  • Infection risks of handling specimens associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by public health laboratory services teams were assessed to scrutinize the potential hazards arising from the work procedures. Through risk assessments of all work sequences, laboratory equipment, and workplace environments, no aerosol-generating procedures could be identified except the procedures (mixing and transfer steps) inside biological safety cabinets. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as surgical masks, protective gowns, face shields/safety goggles, and disposable gloves, together with pertinent safety training, was provided for laboratory work. Proper disinfection and good hand hygiene practices could minimize the probability of SARS-CoV-2 infection at work. All residual risk levels of the potential hazards identified were within the acceptable level. Contamination by gloved hands was considered as a major exposure route for SARS-CoV-2 when compared with eye protection equipment. Competence in proper donning and doffing of PPE accompanied by hand washing techniques was of utmost importance for infection control.

  • Recently, public safety services have attracted significant attention for their ability to protect people from crimes. Rapid detection of dangerous situations (that is, abnormal situations where someone may be harmed or killed) is required in public safety services to reduce the time required to respond to such situations. This study proposes a novel danger detection technology based on multimodal data, which includes data from multiple sensors (for example, accelerometer, gyroscope, heart rate, air pressure, and global positioning system sensors), and multilog data, which includes contextual logs of humans and places (for example, contextual logs of human activities and crime-ridden districts) over time. To recognize human activity (for example, walk, sit, and punch), the proposed technology uses multimodal data analysis with an attitude heading reference system and long short-term memory. The proposed technology also includes multilog data analysis for detecting whether recognized activities of humans are dangerous. The proposed danger detection technology will benefit public safety services by improving danger detection capabilities.

  • For the longest time, our government has played an inconsiderable role in the public health services of Korea, especially as it relates to their investment. Voices have cried out against increases in national health expenditure and for more establishment of public medical facilities. In light of this, the necessity and importance of public medical facilities have come into focus amidst the recent medical crisis. When public medical facilities filled in the gap created by the suspension or closure of private hospitals and clinics as a result of this national crisis and acted as a safety net, the demand for more establishment of such facilities increased. Although patient diagnosis and treatment are the first priority of public medical facilities, they must also deal with scopes that private medical facilities do not deal with, dislike, or have difficulty with. In this respect, the closure or privatization of public hospitals to reduce their number just because of their low profits or financial burdens that must be carried by the government is to ignore their innate importance and social role; therefore, we must do all we can to block such efforts and further empower these public health facilities according to demands of the time. The improvement of public health services can be realized by redefining its goals and roles, increasing government funding, strengthening of existing public health facilities and reorganizing the public health services system. Even if public health facilities were to increase their medical services and be reinforced, they cannot take on all the services related to public health services, Therefore, in a country like ours where public health services come second to private health services in the health care system, the health of citizens can be safeguarded only when private and public facilities cooperate and private medical facilities share the social responsibilities. Only the show of interest and effort by government, politicians, health professionals, professional organizations and public can initiate the improvement that is sought.

  • 중국은 개혁개방이후 경제의 발전과 치안환경 변화에 따라 안전서비스영의 변화와 사회치안제도의 변화를 수반하게 되어 보안서비스산업이 날로 증가하고 이에따른 문제도 증가를 하고 있는 실정이다. 중국의 보안서비스 시장경제가 활성화 되려면, 우선 보안서비스에 대한 공안기관의 독점을 취소해야 하고 전람, 전시판매, 문체, 상업 등 활동의 안전보위와 각종 안전기술 방범상품의 연구개발, 확충과 응용, 안전기술 방범계통 공정의 접속과 그에 상응한 기술업무의 제공과 보안서비스 업무영역의 확충이 요구 된다. 그리고 보안회사의 행정관리권, 재산권과 경영관리권의 분리를 실행하고 보안본사는 완전히 시장요구에 따라 각종 자원에 대하여 최적화를 위해 통합조정하며 권리와 소속 관계를 명확히 하고, 경영관리가 통일되고, 자원이 최적화되어 함께 나눌 수 있는 기업실체를 건립하여 보안서비스 시장에서 경쟁력을 향상시켜야 한다. 또한 이제 시행된 중국의 보안서비스조례를 현실적으로 적용하고 진정한 보안서비스 시장경제를 활성화 시킬 수 있는 방안을 연구하여 보안서비스 관련 각종 조례를 정비하여 보안서비스 업무의 특성에 맞도록 정비하여야 할 것이다. 마지막으로 중국은 공안과 보안서비스의 상호협력체계를 구축함에 있어서 공안기관은 보안서비스가 범죄예방과 사회질서 유지에서의 중요성과 보안서비스회사의 지위를 승인해 주고 보안서비스에 대한 일방적인 지휘와 관리체제에서 벗어나 양자의 동반자 관계를 확립하고 아직 초보발전단계에 있는 보안서비스업을 긍정적인 태도로 발전 시켜야 한다.

  • This study aimed to suggest the way to support flood disaster older survivors with analysing how relief services and their human resources are used. For this study, the data was collected from 184 elderly aged over 65 years from Inje and Pyungchang in Gangwon province where lots of flood damages were done. The results of the study was elderly used human resources of public servant/military soldiers, volunteers as public or official services than as private resources. These results provide the evidence that public or official human resources are very helpful to control their emergency situations because there is hardly any use of their private human resources except for assistance from their family. And it shows that older people are willing to use services of life rescue and information services of their family members safety rather than basic supplies, medical care or medicine providing. With this findings we suggest informing the news of family safety including basic necessaries are highly signigicant. Thus, it is useful for disaster planners to understand building immediate life rescue and accurate information delivery systems. These are relevant to older adults' psychological well-being, thus, providing news of family safety including offering material resources are highly needed for older disaster survivors.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to provide baseline data on the health care of children and the demand for visiting health care services in one region in efforts to support the implementation of visiting health care services for vulnerable children. Methods: Seventy-three children and their caregivers from the vulnerable social group and 82 children and their caregivers from the general group were selected as research participants. The data were collected through home visiting survey by professional nurses. Results: Children from the vulnerable social group were at higher risk of poor health care than the general group. Regarding home safety, vulnerable children were more likely to be exposed to unsafe conditions. With respect to nutrition, developmental play, developmental screening test, and home safety, visiting health care services were in demand for caretakers. Conclusion: These results indicate that to promote health care and safety conditions for vulnerable children, it is necessary to implement visiting health care programs that include the management of vaccination, medical check-up, growth and development, home safety, and nutrition. These findings can be used as the baseline data for the development of visiting health care programs for vulnerable children.

  • In this paper, we propose the controllability function and service design to efficiently implement the control of the disaster communication network, using Internet of Things(IoT) Technology. In accordance with the spread of Information Communication Technology(ICT), the era for building a disaster communications system without exclusion over the entire areas has emerged. National wireless mesh networks for public safety and disaster relief have been evolving to strengthen the pre-disaster response system using the latest technologies through the convergence of various technologies and services from the viewpoint of the command and control between disaster response agencies. In line with such a technological paradigm shift, the controllability of the objects in the IoT has been emerging as a key quality requirement of a disaster communications system. In this study, the objects are classified by the subject of control according to the IoT component, such as data, network resources and services in order to effectively implement their controllability. In addition, based on the destination of this controllability, technologies and services have been designed that can reduce the damage caused by disasters. Technologies and services that were derived from this study must be implemented in the current disaster safety network systems together with the establishment of an infrastructure for the networks in order that all persons are able to effectively utilize the disaster communications system for their safety.
