본 연구는 부산지역의 먼지 농도와 황사발원지의 기후학적 요소를 주기분석 함으로써 부산지역의 먼지농도 주기에 영향을 주는 기후학적 조건, 특히 황사 발생과의 관련성에 대하여 고찰하였다. 부산지역에서 관측된 먼지 농도 시계열 자료를 이용한 단일스펙트럼분석을 수행한 결과 배출량이나 강수 효과 등에 의해 나타난 일반적인 주기(1년, 7일) 이외에, 상대적으로 3-4년 주기가 우세하게 나타났으며, 먼지 농도와 부산지역의 기상자료 및 황사발원지에서의 풍속과의 교차스펙트럼 분석을 통한 주기 분석을 수행해 본 결과, 3-4년 주기일 때 먼지농도와 풍속, 기압은 양의 상관관계, 기온, 상대습도와는 각각 음의 상관관계가 나타났다. 이는 황사 발생 조건과 잘 부합되는 것으로 나타나, 3-4년의 먼지 농도 주기는 황사의 장거리 수송과 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 황사 발생은 발원지의 지표 상태에 따라 발생빈도가 달라지므로, 여러 기후학적 요소들 중 황사발원지에서의 강수량과의 주기 분석을 수행해 본 결과, 발원지에서의 강수량 그 자체보다는 발원지에서의 가뭄지수(EDI)의 시계열이 우리나라 먼지 농도의 3-4년 주기와 더 연관이 있는 것으로 나타났고 이는 기후학적으로 황사 발원지에서의 지표건조 특성의 변동성과 연관이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was conducted to assess the current status of food safety/sanitation training programs, including HACCP, for kitchen and hall employees at major hotels, as well as how differently the training can affect the employees' recognition and performance of food safety/sanitation management in areas related to the facility, food, and their personal hygiene. A questionnaire for assessing the recognition and performance of sanitation management was developed and distributed to 430 employees currently working in the kitchens and halls of 5 hotels located in Seoul, Korea. A total of 324 questionnaires (kitchen: 138, hall: 186) were subjected to frequency analysis, chi-square tests, one way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis using SPSS/windows software. Ninety-one percent of the respondents had received food safety/sanitation training, which was conducted by a hygienist or a cook once a month. However, only 55% of the respondents had HACCP training. The employees that did not have HACCP training had lower recognition scores than those who had HACCP training, especially in the washing procedures for tablewares, handwashing tools, cross contamination, reheating, and HACCP definitions. Trained, full-time employees received significantly higher recognition and performance scores than untrained, contract, or part-time employees. Significant differences in the recognition and performance scores were found among the employees of the 5 different hotels, indicating various levels for the outcome of their sanitation training. In addition, Pearson's correlation analysis confirmed that the recognition and performance scores were significantly correlated (r=0.473, p<.001). This study indicates that hotel foodservice employees must receive systematic food safety/sanitation training, including HACCP, which provides the foundation for safe foodservice operations.

Objective: We analyzed the association between regional weather and temporal changes on the daily occurrence of trauma emergencies and their severity. Methods: In this cross-sectional prospective study, we investigated daily atmospheric patterns in trauma episodes in 1,344 patients in Cheongju city, South Korea, from January 2016 to December 2016 and analyzed the association of trauma occurrence and Injury Severity Scores (ISS) with weather conditions on a daily scale. Results: The mean age of trauma patients was $53.0{\pm}23.8years$ and average ISS was $9.0{\pm}2.0$. Incidence of trauma was positively correlated with average temperature (r=0.512, P<0.001) and atmospheric pressure (r=0.332, P=0.010) and negatively correlated with air pollutants (particulate matter less than $2.5{\mu}m^3$ [PM2.5], r=-0.629, P<0.001; particulate matter less than $10{\mu}m^3$ [PM10], r=-0.679, P<0.001). ISS was not significantly correlated with climate parameters and air pollutants, and variability was observed in the frequency and severity of trauma by time of day (highest occurrence, 16-20 pm; highest ISS, 4-8 am), day of the week (highest occurrence and highest ISS, Saturday), month of the year (highest occurrence, July; highest ISS, November), and season (highest incidence, summer; highest ISS, autumn). Conclusion: The study shows a positive relationship between trauma occurrence and specific weather conditions, such as atmospheric temperature and pressure. There was a negative relationship between concentrations of PM2.5 or PM10, and trauma occurrence. However, no correlation was observed between weather conditions or the concentrations of air pollutants and ISS. In addition, seasonal, circaseptan, and circadian variations exist in trauma occurrence and severity. Thus, we suggest that evaluation of a larger, population-based data set is needed to further investigate and confirm these relationships.

We carried out a validation-calibration study of the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) that we had previously developed for a community-based cohort of the Korean Genome and Health Study of the Korea National Genome Research Institute. We have collected a total of 254 3-day diet records (DRs) from 400 subjects, 200 each randomly selected from the two study cohorts of Ansung and Ansan. FFQ was administered at the time of cohort recruitment in 2001, and DRs were collected during a two month period from January through February of 2002. The mean age was 52.2 years. Farming for men and housewife for women were the most common occupations. The majority of the subjects had undergone 6∼12 years of education. The general characteristics including demographic and other data were not different from the total cohort subjects. Absolute levels of consumed nutrients including total energy (energy), protein, fat, carbohydrate, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, iron, retinol, carotene, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin C were compared. The average of energy intake was not significantly different between the data collected by the 2 methods. However, consumptions of protein and fat were higher in data of DRs, whereas that of carbohydrate was higher in FFQ data. Significant correlation of each nutrient consumption between the data sets was observed (p ＜ 0.05) except in the case of iron, while the average correlation coefficient between them was 0.22 ranging from 0.33 for energy to 0.11 for iron. The results of cross classification by quantile for exact classification ranged from 25.2% (carotene) to 35.0% (phosphorus), and from 64.6% (vitamin A) to 76.4% (retinol) for adjacent classification. The proportion of completely opposite classification was 8.1% in average. Calibration slope was estimated by regression and calibration parameters ranged from 0.025 for carotene to 0.423 for niacin. We conclude that the FFQ we have developed is an appropriate tool for assessing the nutrient intakes as ranking exposures in epidemiology studies in view that amounts of consumed nutrients obtained by FFQ were similar to those collected by DRs, that correlations between consumed nutrients collected by these methods were significant, and that classification results were relatively fair. The correlation coefficients, however, were lower than expected, which may be mainly due to the survey season. In fact, any short-term dietary survey cannot accurately reflect the overall dietary intakes that change heavily depending on seasons. Further studies including the analysis of chemical indices would be helpful for the studies of causal relationship between the diet and disease.

Background: The commonly held view of the tumor suppressor p53 is as a regulator of cell proliferation, apoptosis and many other biological processes as well as external and internal stress responses. Mdm2 SNIP309 is a negative regulator of p 53. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the correlation between the patterns of Mdm2 SNIP 309 and the inflammation grading of Helicobacter pylori associated gastritis in a Thai population. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out from November 2014 through June 2015. Biopsy specimens were obtained from infected patients and infection was proved by positive histology. The gastric mucosa specimens were sent to the Molecular Genetic Unit, Institute of Medicine, Suranaree University of Technology where they were tested by molecular methods to detect the patterns of Mdm2 SNIP 309 using the real-time PCR hybridization probe method. The results were analyzed and compared with the Updated Sydney classification. Results: A total of 100 infected patients were interviewed and gastric mucosa specimens were collected. In this study the percentage of Mdm2 SNIP 309 T/T homozygous and Mdm2 SNIP309 G/T heterozygous was 78% and 19 % respectively whereas Mdm2 SNIP309 G/G homozygous was 3%. Mdm2 SNIP 309 T/T homozygous and Mdm2 SNIP309 G/T heterozygous correlated with mild to moderate inflammation (P<0.01) whereas Mdm2 SNIP309 G/G homozygous correlated with severe inflammation (P<0.01). Conclusions: Our study found the frequency of Mdm2 SNP309 G/G in our Thai population to be very low, and suggests that this can explain to some extent the low incidence of severe inflammation and gastric cancer changes in the Thai population. Mild to moderate inflammation are the most common pathologic gradings due to the unique genetic polymorphism of Mdm2 SNIP 309 in the Thai population.

Background: The rise in telecommuting or non-face-to-face work owing to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has fueled conversations regarding the "right to disconnect." Although evidence suggests that receiving work-related communications through telecommunication devices outside of work hours may lead to various symptoms and illnesses, limited research has been undertaken on these symptoms. This study therefore aims to investigate the correlation between receiving work communications through telecommunication devices after work hours and the occurrence of work-related headaches and eyestrain in full-time, non-shift white-collar workers. Methods: This study used data from the 6th Korean Working Conditions Survey. The frequency of using telecommunication devices for work purposes outside of working hours was divided into five categories: "Every day," "Several times a week," "Several times a month," "Rarely," and "Never." Work-related headaches and eyestrain were categorized based on a "yes" or "no" response to the survey questions. Descriptive statistics, χ² tests, and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed using SPSS 27.0. Results: After adjusting for sex, age, income level, education, occupation, workplace size, work hours, and sleep disorders, the odds ratio (OR) of work-related headaches and eyestrain based on frequency of telecommunication device usage were as follows: "rarely" (OR: 1.292; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.111-1.503), "several times a month" (OR: 1.551; 95% CI: 1.249-1.926), "several times a week" (OR: 1.474; 95% CI: 1.217-1.784), and "every day" (OR: 1.548; 95% CI: 1.321-1.813). Conclusions: Employees who use telecommunication devices for work after regular hours are more susceptible to experiencing work-related headaches and eyestrain compared to those who do not. However, there is a dearth of research examining the physical and mental health impacts of using telecommunication devices for after-hours work. Furthermore, the existing preventative measures in Korea are insufficient. Consequently, it is imperative to develop effective measures and conduct additional research to address this issue.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore dental hygiene treatment fear and anxiety in dental patients. METHODS: The sample consisted of 466 dental patients who had received the dental hygiene treatment at 8 Dental Hospitals and Clinics in Daegu city between March and August 2006 studied. Dental hygienists recruited a questionnaire, which includes generalized anxiety sub-scale(4 items), specific fear sub-scale(5 items), distrust sub-scale(5 items), and catastrophic anxiety sub-scale(4 items). Minimum score is 1, and maximum score is 5. The research was designed to be a cross-sectional measured study. SAS statistical software was used for the analysis. The characteristics of the study sample were described by mean and standard deviation(SD) for continuous variables and by frequency and percentage for categorical variables. The Student's t-test and analysis of variance(ANOVA) were used to compare fear and anxiety score in demographic variables. A Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted for relationship among values of fear and anxiety for dental hygiene. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with fear and anxiety related with dental hygiene. RESULTS: A total of 466 dental patients were analyzed, their average age${\pm}$SD was $37.7{\pm}12.9$ years(range: 15-79 yr). The mean value for dental hygiene fear and anxiety was 2.70(generalized anxiety 2.65, specific fear 2.93, distrust anxiety 2.72, and catastrophic anxiety 2.42, respectively). There was a statistically significant difference in gender(p<0.05), 2.81 for women was higher than 2.55 for men(p=.0000). The older we are, the higher fear and anxiety for dental hygiene treatment were. that is, under age of 20 years 2.49, 20 years 2.59, 30 years 2.69, 40 years 2.77, 50 years 2.88, 60 years 2.69, and over age of 70 2.45, respectively(p=.0321). Factors related to dental hygiene treatment fear and anxiety by multiple regressions were gender(${\square}$=0.18, p=0.0001), age(${\square}$=.07, p=.0058), and the time when visits dentist recently(${\square}$=.07, p=.0058). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, gender, age and the time when visits dentist recently were significantly associated with dental hygiene treatment fear and anxiety. We recommend that further research should investigate a dental hygiene treatment fear and anxiety by using more follow-up study.

낙동강의 횡단면은 복단면 형태를 띄고 있으므로, 여름철 집중호우에 의해서 하천유량이 증가하면 둔치 상부까지 하천수위가 상승하는 특징이 있다. 또한 최근 강우강도 및 홍수 빈도의 증가로 인해 관련 피해가 급증하고 있으며, 이는 홍수터에 설치된 공원과 같은 친수시설들의 침수피해와 직접적으로 연관되므로, 극한강우 시 둔치에서의 수리학적 영향분석이 필요하다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 친수시설들이 조성되어 있는 강정고령보와 달성보 사이를 모의구간으로 선정하여 태풍 산바에 의해 첨두홍수량이 발생한 시점을 전후로 총 42시간에 걸친 수치모의를 실시하였다. 2차원 부정류 모형인 FaSTMECH 모의결과와 수위관측소에서 실측된 실측수위와 비교하여 모형의 적용성을 검토한 결과 $R^2$는 0.990, AME는 0.195, RMSE는 0.252로 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 그리고 검증된 FaSTMECH 모형을 이용하여 태풍 사상 시 홍수터 내에 위치해 있는 캠핑장과 생태공원 등과 같은 친수시설이 침수되는 시간 및 침수심, 침수 유속 및 전단력 등을 분석하였다.
