This paper measures the economic impacts of the U.S. port investment strategies coping with the Panama Canal expansion. Using secondary import data, negative and positive estimates of the impacts were presented in this study. Reduced port activities into the West Coast Customs Districts negatively affect transportation and warehousing industries, among other effects. Still, they have simultaneous positive effects in other states from increased imports resulting from modal shifts and changes in the entry port located in the South and East coasts. This study applied the supply-driven National Interstate Economic Model that measures all interstate trade among the U.S. states to divert foreign imports from 15 Pacific Rim countries. For this purpose, the following assumption was adopted: larger ships using the canal will lead to a redirection of seaborne trade among U.S. (and other) ports and result in secondary effects, e.g., using different freight modes and regional growth spillovers. This study also accounted for the entry point change and significant port investments for foreign trade under alternative scenarios. The choice of ports for international trade depends on decisions about how to minimize multimodal delivery costs. The total direct reduction of transportation and warehousing activities associated with foreign imports in the West Coast ports was estimated at $3.3 billion, leading to total negative effects of $5.8 billion. Total positive impacts from the shift of transportation modes with the choice of an entry port and new warehousing activities for foreign imports in the selected 12 states varied. As expected, states that involved an entry port had the most prominent benefits, but Texas, New York, and New Jersey may be benefited through all the port enhancement projects in the U.S. Also, except for Transportation and Postal, and Warehousing industries, Construction is another dominant positive affected industry of the Canal expansion in the U.S.

본 논문의 목적은 코로나-19 이후 뮤지엄 운영이 차질을 빚고 있는 상황에서 발달하고 있는 VR 전시의 한계에 대해 논의하고, 그 대안으로 현재까지 소개된 여러 유형의 AR 전시를 뮤지엄 중심으로 연구하여 코로나 시대에 디지털 콘텐츠가 어떻게 효과적으로 변화하고 활용될 수 있는지 알아보는 데 있다. VR/AR 전시를 코로나-19를 전후로 살펴본 결과, VR은 대부분 현실을 동영상으로 촬영하여 소개하고 있어 미학적 현장감부재와 HMD 장비운영 문제를 드러낸다. 주로 보급률이 높은 모바일을 이용한 AR은 특정 실내 공간에서 콘텐츠를 감상할 수 있는 '뮤지엄용', 개방된 실외 공간에서 이용할 수 있는 '특정 장소형', 디지털 콘텐츠와 인쇄물에 접목하여 우편형식으로 발송 가능한 '불특정 장소형'으로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 이중 특정/불특정 장소형은 실외 공간 및 우편 발송을 통해 가장 높은 비대면 효과를 나타내고 있어 펜데믹 시대의 효율적인 뮤지엄 콘텐츠 개발 방향을 제시할 수 있다.

Road transport occupies the largest share in domestic and international transport. It is of key importance for the development of the economy, forasmuch as it provides the livelihood of the population, the development of the national economy, the possibility of establishing foreign economic relations. The purpose of the research is as follows: analysis of the current state of functioning of the road transport sector in Eastern Europe and identification of key problems and trends in its development. Research methods: Methods of grouping, comparison and generalization, correlation analisys have been used to identify the dynamics of the main indicators of road transport in Eastern Europe. The method of correlation-regression analysis has been applied to determine the impact of increasing the length of roads on the turnover of the road freight transport and the number of employed population in this area. Results. It has been found that the increase in the employed population by 96% and increase in revenues from transportation and storage of goods, postal and courier services (turnover of the road freight transport - in the original language) in the field of road transport by 82% is explained by the change in transport infrastructure capacity by increasing length of highways. According to the correlation analysis, it has been revealed that there is a high direct dependence between the length of roads and increased revenues from transportation and storage of goods in the field of road transport, as well as between the length of roads and increasing employment in this area.

Background: Starting from March 2020 until December 2021, different phases of Covid-19 pandemic have been identified in Italy, with several containing/lifting measures progressively enforced by the National government. In the present study, we investigate the change in occupational risk during the subsequent pandemic phases and we propose an estimate of the incidence of the cases by economic sector, based on the analysis of insurance claims for compensation for Covid-19. Methods: Covid-19 epidemiological data available for the general population and injury claims of workers covered by the Italian public insurance system in 2020-2021 were analyzed. Monthly Incidence Rate of Covid-19 compensation claims per 100,000 workers (MIRw) was calculated by the economic sector and compared with the same indicator for general population in different pandemic periods. Results: The distribution of Covid-19 MIRw by sector significantly changed during the pandemic related to both the strength of different waves and the mitigation/lifting strategies enforced. The level of occupational fraction was very high at the beginning phase of the pandemic, decreasing to 5% at the end of 2021. Healthcare and related services were continuously hit but the incidence was significantly decreasing in 2021 in all sectors, except for postal and courier activities in transportation and storage enterprises. Conclusion: The analysis of compensation claim data allowed to identify time trends for infection risk in different working sectors. The claim rates were highest for human health and social work activities but the distribution of risk among sectors was clearly influenced by the different stages of the pandemic.

Objectives : In general, conventional T2, T3 thoracoscopic sympathicotomy must be one of the most effective treatments for the essential palmar hyperhidrosis. However, this is offset by the occurrence of a high rate of side effects, such as embarrassing compensatory sweating and Hornor's syndrome. The authors have performed a selective T3 thoracoscopic sympathicotomy to our patients to see whether it provides successful results with less side effects. Its preliminary results were compared with those of conventional T2, T3 thoracoscopic sympathicotomy. Methods : The thoracoscopic sympathicotomy was performed in 54 patients suffering from essential palmar hyperhidrosis. Twenty-four patients underwent a conventional sympathicotmy(group A) from Jan 1997 to Dec 1997 and 30 patients a selective T3 sympathicotmy(group B) from Jan 1998 to Dec 1999. For assessment of postoperative success and of complications all patients charts were reviewed. Patients further received a postal questionnaire regarding long-term effect, satisfaction, and side-effects. Results : No recurrence was observed in both groups. The global rate of compensatory sweating was significantly(p ＝0.020) different in both groups : 11 patients(45.8%) in group A and 5 patients(16.73%) in group B. The Hornor's syndrome was observed only in 4 patients in group A. The preliminary results of the procedure in group A were considered fully-satisfying by 16 patients(66.6%), 6 patients(25%) were satisfied partially, and only 2 patients(8.3%) were dissatisfied, and those of the procedure in group B satisfying by 26 patients(86.6%), 4 patients(13.3.% ) were satisfied partially, and none dissatisfied. Conclusion : The selective T3 sympathicotomy results in a significant decrease in the rate of disturbing side effects comparing to conventional T2, T3 sympathicotomy and it dose not lead to recurrence. Our results contribute to recommendations of a selective T3 thoracoscopic sympathicotomy as treatment of choice in essential palmar hyperhidrosis.

식품의약품안전청은 1978년 12월 방사선 분야의 국가교정검사기관으로 지정되어 현재까지 Co-60선원을 이용 치료준위 방사선측정기에 대한 교정을 수행하고 있다. 식약청의 에어커마와 물 흡수선량 측정값은 국제도량형국(BIPM)과 측정소급성을 유지하고 있으며, 교정계수의 확장불확도는 0.9 %(k=2)이다. 식약청에서는 외부방사선에 대한 선량보증의 일환으로 1999년 전리함을 이용하여 방사선치료기관의 선량측정을 수행하였으며, 2002년부터 열형광선량계(TLD)를 이용한 선량측정체계를 확립 ${\cdot}$ 운영하고 있다. TLD 판독에 대한 측정불확도는 1.6 %(k=1)이며, 측정불확도를 감안하여 선량보증의 허용한계를 ${\pm}$ 5 %로 설정하였다. TLD 판독값을 선량으로 전환하는 과정에서 선질, 비선형성, 홀더사용 등의 영향을 보정하기 위한 보정정수를 사용하였다. 2003년도 치료방사선 선량보증사업에는 53개 기관(71개 선질)이 참여하였다. 선량보증 결과 71개 선질 중63개 선질(89 %)이 1차 측정에서 허용한계를 만족하였다. 허용한계 초과기관에 대해서는 재측정을 수행하였고, 그 결과 모두 허용한계 이내의 값을 나타냄을 확인하였다.
