Norwegian Continental Shelf(NCS) is known as rich oil & gas reservoir and takes one third(1/3) of total continental shelf of Europe.(As of year 2013, Norway ranked third in the world in terms of exporting natural gas.) Until recent low oil price stream, development of oil & gas in NCS was active and perceived as profitable business. This paper describes study of living quarter fire protection for PSA AoC to prepare for likely increasing demands of offshore projects in NCS field.

Component reliability data were analyzed by using PRinS(Plant Reliability data information System) based on the latest operating experiences of eight KSNPs(Korea Standard Nuclear Power plants), and these new data were applied to the KSNP PSA models. In addition, the existing PSA models were revised for reflecting as-built and as-operated plant conditions. As a result of newly performing PSA in this paper, CDF and LERF were estimated 26.1% and 18.2% lower than the existing values, respectively. It was identified that the risk measures decreased not because of revising the models but because of applying the new component reliability data. The result and the method of this paper could be used when generating plant specific data and performing the living PSA in the future.

Background: This study reviewed the published evidence as to how prostate cancer outcomes vary across geographical remoteness and area level disadvantage. Materials and Methods: A review of the literature published from January 1998 to January 2014 was undertaken: Medline and CINAHL databases were searched in February to May 2014. The search terms included terms of 'Prostate cancer' and 'prostatic neoplasms' coupled with 'rural health', 'urban health', 'geographic inequalities', 'spatial', 'socioeconomic', 'disadvantage', 'health literacy' or 'health service accessibility'. Outcome specific terms were 'incidence', 'mortality', 'prevalence', 'survival', 'disease progression', 'PSA testing' or 'PSA screening', 'treatment', 'treatment complications' and 'recurrence'. A further search through internet search engines was conducted to identify any additional relevant published reports. Results: 91 papers were included in the review. While patterns were sometimes contrasting, the predominate patterns were for PSA testing to be more common in urban (5 studies out of 6) and affluent areas (2 of 2), higher prostate cancer incidence in urban (12 of 22) and affluent (18 of 20), greater risk of advanced stage prostate cancer in rural (7 of 11) and disadvantaged (8 of 9), higher survival in urban (8 of 13) and affluent (16 of 18), greater access or use of definitive treatment services in urban (6 of 9) and affluent (7 of 7), and higher prostate mortality in rural (10 of 20) and disadvantaged (8 of 16) areas. Conclusions: Future studies may need to utilise a mixed methods approach, in which the quantifiable attributes of the individuals living within areas are measured along with the characteristics of the areas themselves, but importantly include a qualitative examination of the lived experience of people within those areas. These studies should be conducted across a range of international countries using consistent measures and incorporate dialogue between clinicians, epidemiologists, policy advocates and disease control specialists.

Recently, the number of patients with prostate cancer has been increased gradually by both the change of living environment and the increase of aged population. In this study the serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level was compared to the Gleason score known as a prognostic factor for the prostate cancer. In the Gleason score 6 and $9{\sim}10$, the average age was 69.68 years old and 69.52 years old, respectively and there was no statistically difference in both of age and Gleason score. the PSA serum consistency appeared <4 ng/mL as example 1, $4{\sim}20ng/mL$ as example 17 and ${\geq}20ng/mL$ as example 4 in the Gleason score 6, and In the Gleason score $9{\sim}10$, it appeared <4 ng/mL as example 1, $4{\sim}20ng/mL$ as example 6 and ${\geq}20ng/mL$ as example 15. PSA serum consistency in the Gleason score $9{\sim}10$ showed higher value than those of Gleason score 6 (P<0.05). Next, expression ratios of bcl-2, Ki-67 and p53 were examined in the Gleason score 6 and $9{\sim}10$. the p53 expression ratio, a tumor suppression gene, appeared the significance statistically by the classification of the Gleason score as example 7 (28%) in the Gleason score 6 and as example 16 (64%) in the Gleason score $9{\sim}10$ (P<0.05). but not different in the expression ratios of the Ki-67 and bcl-2. The expression ratio of p53 by the expression ratio of bcl-2 and the expression ratio of Ki-67 by the expression ratio of p53 had a positive relationship in all of the Gleason score 6 and the Gleason score $9{\sim}10$ (P<0.05). However, the expression ratio of Ki-67 by the expression ratio of bcl-2 did not show any significance in the Gleason score $9{\sim}10$ (P<0.05). Therefore, the results suggested that p53 expression could be used as an independent prognostic factor.

주로 수입원유에 의존하는 한국경제의 만성적 불황은 최근 급등하고 있는 수입 원유가에 기인하는 바가 상당히 크다. 이러한 한국의 현실을 감안할 때 풍부한 유전과 가스전을 보유하고 있는 카스피해 연안의 아제르바이쟌은 일부 한국인들로부터 선망의 대상이 되고 있다. 그러나 많은 이행경제체제 국가들, 특히 아제르바이쟌을 포함한 카스피해 지역에서 석유 붐을 타고 있는 것으로 알려진 상당수 국가들이 천연자원은 풍부하지만, 이러한 자원의 혜택이 외국자본과 결탁한 국가의 엘리트에 의해 유용되고 있는 것이 현실이다. 특히 아제르바이쟌은 내부적 연줄망과 외부적 연줄망에 의해 지배되고 있다. 이러한 과정에서 외국의 자본은 아제르바이쟌의 알리예프 대통령과 관련된 이러한 사적인 연줄망을 더욱 강화해 주는 역할을 하고 있다. 따라서 아제르바이쟌의 경우, 풍부한 부존자원으로 인한 국가수입이 일반국민들의 생황향상에는 도움이 되지 못하고 있는 것이다. 오히려 이러한 부존자원으로 인한 증대되는 수입은 개혁의 유인을 감소시키면서, 에너지 분야의 과도한 성장으로 인해 여타 경제 부문에 대한 투자를 밀어냄으로써 이행경제체제의 발전에 장애가 되는 소위 '네덜란드병'을 발생시킬 가능성까지 야기하고 있다.
