This paper studies regarding the problems of transmitting disease through food and its prevention in terms of current problematic food poisoning and the transfer of bacterial disease while providing lunch for school children. As the problems of school lunch program, the number of food poisoning and of the transfer of bacterial disease is highly increasing because of the shortcomings of systematic safety management toward food and of the lack of meal supplier's awareness about sanitation.For the prevention the following suggestions are provided:1. It is necessary to shift from the system of meal supply for nutrition to that of meal supply for health. 2. A system that offers a responsibility for nutrition to that of meal supply to a person in charge of hygienist, or a cook, including the a nutritionist, is needed. 3. It is necessary to gain the help from the department of sanitation in city or country for the sanitation guidance and inspection of school meal supply, not to totally rely on the local ministry of education. 4. A manager or employees related to school/group meal supply need to get education constantly on sanitation and public information. 5. For the long term, a systematic sanitary management needs to be accomplished by introducing HACCP system.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to improve the working environment by identifying the work satisfaction of the cleaning workers of the aircraft and measuring and assessing the harmful factors of the cleaning process. Methods: We asked 23 cleaning companies for questionnaires and got 100 answers from 5 companies. The A-E Airline health manager has been contacted to establish a site survey schedule. The in-flight and lounge were measured using direct reading equipment. The harmful factor to be measured are noise, dust, temperature, volatile organic compound, total airborne bacteria, and total airborne bacteria. Results: Uncomfortable positions when replacing blanket, cleaning the table, and cleaning the floor have been identified as factor that reduce work satisfaction. Noise when replacing newspapers and cleaning toilets has been identified as a factor that lowers work satisfaction. Temperature and humidity were found to reduce work satisfaction during in-flight disinfection. Measurements of aircraft cabin and lounge with direct read equipment have shown that none of the items exceed the exposure criteria. Conclusions: As a result of measuring direct-reading equipment, no items exceeded the exposure criteria for each harmful factor. A clear survey of the working environment is required based on the results, and additional research is needed using personal sample measurement.

Purpose: This study analyzed the information and accessibility of toxic substances provided to Internet websites. Methods: From August 1, 2020, to August 31, 2020, we analyzed eight internet websites regarding toxic pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and chemicals. The website-evaluation criteria were divided into five categories for information and five categories for website convenience. Results: All eight websites about toxic substances were hosted by reliable institutions or organizations and provided accurate information in terms of informational relevance. The website run by the Safety and Health Corporation scored the highest with 100points. Analysis of the websites' accessibility to non-members' revealed that six (75.0%) were accessible, but two (12.5%) provided only limited information. Access to information through mobile apps was only available in three of the eight cases (37.5%). Conclusion: This study can be used as a reference for Internet websites about toxic substances. Toxicological information that can be viewed only with membership and manager approval requires membership in advance of viewing. In addition, emergency medical personnel working at a site or hospital should be familiar with the characteristics of toxicity information retrieval.

To perform voluntary occupational health program in worksites, regulational supports are necessary. The regulational supports include assessment of current occupational health program and appropriate incentives. The purpose of this study is to find out the requirements of voluntary occupational health program and conditions to be improved. Study population was industrial health managers of both industries with less than 300 workers and over 300 workers, and the member of labor union who is responsible for safety and health in worksite. Two different questionnaire were used to find out the requirements and conditions to be improved respectively, The results were; 1. The category which prevalence rate of occupational injuries and occupational disease should be lower than national average was most important in health managers employed in industries over 300 workers and followed by reporting system, education, worksite policy, work environment assessment, protective equipment, consequently. But those employed in industries less than 300 workers showed high importance in prevalence rate of occupational injuries and disease, reporting system, worksite policy, work environment assessment, protective equipment, education, consequently 2. The members of labor union thought that worksite policy was most important and the next is education, reporting system, work environment assessment, protective equipment, prevalence rate of occupational injuries and disease. 3. There were difference in importance of education and worksite policy according to the size of industries. Reporting system, prevalence rate of occupational injuries and disease, and worksite policy had different importance between members of labor union and health managers. 4. In the results of quiestionnaire for conditions to be improved, the most important condition was top manager's willingness except personal protective equipments, and followed by financial support, legal support. The limitations of this study were the problems of representativeness of study population. but voluntary health program should be performed in worksites which have relatively good occupational health system. So, this selection bias could not disrupt our results.

우리나라는 2021년 기준 OECD 국가중 화학농약 사용량 3위로 농약사용의 개선이 필요하다. 특히 범국가적인 One Health 정책 관점에서 농작물에 사용되는 항생제 농약관리도 필요하다. 현재 시행중인 PLS, 판매관리인 교육 및 농약판매기록 제도들이 선정된 농약 사용의 안정성에 초점을 맞춘다면, 진단과 처방을 중심으로 한 식물의약사 제도는 농약 선정의 정확성을 높일 수 있는 제도이다. 국내 발생 병해충은 연간 1,000여종 이상이며, 하나의 고위험 병해충에 적용가능한 등록약제는 100~200개로 작용기작과 처리방법 측면에서 다양하다. 정확한 진단을 바탕으로 적합한 약제를 선정하는 처방은 수백종 이상의 병해충에 대한 전문지식과 다양한 약제에 대한 이해와 실무경험이 요구된다. 본 연구에서 농업인에 대한 설문조사 결과, 응답자중 81% 농업인이 농약구매와 사용에 대한 전문가의 도움이 필요하며, 이중 48% 농업인들은 매우 필요하다는 의견을 제시하였다. 판매관리인에 대한 설문조사 결과, 42%의 판매관리인이 진단 및 처방에 대한 전문성 강화가 절실함을 주장하였으며, 필요성을 인지하는 판매관리인도 44%로 확인되어, 전체적으로 42~86%의 판매관리인들이 진단 및 처방에 대한 전문성 강화에 관심이 있었다. 식물의약사 제도화 초기에 현장 경험이 많은 판매관리인을 제도권으로 수용할 수 있는 특별전형을 고려해야 한다. 병해충 종류별 등록된 농약의 저항성 수준을 자료화하고 효과적인 방제력을 구축하여 진단 및 처방의 정확성을 높여야 한다. 판매관리인은 식물의약사 자격을 경쟁 우의 차별화 전략으로 인식하고, 더 이상 판매관리인이 아니라 식물의약사로서 "믿음이 가는 식물의약사가 처방하는 농약"의 시장 포지셔닝을 통해 매출액 향상을 도모할 수 있다. 향후 법제화를 위한 관련법 개정, 전문성 강화 교육 커리큘럼, 자격제도 운영에 대한 실무적인 논의가 필요하다. 식물의약사 제도화를 통해 판매관리인의 전문성을 상향 평준화 함으로서 농업 현장의 병해충 진단 및 처방 기술을 선진화하고, 국민의 건강과 직결되는 합리적인 농약 사용을 위해 노력해야 한다.

To ensure the microbiological safety of food items prepared after cooking process, this study was aimed to identify the hazards related with cooked foods donated to foodbanks through quantitative microbial analysis. Five foodbanks located in Incheon and Gyeonggi area among government-dominant foodbanks were surveyed from February to June, 2007. Manager, recipient, donator, type and quantity of donated foot and facility and equipment were examined for the general characteristics of foodbank. The time and temperature of food md environment were measured at steps from after-production to before-distribution, and the microbial analysis was performed mainly with indicator organism and major pathogens. The amount of cooked foods donated to each foodbank was about 20 to 30 servings and consisted of 80% of total donated foods. Only three foodbanks had separate offices for foodbank operation and four institutions had at least one temperature-controlled vehicle. The flow of donated foods was gone through the steps; production, meal service and holding at donator, collection by foodbank, transport (or holding after transport) and distribution to recipients. It took about 3.8 to 6.5 hours at room temperature from after-production to before-distribution. Only aerobic plate counts (APC) and coliforms were found in microbial analysis. The APC after production were relatively high in $8.2{\times}10^5,\;7.4{\times}10^5,\;6.9{\times}10^5$ and $4.2{\times}10^5 CFU/g$ while $2.8{\times}10^6, \;9.4{\times}10^5,\;1.0{\times}10^6$ and $5.4{\times}10^5CFU/g$ before distribution in mixed Pimpinella brachycarpa, mixed chard mixed amaranth and mixed spinach, respectively. The levels of coliforms in mixed chard and mixed spinach were complied with the standards of the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Management The level of APC in boiled pork was increased from $< 1.0{\times}10 CFU/g$ to $4.0{\times}10^2 CFU/g$. One of delivery vessels was shown $6.2{\times}10^3 CFU/100 cm^2$ in APC, which was over the standards for environment. One of serving tables also showed the high level of $1.2{\times}10^3 CFU/100 cm^2$ in APC and $6.6{\times}10^2 CFU/100 cm^2$ in coliforms. These results suggest the sanitary management of holding at donator and the time-temperature control are key factors to ensure the safety of cooked foods donated to foodbank.

Background: The compression therapy, which is the standard treatment for lymphedema patients, may be difficult to implement and contraindicated to some patients depending on their health condition. Objects: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether kinesiology taping (KT) can be used effectively and safely in the management of lymphedema as an alternative treatment through systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: In February 2023, the literature was systematically collected through eight search engines with a combination of terms, 'lymphedema' and 'kinesiology taping.' We qualitatively analyzed the differences and safety of KT methods, and quantitatively meta-analyzed the effects of volume reduction in edema, range of motion (ROM), and pain improvement using Review Manager ver. 5. 4. To assess the risk of bias in the randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies, Risk of Bias was used. Results: A total of 616 articles searched and 20 studies were selected, including 12 RCTs and eight case studies. KT intervention could not replace multilayer compression bandage (MLB), but it demonstrated similar or better results compared to compression garment (CG), with reduced pain and improved intervention comfort. Studies reported skin adverse events ranging from 2.5% to 20.68%, with a total adverse event incidence of 7.7%. There was no significant difference in the application method of KT. As a result of the meta-analysis from the 8 RCTs, the KT intervention showed a mean difference (MD) of -7.18 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) [-12.64 to -1.72] in the volume change of lymphedema, while the pain difference was MD 0.82 with CI 95% [0.50 to 1.15], in comparison to the MLB and CG intervention. Conclusion: KT therapy led to a reduction in edema size, volume, pain, and improved ROM and quality of life. KT may be a viable option for lymphedema patients who have trouble applying traditional compression therapies.
