Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the student's awareness of the forensic nurse's role and needs for forensic nursing education. This is to provide basic data in order to develop the forensic nursing education program. Methods: The questionnaire was done by 355 nursing students at 12 different nursing colleges from March 1 to April 30, 2013. To analyze the data, the SPSS 18.0 program was used and ANOVA was carried out to see the differences of cognition concerning the need of schooling and the forensic nurse's role. Results: There was significant difference on the intention of participation in forensic nursing education according to the recognized forensic nurse's role (p=.010). There was no significant difference on the needs of the education, but there were increased educational demands when awareness of the forensic nurse's role was the higher group ($3.44{\pm}0.16$) rather than the lower group ($3.33{\pm}0.22$). Conclusion: This study demonstrated the nursing student's needs concerning forensic nursing education. Therefore, we suggest the development of a forensic nursing curriculum.

경찰에게 과학수사는 수사, 형사, 조사 등 범죄수사의 여러 분야에 도구로서 활용 인식되어 왔기 때문에 지금까지 필요함에도 불구하고 중심적인 역할과 위치를 차지하지 못한 것이 사실이다. 이에 본 연구는 경찰의 과학수사 활동에 대한 중요성을 인식하고, 현재 과학수사에 있어서 관련 현황과 과학수사를 위한 지원수준을 살펴보고 문제점을 검토하였다. 이를 토대로 현실적 한계 속에서 어떠한 방식으로 과학수사 활동의 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것인가를 모색하기 위해 근무제도의 발전방안을 논의하고자 하였다. 현재 경찰의 과학수사 활동이 직면하고 있는 문제점으로는 무엇보다 검거중심의 인력 운영에 따른 만성적인 인력부족 현상이었다. 이에 현실적인 제약 내에서 과학수사요원의 활동을 효율적으로 변화시킬 수 있는 방안을 모색하였다. 첫째, 근무체제의 변화가 필요하며, 중 장기적인 관점에서 지휘체제의 개편으로 광역 과학수사체제의 시행이 필요하다. 둘째, 과학수사의 전문성을 확보할 수 있도록 과학수사 경과의 신설이다. 셋째, 과학수사 특기제도가 개선되어야 한다. 넷째, 과학수사의 역량 강화를 위하여 R&D 조직이 구축되어야 할 것이다.

우리는 LED등기구의 Printed circuit board (PCB)에서 화재의 원인으로 특정할 수 있는 금속 마이그레이션(Metallic migration) 현상을 발견하고, 본 연구를 진행하였다. 금속 마이그레이션 현상 가속화 실험인 물방울 시험을 소량의 물과 저전압(3 V)로 진행하고 절연되어있는 양극에서 직접적으로 금속 마이그레이션의 성장과 회로의 단락을 확인하였다. 그리고 전자주사현미경(SEM)을 통해 형태를 관찰하고 에너지 분산형 분광기(EDS)를 이용하여 성분을 분석한 결과, 절연된 부분에서 전극을 이루고 있는 구리의 성분을 검출하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine factors affecting the performance of the forensic nursing role among emergency department (ED) nurses. Methods: Data collection was conducted on 125 nurses of EDs in 9 medical centers in U metropolitan city from June 20 to July 20, 2016. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS Win 21.0 program. Results: There were statistically significant differences in the performance of the forensic nursing role according to the types of emergency medical institutions, perception of the forensic nursing and forensic nurse. Performance of the forensic nursing role had positive relationships with the awareness of the forensic nursing role and forensic nursing competency. Factors affecting the performance of forensic nursing role were forensic nursing role awareness, the types of emergency medical institutions and forensic nursing competency. These factors explained 40.8% of the total variance. Conclusion: The results suggest that awareness of the forensic nursing role, forensic nursing competency and the types of emergency medical institutions have influences on the performance of forensic nursing role. Therefore, it is necessary to design interventions suitable for the types of emergency medical institutions for ED nurses to enhance the awareness of forensic nursing role and to reinforce forensic nursing competency.

국내의 설탕 제조공장에서 발생한 설탕 분진 폭발사고와 관련하여 조사내용을 토대로 분진폭발 원인을 분석하였다. 폭발이 발생한 장소는 제조된 설탕을 저장하는 사이로(Silo) 등이 포함되는 공간으로 설탕 분진이 항상 존재하는 곳이며, 작은 불씨만 있어도 쉽게 폭발로 이어질 수 있는 위험한 장소임을 공장 관계자들은 숙지하고 있었다. 폭발직전 용접작업이 있었음을 현장조사에서 확인할 수 있었으며, 설탕 분진이 폭발할 수 있다는 위험성에 대하여 전혀 알지 못하는 임시 직원이 작업과정에서 용접을 한 것으로 확인되었다. 분진 폭발의 위험성이 존재하는 환경에서 불꽃을 취급한 작업 자체도 부적절했지만, 안전관리 측면에서 설탕 분진의 위험성에 대하여 무지한 임시 직원이 혼자 작업할 수 있도록 용인한 점과 사전에 안전교육이 전혀 없었다는 점이 더욱 문제라고 할 수 있다.

In the era of Joseon Dynasty there was a national system of postmortem investigation with literatures of postmortem inspection. The author reviewed the postmortem findings in the literature(Shinjumoowonrok) to compare with recent knowledges of forensic medicine. Characteristics of old system of postmortem investigation was three instance investigation system and was carried out only with a postmortem inspection without autopsy. The postmortem findings described in the old literature were about various kinds of death, such as cases of suicide and homicide and natural and unnatural death. Most of postmortem findings in the Shinjumoowonrok were accurate and reasonable in the aspect of recent knowledges of forensic medicine.

Background: Since 2010, Korea has maintained a DNA database of those convicted of or awaiting trial for certain crimes. There have been proposals to expand the list of crimes included in this database, or conversely, omit certain crimes if they are committed during protests. An understanding of the feelings of the public as we consider the ethical, legal, and social aspects of a DNA database and as revisions to laws are made is required. Methodology: Questions related to the DNA database were included in the nationally representative Korean Academic Multimode Open Survey (KAMOS) panel (June-August 2016). Results: Of 2,000 randomly selected panel members, 1,013 respondents participated in this survey, including 89.2% who supported the existence of a criminal DNA database. The current system of storing DNA profiles until a suspect's acquittal or a convict's death was supported by 79.5% of respondents. In addition, 70.8% of respondents agreed with the expansion of crime categories included in the criminal database. Many (93.4%) respondents favored genetic testing and data storage to determine the identity and cause of death for people who die of unnatural causes. Some differences in attitude related to social class were noted, with those who self-identified as members of the upper class more likely to support the database and its expansion to include additional crimes than those who self-identified as middle or lower class. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that Koreans generally support the criminal DNA database.

에탄올 대사체인 에틸글루쿠로나이드(ethyl glucuronide, EtG)와 에틸설페이트(ethyl sulfate, EtS)는 에탄올 섭취의 직접적인 지표물질로서 여러 생체 시료에서 법과학적으로 다양하게 연구되고 있다. 부검 변사자에게서 검출된 에탄올이 사망 전 음주에 의한 것인지 사후 부패에 의해 생성된 에탄올인지 판단하기 위해서는 에탄올 대사체를 분석할 필요가 있다. 일반적으로 혈액에서 에탄올과 함께 EtG, EtS를 검출하고 있지만 부패 상황에 따라 혈액을 확보하는 것이 어려우므로 조직 생체시료를 이용해 에탄올 대사체를 검출함으로써 이를 대체해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 조직 중에서 비장을 선택하여 LC-MS/MS를 이용해 EtG, EtS를 검출하였으며 시험법이 적합한 방법인지를 증명하기 위해 밸리데이션을 수행하여 법과학적 감정에 사용할 수 있는 분석법을 완성하고 실제 부검 사례에 적용하였다.

Carisoprodol (CSP) is commonly prescribed as a skeletal muscle relaxant. Recently, we encountered 7 suicidal cases in which carisoprodol was detected. We developed a rugged, sensitive, and specific method for the determination of CSP and meprobamate (MPB) by GC and GC/MS. Postmortem blood concentrations of CSP and MPB ranged 22.9-124.4 ,$\mu$g/ml and its metabolite, 26.8-144.5 ,$\mu$g/ml respectively. Among 7 cases studied, Only CSP was ingested in 4 cases and combination of CSP and dextromethorphan was ingested in 2 cases according to the case history and one case was with ethanol. The order of the tissue concentration of CSP and MPB was liver> kidney > brain, and the concentration of MPB was higher than that of CSP in all tissues. The MPB /CSP concentration ratios of urine, bile juice, liver, kidney, brain and blood were 15.7, 4.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.4 and 1.0 respectively. There was a big difference in concentration of CSP and MPB in 7 cases due to differences in the amount of dose administered and time to death after dosing.

A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of caffeine in forensic aqueous sample. The centrifuged sample ($100{\mu}l$) was diluted 50-fold with distilled water. The diluted sample ($400{\mu}l$) was then diluted further with $200{\mu}l$ of 0.1% formic acid solution and $400{\mu}l$ of acetonitrile containing 500 ng of caffeine-(3-methyl-$^{13}C_3$) prior to LC-MS/MS analysis. The mobile phase was composed of 0.1% formic acid in distilled water (A) and acetonitrile (B). Chromatographic separation was performed by using a Zorbax SB-C18 ($100mm{\times}2.1mm$ i.d., $3.5{\mu}m$) column and caffeine was eluted within 1.1 min. Linear least-squares regression with a 1/x weighting factor was used to generate a calibration curve with the coefficients of determination ($r^2=0.9983$). The lower limit of quantification was $25ng/ml$ for the analyte. The process efficiency was 98.6~100.1%. Intra- and inter-day precisions were not more than 2.1% and 1.7%, while intra- and inter-day accuracies were ranged from -6.8 to 4.5%, respectively. The suitability of the method was examined by analyzing unknown forensic aqueous samples.
