  • This study was carried out to assess worker exposure to vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and to present control measures in the factories processing and producing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. The conclusion remarks are as follows. Only two personal samples in the factory ("E") processing polyvinyl chloride resin were analysed to be 27.6 ppm and 12.6 ppm, respectively. But, these concentration exceed 1 ppm, Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) of OSHA. So, worker's exposure to VCM at "E" factory should be reevaluated. In "A", "B" and "C" factory producing polyvinyl chloride resin, the average worker's exposures to VCM were 0.12 ppm, 0.86 ppm and 1.23 ppm, respectivery. Worker exposure to VCM at distillation and dry process was higer than other processes at "A" factory. The average exposure concentration of worker at polymerization process of "B" and "C" factory was 1.23 ppm, and 1.46 ppm respcetively. These concentration exceed 1 ppm, Permissible Exposure Limits of OSHA. Control room of "B" and "C" factory had 0.91 ppm and 0.65 ppm of worker's exposure concentration respectively. "A" factory was evaluated to be "acceptable", but "B" and "C" factories were evaluated to be "not acceptable", by the workplace exposure assessment program of AIHA. Process other than bagging and control room of "A" factory was evaluated to "not acceptable". Immediate correction measures for preventing workers from exposure to VCM should be performed in the factories or process that were evaluated to be "not acceptable". After these control measures are taken, worker exposure to VCM must be reevaluated through personal air monitoring. Control measures presented by this study are complete sealing of connecting pipe lines, flanging, packing, bolting and nutting. Periodic leak test for leak parts is also required. And positive pressure facility should be constructed at control room of "B" and "C" factory. Fresh air through cleaner such as HEPA filter should be supplied to control room. In addition to these control measures, periodic personal monitoring for evaluating worker exposure to VCM should be performed.

  • 최근 기후변화로 인한 이상기후로 인해 홍수, 산사태, 토사 유출과 같은 자연재난의 피해가 급증하고 있다. 우리나라는 국토의 63% 이상이 산지라는 지형적 특성 때문에 사면 재해에 취약하며, 특히, 토석채취지는 소단형성 과정에서 흙과 암석을 채굴하기 때문에 산사태가 발생할 확률이 높으며, 사업장 내부 뿐만 아니라, 외부까지 재해발생 위험이 높은 지역이다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 토석채취지의 모니터링을 위해 UAV와 항공LiDAR를 활용하여 DEM을 구축하고 시계열 변화 분석을 수행하였으며, 토석채취지 모니터링을 위한 최적의 DEM 구축방법을 제안하였다. DEM 구축을 위해 UAV와 LiDAR 기반 Point Cloud 구축하고 Aggressive Classification(AC), Conservative Classification(CC), Standard Classification(SC) 등 세가지 알고리즘을 활용하여 지면부를 추출하였다. 알고리즘에 따라 구축한 UAV 및 LiDAR기반 DEM은 수치지형도 기반 DEM과의 비교를 통해 정확도를 평가하였다. 정확도 평가 결과, 알고리즘 방법간의 높이 차는 최대 1 m 내외로 차이가 거의 없었다. 또한, 음영기복도를 활용한 지면부의 질감을 시각적 비교해보았을 때 CC 알고리즘의 성능이 가장 우수하였으며, 산림지역에서 LiDAR 기반 DEM이 높은 정확도를 보였다. 구축한 최적의 DEM을 통해 토석채취지의 시계열 변화량을 비교한 결과, 토석채취지역, 소단 형성지역 등 시계열 변화에 따른 토석채취지의 변화지역 탐지가 가능하였다.

  • 핵의학과에서 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT 검사는 종양의 진단 뿐 아니라 치료병기를 설정하는데 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 하지만 정상 조직이나 양성 종양 간의 FDG 섭취를 초래하는 다양한 요인이 있어 정확한 진단에 혼란을 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 유방암환자에서 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT 지연 검사가 악성 종양과 양성 종양을 구별 하는데 있어 유용성을 가지고 있는지에 관하여 알아보고자 함에 있다. 본원을 내원하여 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT 검사를 받은 환자 중 방사선 치료나 화학 치료를 받은 환자를 제외한 액와림프절에 FDG섭취를 보인 27명의 환자를 대상으로 하였으며, $^{18}F$-FDG 투여 후 50분 후에 검사를 시행하였고 90분 후에 지연상을 획득했다. 종양의 병기 설정은 방사선 검사나 병리학적 검사를 바탕으로 확정된 결과를 바탕으로 분류 하였으며, 액와 림프절의 SUV는 Siemens사의 Syngo Aquisition Workplace로 측정하였다. 27명의 환자는 18명의 악성종양 군과 9명의 양성종양 군으로 분류하였고 악성종양 군은 액와림프절의 개수에 따라 1-3개는 N1, 4-9개는 N2, 10개 이상은 N3로 분류 하였다. 실험 결과는 평균${\pm}$표준편차로 표현하였고, SPSS (V.18 Inc., USA)를 사용하여 통계분석을 실행하였다. 50분 검사와 90분 검사 간의 비교 시, 악성종양 군의 RI-SUVmax는 양성종양 군에 비해 5배 이상의 증가를 보였다. N그룹에서의 RI-SUVmax는 N1에서 N3로 갈수록 점점 감소되는 경향을 보였지만 통계적 유의성을 확인 할 수 없었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 유방암 환자에서 RI-SUVmax는 액와림프절의 악성과 양성을 판단하는 좋은 지표가 되었고 이를 구별하는데 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

  • This study intended to obtain an useful information for health management of lead exposed workers and determine biological monitoring interval in early period of exposure by measuring the lead exposure indices and work duration in all male workers (n=433 persons) exposed less than 1 year in 6 storage battery industries and in 49 males who are not exposed to lead as control. The examined variables were blood lead concentration (PBB), Zinc-protoporphyrin concentration (ZPP), Hemoglobin (HB) and personal history; also measured lead concentration in air (PBA) in the workplace. According to the geometric mean of lead concentration in the air, the factories were grouped into three categories: A; When it is below $0.05mg/m^3$, B; When it is between 0.05 and $0.10mg/m^3$, and C; When it is above $0.10mg/m^3$. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The means of blood lead concentration (PBB), ZPP concentration and hemoglobin(HB) in all male workers exposed to lead less than 1 year in storage battery industries were $29.5{\pm}12.4{\mu}g/100ml,\;52.9{\pm}30.0{\mu}g/100ml\;and\;15.2{\pm}1.1\;gm/100ml$. 2. The means of blood lead concentration (PBB), ZPP concentration and hemoglobin(HB) in control group were $5.8{\pm}1.6{\mu}g/100ml,\;30.8{\pm}12.7{\mu}g/100ml\;and\;15.7{\pm}1.6{\mu}g/100ml$, being much lower than that of study group exposed to lead. 3. The means of blood lead concentration and ZPP concentration among group A were $21.9{\pm}7.6{\mu}g/100,\;41.4{\pm}12.6{\mu}g/100ml$ ; those of group B were $29.8{\pm}11.6{\mu}g/100,\;52.6{\pm}27.9{\mu}g/100ml$ ; those of group C were $37.2{\pm}13.5{\mu}g/100,\;66.3{\pm}40.7{\mu}g/100ml$. Significant differences were found among three factory group(P<0.01) that was classified by the geometric mean of lead concentration in the air, group A being the lowest. 4. The mean of blood lead concentration of workers who have different work duration (month) was as follows ; When the work duration was $1\sim2$ month, it was $24.1{\pm}12.4{\mu}g/100ml$, ; When the work duration was $3\sim4$ month, it was $29.2{\pm}13.4{\mu}g/100ml$ ; and it was $28.9\sim34.5{\mu}g/100ml$ for the workers who had longer work duration than other. Significant differences were found among work duration group(P<0.05). 5. The mean of ZPP concentration of workers who have different work duration (month) was as follows ; When the work duration was $1\sim2$ month, it was $40.6{\pm}18.0{\mu}g/100ml$, ; When the work duration was $3\sim4$ month, it was $53.4{\pm}38.4{\mu}g/100ml$ ; and it was $51.5\sim60.4{\mu}g/100ml$ for the workers who had longer work duration than other. Significant differences were found among work duration group(P<0.05). 6. Among total workers(433 person), 18.2% had PBB concentration higher than $40{\mu}g/100ml$ and 7.1% had ZPP concentration higher than $100{\mu}g/100ml$ ; In workers of factory group A, those were 0.9% and 0.0% ; In workers of factory group B, those were 17.1% and 6.9% ; In workers of factory group C, those were 39.4% and 15.4%. 7. The proportions of total workers(433 person) with blood lead concentration lower than $25{\mu}g/100ml$ and ZPP concentration lower than $50{\mu}g/100ml$ were 39.7% and 61.9%, respectively ; In workers of factory group A, those were 65.5% and 82.3% : In workers of factory group B, those were 36.1% and 60.2% ; In workers of factory group C, those were 19.2% and 43.3%. 8. Blood lead concentration (r=0.177, P<0.01), ZPP concentration (r=0.135, P<0.01), log ZPP (r=0.170, P<0.01) and hemoglobin (r=0.096, P<0.05) showed statistically significant correlation with work duration (month). ZPP concentration (r=0.612, P<0.01) and log ZPP (r=0.614, P<0.01) showed statistically significant correlation with blood lead concentration 9. The slopes of simple linear regression between work duration(month, independent variable) and blood lead concentration (dependent variable) in workplace with low air concentration of lead was less steeper than that of poor working condition with high geometric mean air concentration of lead. The study result indicates that new employees should be provided with biological monitoring including blood lead concentration test and education about personal hygiene and work place management within $3\sim4$ month.

  • 위치 인식은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경상의 중요한 부분이지만 많은 연구에도 불구하고 아직 완벽한 시스템은 존재하지 않는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 위치 추적 시스템 중 가장 널리 사용되는 RFID 시스템을 이용하지만 수신된 RSSI 신호는 리더와 태그 안테나의 방향, 각도, 간섭에 매우 민감하여 기존 알고리즘인 파티클 필터를 이용하면 정확한 위치 추정이 힘들다. 이를 극복하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 이중 구조의 파티클 필터를 가진 강인한 위치 추적 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 하단부에서 회귀분석이나 SVM 분류기법을 이용하여 대략적인 위치를 확인한 다음, 상단부에서 파티클 필터를 이용하여 위치, 속도, 방향을 추정하는 계층적 구조를 갖고 있다. 그리고 계층 구조상에 움직임 특성이 갖는 여러 제약 사항을 반영하여 위치 추정 성능을 향상시킨다. 제안한 위치 추정 시스템을 실제 상황에 적용하고자 리더와 서버간을 스타 메쉬 네트워크로 연결하여 태그를 소지한 사람과 물체의 위치를 제안한 알고리즘을 이용하여 추정하였다. 실험 결과 제안한 위치 추적 시스템이 기존의 파티클 필터를 이용한 시스템보다 정확한 위치 추정 성능을 보임을 확인하였고 지하 시설물이 복잡하게 놓여있는 매우 열악한 운영 환경상에서도 실시간 동작을 통해 그 유용성이 입증되었다.

  • This study attempts to propose a priority of national nutrition targets and strategies for health promotion by the year 2000 in Korea, as a part of the task set for national health promotion objectives and strategies. Among all of the important health issues raised, ten were chosen, nutrition was one priority area. In the first part, the current status of the nutrition-related health problems and risk factors are reviewed, in conjunction with the newly arisen health phenomena, such as changes in prevalence of lifestyle disease and causes of death, changes of food consumption patterns in our country. In the second section this study suggests six feasible national nutrition targets, eight implementing strategies and current major tasks on the basis of the assessment of present status and in consideration of the other health promotion goals and strategies, with reference to that of other developed countries. The main targets and strategies are suggested as follows ; Firstly, the national nutrition monitoring and surveillance system should be established for identifying the nutritional problems for our people, and current National Nutrition Survey is a strong need for improvement to a more comprehensive and reliable one. Secondly, effective administrative mechanism should be operation at national level for the development of nutrition policy. Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) as well as local health department must be remarkably renewed and strengthened the nutrition section. And it is recommended that MOHW organize and operate “The Council of Nutrition”, in which all government authorities related with foodstuffs and nutrition would incorporated. The Council of Nutrition would act as an adjustor as well as a coordinator in nutrition related policy-making. Thirdly, healthy eating pattern will be supported by activities of introducing a nutrition labeling for providing consumers with the necessary information and skills for food selection. Fourthly, nutrition education, and nutrition intervention programs will be carried out in various settings such as health centers, schools, and clinical fields and workplace. Fifthly, the current dietary guidelines shall be continuously improved in detail, and publicly circulated to particular levels of people by age group and by health condition. And finally, researches and epidemiological studies particularly in regard to diet for development of chronic diseases are needed for more investigation and up-to-date national health and nutrition data should be collected with the support and cooperation from the various medical professional teams .

  • This study was carried out to investigate the current state of occupational health management and characteristics of employees working in small-scale-enterprises (SSE) employing less than 50 workers. Samples were chosen among the two thousands employees working in 838 factories where located in Youngdungpo-Ku, Seoul, Korea. The study results were as followed: 1. Most factories investigated in the study were manufactures (68.6%) which were established in 5 to 10 years ago (29.2%), employing less than 5 workers (72.9%) and registered in accident compensation insurance (23.0%). 2. Health screening was undertaken in 24.9% workplaces for periodic health examination and in 1.5% for special health examination. Environmental monitoring was done in 3.3% factories. Very few factories displayed Material Substance Data Sheet (MSDS) in 3.1% among the total factories. 3. Workplaces usually had their own toilets in 75.9% and washing basin in 58.6% as types of sociowelfare facilities. 4. Employees responded in the study were mostly in the range of age from 30 to 39 in 34.7%. male in 84.8%. the married in 70.3%. manual workers in 42.0%. mostly working regularly 51 hours per a week in 48.2% and earned 710.000 Won to 1.000.000 Won per month in 35.0%. Medical utilization for employees were covered by factories sponsored medical insurance in 12.7% and by provincial sponsored medical insurance in 83.4%. 5. Two point six percents of employees were suffered by diseases. The health complaints indicated were mainly digestive problems in 46.7% and hypertension in 24.4%. 6. Employees wore personal protective equipments for work such as gloves in 48.1%. safety shoes in 30.5%. ear plug in 5.5% and mask in 6.9%. Based on the results of study, we recommend that various types of occupational health management should be developed according to workplace working condition of each factory. In addition to the development of occupational health strategies. we think that it is more important to monitor and to allocate how effectively they operate each other on the basis of longitudinal continuity. Besides, we would like to insist that these all management effort should be focused on prevention of disease and occupational health education of employees.

  • Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the assessment of exposure to welding fume and heavy metals among construction welders. Methods: Activity-specific personal air samplings(n=206) were carried out at construction sites of three apartment, two office buildings, and two plant buildings using PVC(poly vinyl chloride) filters with personal air samplers. The concentration of fumes and heavy metals were evaluated for five different types of construction welding jobs: general building pipefitter, chemical plant pipefitter, boiler maker, ironworker, metal finishing welder. Results: The concentration of welding fumes was highest among general building pipefitters($4.753mg/m^3$) followed by ironworkers($3.765mg/m^3$), boilermakers($1.384mg/m^3$), metal finishing welders($0.783mg/m^3$), chemical pipefitters($0.710mg/m^3$). Among the different types of welding methods, the concentration of welding fumes was highest with the $CO_2$ welding method($2.08mg/m^3$) followed by SMAW(shield metal arc welding, $1.54mg/m^3$) and TIG(tungsten inert gas, $0.70mg/m^3$). Among the different types of workplace, the concentration of welding fumes was highest in underground workplaces($1.97mg/m^3$) followed by outdoor($0.93mg/m^3$) and indoor(wall opening as $0.87mg/m^3$). Specifically comparing the workplaces of general building welders, the concentration of welding fumes was highest in underground workplaces($7.75mg/m^3$) followed by indoor(wall opening as $2.15mg/m^3$). Conclusions: It was found that construction welders experience a risk of expose to welding hazards at a level exceeding the exposure limits. In particular, for high-risk welding jobs such as general building pipefitters and ironworkers, underground welding work and $CO_2$ welding operations require special occupational health management regarding the use of air supply and exhaust equipment and special safety and health education and fume mask are necessary. In addition, there is a need to establish construction work monitoring systems, health planning and management practices.

  • OPC UA로 명명된 국제 표준 IEC62541은 스마트 그리드(Smart Grid)와 스마트 팩토리(Smart Factory)의 응용 플랫폼을 위한 통신 프로토콜이다. 2011년 IEC TC57 그룹에서 표준화되었으며, 다른 표준들과의 협업을 통해 점차 사용범위를 넓히고 있다. 전기자동차 보급을 위한 정부 차원의 노력("전기차 충전인프라 확산 캠페인")으로 인해 스마트 팩토리에서 충전을 시도하는 전기자동차의 수는 점차적으로 증가할 것을 예상된다. 제어되지 않는 무분별한 전기자동차 충전으로 인해 스마트 팩토리의 최대수요전력을 초과하는 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 그러므로 스마트 팩토리 내에 전기자동차 충전 시 피크부하를 관리할 필요성이 있다. 그러나 현재의 전기자동차 충전을 위한 표준은 스마트 팩토리의 통신 프로토콜과 다르다. 다시 말해서, 편의성을 높이고, 부담을 줄 일 수 있는 프로토콜의 개발 또는 호환성 제공에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문은 스마트 팩토리에 설치되는 전기자동차 충전 시스템을 스마트 팩토리 관리시스템과 통합 관리하기 위한 플랫폼에 관한 것이다. 본 논문에서는 IEC61851과 IEC62541에 기반을 둔 전기자동차 충전기 관리 시스템을 구현한다.

  • 본 연구는 서울시에 소재한 일반기업의 사무직 종사자 546명을 대상으로 조직시민행동, 임파워먼트 그리고 직무만족의 관련성에 대해 SPSS 23.0과 AMOS 21.0을 이용하여 실증분석을 시행하였다. 연구결과로는 첫째, 조직시민행동의 임파워먼트 관계에서 참여적 행동이 자기결정력에 정(+)의 영향을 주었고, 임파워먼트 요소인 자기 결정력과 영향력/의미성이 직무만족에 정(+)의 영향을 주었다. 둘째, 조직시민행동과 직무만족의 관계에서는 이타주의가 직무만족에 정(+)의 영향을 주었다. 셋째, 직무만족에 대한 직접효과와 간접효과를 살펴보면, 조직시민행동의 이타주의는 직접효과가 높았고, 참여적 행동은 간접효과의 값이 더 높았다. 반면에 임파워먼트의 요소인 자기결정력과 영향력/의미성은 조직시민행동보다 높은 값을 나타냈다. 따라서 직무만족에 영향을 주는 요소는 임파워먼트가 가장 중요한 요소임을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 구성원들에게 부여된 임파워먼트의 효과성을 지속적으로 모니터링하고, 교육을 통해 업무 역할에 대한 의미성과 자기결정력을 제고하면 자율성이 높아져 조직의 활성화에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
