  • The aim of this paper is to describe a relatively recent international agreement on the widely debated concepts of: (i) attributing effects to low dose radiation exposure situations that have occurred in the past and, (ii) inferring radiation risk to situations that are planned to occur in the future. An important global consensus has been recently achieved on these fundamental issues at the level of the highest international intergovernmental body: the General Assembly of the United Nations. The General Assembly has welcomed with appreciation a scientific report on attributing health effects to radiation exposure and inferring risks that had been prepared the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) following a formal request by the General Assembly.

A Study on Offshore Wind Farm Development through a Review of Floating Offshore Wind Power Project Cases in Norway (부유식 해상풍력 개발사례를 통한 해상풍력단지 조성 방안 연구 - 노르웨이 사례를 중심으로)

  • This study focuses on proposing measures for the reasonable development of offshore wind farms using the case of Norway, which was the first nation in the world to build a floating offshore wind farm of 80 MW or more. Norwegian authorities conducted a strategic environment assessment in 2012 to select offshore wind farm sites, discovered 15 potential sites, and finally decided on two designated sites in 2020. Based on various survey data such as seabirds, marine environment, and fishing activities, scientific-based spatial analysis was conducted to select additional offshore wind farm sites in line with future development plans. In addition, a government-led steering committee and advisory group have established marine spatial plans since 2002. Therefore, it will be possible to listen to and coordinate the opinions of stakeholders by using the steering committee and advisory group for offshore wind power development. By examining the case of Norway, we suggest the following policy points that can achieve carbon neutrality and develop sustainable offshore wind farms: 1. Establish a government-led steering committee and advisory group that can select potential sites for offshore wind farms by coordinating the opinions of stakeholders 2. Induce efficient and sequential offshore wind farm development by using various survey data and scientific-based spatial analysis.

  • Recently, women astronomers have played increasingly important roles in the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Although only 18% are women across the entire membership of the IAU, currently one half of the IAU Executive Committee members are female. In fact, the previous, current, and next presidents of the IAU and many of the Division presidents are women. I will review a variety of efforts that the IAU has carried out to pursue equality and diversity in Astronomy. Also I will share my personal experience and thoughts on meritocracy as a guiding principle that governs academic integrity and scholarly power system in scientific communities in Korea.

  • The trigeminal nerve, one of the cranial nerves, innervates the maxillofacial area and has three branches: the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves. Paresthesia, due to damages to the inferior alveolar nerve and mental nerve (branches of the mandibular nerve), is quite frequent in dental implants and third molar extractions. As medical disputes are increasing, it is necessary to formulate an objective and reasonable disability evaluation. When evaluating the frequent rate of impairment for inferior alveolar nerve damage, it may be reasonable to follow the criteria for the rate of maxillofacial impairment of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) - the most scientific and reputable criteria based on the American Medical Association (AMA). Therefore, the Committee of Guides for Maxillofacial Impairment Ratings, in the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (KAOMS), is trying to suggest more reasonable and realistic guidelines for evaluating impairments by reviewing the current evaluation criteria and those of AMA and AAOMS.

  • This paper calculates protection distance to protect WiBro service from ISM(Industrial Scientific Medical) equipment which is used in the same frequency with WiBro. We analyze with a scenario that WiBro receiver is closed to ISM equipment which has interfering power of CISPR(International Special Committee on Radio Interference) 11 limit. As a result, the protection distance of 14 m was calculated by using MCL (Minimum Coupling Loss) for the worst case. And, the protection distance of 10 m was calculated to meet 5 % interference probability below by using MC(Monte Carlo) for statistic analysis in case of a interferer.

  • This paper analyzes the interference effect of ISM(Industrial Scientific Medical) equipment on WLAN in order to protect WLAN in interference environment which WLAN Station is close to ISM equipment. CISPR(International Special Committee on Radio Interference) radiation limit standard was used for interfering power of ISM equipment. Then, MCL(Minimum Coupling Loss) which is for the worst case and MC(Monte Carlo) which is based on statistic interference probability are used to get protection distance. As a result, the protection distance of 105 m was calculated by using MCL for the worst case. And, the protection distance of 17 m was calculated by using MC for statistic analysis.
