrease of microbiological and chemical hazards by measuring of each temperature and times. As a result, the standard plate count and pathogenic microorganism were not detected by fried processing (Temperature : $145{\pm}10^{\circ}C$, Time : $75{\pm}30$ sec). The acid value of chemical hazards produced by fried processing was able to manage, showed lower (0.2) than the legal limit (0.6). Air-borne bacterial examination results detected(3 CFU/mL, 3 CFU/mL) in the Frying Room and Steam Room. Therefore, the CCP-BC of fried process would be a great alternative to prevent and remove hazard analysis, such as general and pathogenic microorganism (E. coli O157:H7, B. cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp, Sthaph. aureus etc), chemical hazard analysis. In conclusion, it suggested that HACCP plan was necessary for management standard and systematic approach in establishement of critical limit, solving the problem, method of verification, education and records management by fried processing.

A subway system is one of the major transportation modes at a metropolitan area. When it meets the other lines, the metro station, so-called transferring station, is usually threatened by severe pedestrian congestion and safety issue of transit users including the transportation vulnerable. Although transportation planners forecast travel demand at the beginning, it is not easy to predict pedestrian flows precisely for a long term if land use plans have dramatically changed. Due to expensive costs, structural extension of metro stations is limited. Therefore, it requires efficient and technical improvements as meeting the demand of pedestrian and physical characteristics. In this study, the core mechanism of pedestrian movement-based simulation model was introduced and evacuation scenarios were analyzed with the developed model. As a result, the multiple optimal routes for unexpected events at the solid space of the multiple stories are easily searched through the simulator and in the case of Sadang Station, travel time can be reduced by 60% when the evacuation information and intuitive design are provided.

Approaching to aging society with increasing transportation vulnerable, most developed countries has positively promote low-floor bus. Such circumstance in Korea has plan to introduce low-floor bus to intra-city bus system which accounted for 30 percent of total number of buses however there is no specific operating plan for this matter. According to the revealed preference study on bus service, the study shows that the efficiency of low-floor is relatively low than that of other buses, therefore, it is necessary to establish feasible plan for bus route selection. Thus, this study is to conduct research on analyzing trip characteristics of transportation vulnerable and establish bus route selection measures for low-floor bus. The result from the survey in Jeollabuk-do Province reveals that the trip purpose of transportation vulnerable is mainly for welfare and medical service, which was made less than 6 times a week. Futhermore, 37.6 percent of transportation vulnerable use buses, thus, it is essential to improve its service quality for enhancing user's convenience and safety. In that transportation vulnerable O-D needs to be established and forecasts future demand for selecting optimal bus route. According to the estimation, route passing through densely populated areas with transportation vulnerable should take the first priority, city circular and other route would be next. Moreover, it is economically efficient that areas populated more than 200,000 with fixed route and less than 200,000 with limited route responsive to demands would be feasible plans. This study will have greater an impact on transportation planning and further research on transportation vulnerable.

Purpose: Cultivator accidents are frequent and often lead to abdomino-perineal organ injury and, if severe, to death. This study presents the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and factors associated with mortality in patients who sustained an abdomino-perineal organ injury in cultivator accidents. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of 53 patients who visited the emergency department of a tertiary hospital with abdomino-perineal organ injuries caused in cultivator accidents from April 2005 to March 2010. Results: All 53 patients had visited other medical institutions before visiting our hospital. Their mean age was $64.0{\pm}11.1$ (range, 20-80) years and 32 (60.4%) patients were 65 or older. The male-to-female ratio was 46:7. The chief complaint was abdominal pain (38 cases, 71.7%). The 53 patients included 41 cultivator operators (77.4%), 11 passengers (20.8%), and 1 passerby (1.9%). The causes of the injuries included a direct impact of the handlebar in 20 cases (37.7%), a rollover in 21 cases (39.6%), a fall in 10 cases (18.9%), and a wheel in two cases (3.8%). Several of the 53 patients had injuries to multiple abdomino-perineal organs, and the injured organs included the liver (23 cases, 26.4%), spleen (16 cases, 18.4%), pancreas (7 cases, 8.0%), small bowel (7 cases, 8.0%), mesentery (6 cases, 6.9%), adrenal gland (5 cases, 5.8%), and other organs. According to the abbreviated injury scale (AIS) dictionary, a thoracic injury was the most frequent co-injury (33 of 53 cases, 62.3%). Abdomino-perineal surgery was performed in 31 cases (58.8%) and angio-embolization was performed for six liver and two kidney injuries. Thirteen patients died (24.5%); all were males. The Injury Severity Scale (ISS) was lower in the survivors ($17.8{\pm}8.5$ vs. $27.0{\pm}16.0$; p=0.010). Conclusion: With the aging of agricultural workers, safety education programs should be implemented. Furthermore, the patient transfer system in agricultural areas must be improved.

In this study, we wanted to analyze the causes of food poisoning and its major occurrence in September 2018 and analyze the relevance of the HACCP certification system to report the correlation. Based on three-year food poisoning cases and causative substances data, and big data on HACCP certification companies and food poisoning frequency, Hygiene 1: 'Salmonella would have spread through school food processing medium.' Hypothesis 2: The difference in the number of food poisoning cases in the last three years as the number of HACCP certifier increases, the number of food poisoning cases will be verified and the cause of food poisoning in September 2018. Studies show that the food poisoning in September 2018 was caused by salmonella bacteria and that outsourced food provided through school meals was the cause. It was also shown that the expansion of HACCP certification did not significantly contribute to the reduction of food poisoning. Therefore, the management operation measures were proposed as a solution to prevent salmonella and to become HACCP certification that could reduce food poisoning.

Tests using a middle velocity propulsion impact machine (MVPIM) were performed to verify the impact resistance capability of sandwich concrete panels (SCP) in a modular liquefied natural gas (LNG) outer tank, and numerical models were constructed and analyzed. $2{\times}2m$ specimens with plain sectional characteristics and specimens including a joint section were used. A 51 kg missile was accelerated above 45 m/s and impacted to have the design code kinetic energy. Impact tests were performed twice according to the design code and once for the doubled impact speed. The numerical models for simulating impact behaviors were created by LS-DYNA. The external steel plate and filled concrete of the panel were modeled as solid elements, the studs as beam elements, and the steel plates as elasto-plastic material with fractures; the CSCM material model was used for concrete. The front plate deformations demonstrated good agreement with those of other tests. However the rear plate deformations were less. In the doubled speed test for the plain section specimen, the missile punctured both plates; however, the front plate was only fractured in the numerical analysis. The impact energy of the missile was transferred to the filled concrete in the numerical analysis.

하천 시설물은 홍수시 혹은 비상시 운영할 수 있는 경보시스템이나 관리지침 등의 마련이 필수적임에도 불구하고, 현재까지 가동보 시설물에 대한 비상시 운영 메뉴얼 및 경보시스템이 구축되지 못한 실정이다. 4대강 살리기 사업이나 하천정비사업과 같은 대표적인 하천관련 사업에서 단순한 하천 이 치수 목적뿐만 아니라 소수력 발전, 친수공간조성 등의 다목적 활용을 위하여 가동보 설치 사업이 다수 수행되었으며, 현재 국내 하천에 약 1,200여개의 가동보가 설치 운영되고 있다. 이와 같이 다목적 활용을 위하여 가동보의 수요가 급증하는데 반해, 각 설치 현장 상황에 적합한 가동보 운영지침이나 비상경보시스템이 구축되지 못한 실정이며, 적절한 지침 없이 관행적인 가동보 방류로 인한 물놀이 안전사고나 인명피해가 속출하고 있는 실정이다. 2012년 11월에는 하천 제수변 공사를 위해 전주천에 설치한 가동보를 임시적으로 방류하였는데, 하류측의 안전을 확인하지 않고 관행적으로 가동보를 방류하였고, 경보시스템의 부재로 인하여 가동보 하류측 징검다리를 건너는 유치원생들이 급류에 휩쓸리는 사고가 발생하였고, 최근 2014년 5월에는 수원시에 위치한 원천저수지 여수로 둑에 설치된 가로 34m 높이 1.6m 크기의 가동보가 공기압축기의 오작동으로 인하여 보 높이가 낮아지면서 약 30분 원천저수지 하류의 원천리천에 갑자기 무리 불어나 산책로가 침수되고 인근에 산책하던 주민들이 휩쓸려 떠내려가는 사고가 발생하였다. 해외에서도 가동보 운영 미숙으로 인하여 인명사고가 발생하는데, 2008년 11월 호주에서는 하류측 상황 점검이나 경고 방송 없이 가동보를 도복시켜 4살 여아가 급류에 사망하는 사고가 발생하였다. 국외의 경우에는, 상류측 홍수 수위나 하류측 역류 수위를 조절하기 위하여 가동보의 높이를 제어하는 시스템을 구비하고 있지만 이러한 시스템 역시 단순한 수위조절 기능으로서 가동보의 방류량을 제어하지 못하는 실정이다. 가동보를 운영하기 위한 조작시스템은 국내의 경우, 조작실의 조작판넬을 이용하여 가동보의 기립/도복 조작이나 원격 조작 기능과 같은 단순기능만을 구비하고 있어 가동보 방류시 하류측의 범람 피해를 야기하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가동보 방류에 의한 하류측 범람 피해를 최소화하기 위하여 (1) 가동보 도복에 의한 방류량 산정 알고리즘을 개발하고, (2) 방류량에 따른 하류측 수위상승 범위 예측 기법을 개발하고, (3) 가동보 도복 속도를 제어하는 방류량 제어시스템을 개발하고, (4) 가동보 방류에 의한 비상경보시스템을 개발하였다.

Changes in the amount, intensity, frequency, and type of precipitation, in conjunction with global warming and climate change, critically impact groundwater recharge and associated groundwater level fluctuations. Monthly gravity levels by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) are acquired to monitor total water storage changes at regional and global scales. However, there are inherent difficulties in quantitatively relating the GRACE observations to groundwater level data due to the difficulties in spatially representing groundwater levels. Here three local interpolation methods (kriging, inverse distance weighted, and natural neighbor) were implemented to estimate the areal distribution of groundwater recharge changes in South Korea during the 2002-2016 period. The interpolated monthly groundwater recharge changes are compared with the GRACE-derived groundwater storage changes. There is a weak decrease in the groundwater recharge changes over time in both the GRACE observations and groundwater measurements, with the rate of groundwater recharge change exhibiting mean and median values of -0.01 and -0.02 cm/month, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to discuss the required items and feasibility of medical records of radiological examinations performed by radiological technologists at medical institutions. An online survey was conducted to a total of 10,000 radiation-related workers, of which 1,026 (10.3%) responded. As a research method, self-made questionnaires were used. The online survey was conducted from September 10 to September 20, 2021 for the survey period. For response data, a Chi-square test was performed according to demographic characteristics using SPSS 27.0 version (IBM Inc., Chicago, Ill, USA), and it was judged to be significant when the P value was less than 0.05. The reliability of the questionnaire response was found to be Chronbach α=0.933. More than 90% of the medical records related to radiological examinations are necessary, and they answered that a curriculum, remuneration curriculum, and legal system for medical records should be prepared. More than 90% of the respondents agreed with the proposal of the Radiological Technologist Independent Act for legal preparation, and most of the information required for medical records is currently recorded in DICOM images. According to the demographic characteristics, the medical record requirement for radiological examination, curriculum, continuing education, and legislation were found to be higher with higher education and higher with longer working experience. In addition, most of the radiology departments showed a high demand for medical records, so most of them responded positively to the medical records requirements for radiological examinations. This study analyzed the medical record requirements for radiological examinations, and as shown in the results, medical record requirements for radiological examinations was found that most radiological technologists felt need for the new law and supported it. In addition, if the information recorded in the DICOM image is used, it is considered that medical records could be easily prepared without additional work by the radiological technologists.
