Dongwoon Han,Byeongwoo Ahn,Kyung-Duk Min 대한수의학회 2024 Journal of Veterinary Science Vol.25 No.1

Background: Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease in livestock that has tremendous economic impact nationally. After multiple FMD outbreaks, the South Korean government implemented a vaccination policy for efficient disease control. However, during active surveillance by quarantine authorities, pig farms have reported an insufficient antibody positivity rate to FMD. Objective: In this study, the spatial and temporal trends of insufficiency among pig farms were analyzed, and the effect of the number of government veterinary officers was explored as a potential preventive factor. Methods: Various data were acquired, including national-level surveillance data for antibody insufficiency from the Korea Animal Health Integrated System, the number of veterinary officers, and the number of local pig farms. Temporal and geographical descriptive analyses were conducted to overview spatial and temporal trends. Additionally, logistic regression models were employed to investigate the association between the number of officers per pig farm with antibody insufficiency. Spatial cluster analysis was conducted to detect spatial clusters. Results: The results showed that the incidence of insufficiency tended to decrease in recent years (odds ratio [OR], 0.803; 95% confidence interval [95% CIs], 0.721–0.893), and regions with a higher density of governmental veterinary officers (OR, 0.942; 95% CIs, 0.918–0.965) were associated with a lower incidence. Conclusions: This study implies that previously conducted national interventions would be effective, and the quality of government-provided veterinary care could play an important role in addressing the insufficient positivity rate of antibodies.

이 연구는 2005년부터 공공보건기관에서 시행중인 한의약건강증진Hub보건소사업의 효율성을 자료포락분석을 이용하여 평가하였으며, 각 한의약건강증진Hub보건소간 효율성 차이의 원인을 밝히고자 하였다. 또한 그 동안 자료포락분석을 이용한 연구에서 한계점으로 지적되어 온 질적 측면을 고려하지 못한 문제를 극복하기 위하여 고객만족비율을 분석모형에 포함시켜 그 적용가능성을 검토하였다. 이 연구에서는 자료포락분석을 위한 투입변수로 Hub보건소 한의약건강증진사업 총예산과 행정안전부 합동평가지표에서 사용된 인력의 적절성 합계점수를 사용하였고 산출변수로는 총 참여주민 수, 한방진료실 총 내원환자 수, 한의약공공보건사업 만족/매우 만족 비율을 사용하였다. 연구결과 분석모형에 포함된 51개 보건소 중 CCR모형에서는 9개의 보건소가 BCC모형에서는 15개의 보건소가 효율적인 보건소로 나타났으며, BCC모형에 의한 기술적 순효율성 결과가 더 높게 나타나 규모의 비효율성이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 시, 군 간의 효율성 차이는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 보건소간 효율성 차이의 원인을 밝히고자 Tobit회귀분석을 실시하였고, 그 결과 통계적으로 유의하고 실제적으로 설명력 있는 효율성의 결정요인이 나타나지는 않았다. 그리고 백분율형태의 질적지표인 고객만족비율을 자료포락분석모형에 포함시켜서 분석한 결과 질적지표를 포함시키기 전보다 효율성지수가 상향평준화되었으며 BCC모형이 CCR모형보다는 백분율형태의 질적지표를 포함시키는 분석모형에서는 더 적합한 방법인 것으로 나타났다. The purposes of this study is to measure relative efficiency of public health centers implementing health promotion programmes using traditional Korean medicine(HPTKM) using the method of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), and to suggest the means to improve efficiency by investigating the reasons for the differences in efficiency. Previous studies has been pointed out, as the limitations of the studies using DEA, that the studies did not consider the qualitative aspects of customer satisfaction. In order to overcome this limitation, this study develop alternative model by including customer satisfaction rate in DEA model and its applicability was examined. In addition, this study explain the differences in relative efficiency by location and external factor using Tobit model. The major findings of this study are as follows. First, there are no significant differences in the relative efficiency among the public health centers by location. Second, according to the Tobit analysis results, there are statistically significant differences in the aspect of location. But the result does not show the external factors affect the performances of the public health centers.

Large-scale bifacial photovoltaic modules have the advantages of high unit yield and production. Because the module weight increases with the module size, the power conversion efficiency can decrease owing to defects such as encapsulant delamination and cell cracking caused by the increased deflection of the module. However, research on the design optimization of large-scale bifacial photovoltaic module frames is lacking. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the deflection of large-scale bifacial photovoltaic modules using finite element analysis (FEA). Furthermore, we propose an optimal design for a solar module frame that minimizes both module deflection and frame weight using the response surface methodology (RSM). We established 32 experimental setups utilizing the design of experiments with five frame shape factors placed at two levels each. The results of structural analysis showed that the maximum deflection occurred at the center of the module. The results obtained using RSM for minimizing deflection and weight yielded optimal factors as follows: a, b, c, d, e were found to be 1.9 ㎜, 14.0 ㎜, 1.5 ㎜, 1.7 ㎜, and 2.5 ㎜, respectively. A comparison of the deflection and weight between the existing and optimal conditions obtained from structural analysis revealed an increase in weight of approximately 4.5% compared to the existing conditions. Simultaneously, a deflection reduction of approximately 15.8% was observed.

In this paper, we present an architecture for the fault isolation by applying virtualization-based multi-stack technologies. We propose the simultaneous sharing and switching mechanism using virtualied serial communications. Each guest OS has its own virtual serial device. The distribution module provides communications between the guest OS's through the virtual serial devices and simultaneously detect the liveness of the guest OS. The suggested mechanism has been implemented in VirtualBox and shows satisfactory performance in transmission speed and data sharing capability with virtual RS232.

Purpose: The United Nations(UN) has implemented the target of Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) in effort to reduce global maternal mortality rate(MMR). Globally, an estimated 295 000 maternal deaths occurred in 2017. In particular, Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia accounted for approximately 86%(254,000) of the estimated global number of maternal deaths in 2017 with sub-Saharan Africa alone accounting for roughly 66%(196,000). Zimbabwe has a maternal mortality rate of 458 per 100,000 people in 2017, six times higher than the UN SDGs of 70 per 100,000 live births. One of the causes of maternal morbidity and mortality is a lack of information on obstetric danger signs. The reason for this maternal mortality is the lack of knowledge for obstetric danger signs such hemorrhage, eclampsia and infection during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum, and the inability to receive treatment at the appropriate time. Therefore, the purpose of study is to assess knowledge of obstetric danger signs among postpartum women at Harare hospital, Zimbabwe. Methods: A cross-sectional survey using a semi-structured questionnaire was conducted among 401 women, ages of 18-49years old who were receiving postnatal and postpartum services as outpatients and admitted patients at Harare Central Hospital in Zimbabwe. The data was collected through trained surveyors at Harare Hospital. The collected data was then analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences(SPSS) version 21 and through univariate descriptive statistics, followed by chi-square tests and logistic regression statistics to explore for associated factors. Results: Most of the respondents(91.5%) had secondary education and replied that they had received information on danger signs(77.3%). The majority of women found signs of obstetrics and gynecology risks through medical workers (70.5%). The smallest portion of health information was provided by school-based health classes(0.5%). Factors affecting the level of women's knowledge of danger signs were parity, decision making, their own experience and health care workers, and statistically significant factors were education levels, relatives, radio / television and community bases(pvalue< 0.05). Conclusion: Postpartum Womens in Zimbabwe had knowledge of more than 2 obstetrics danger signs during pregnancy, in labour and delivery, postpartum period. However information obtained from healthcare workers did not significantly influence the level of knowledge on obstetric danger signs. Short consultation time, unilateral information delivery by doctors, and lack of information resources outside medical facilities are factors that influenced the level of knowledge of danger signs among the respondents. This implies that longer consultation time, homogenous information received from health professionals are all aspects that influence women to obtain the knowledge of danger signs. With this said, government must develop Information, Education and Communication(IEC) strategies to provide detailed information on the danger signs and related factors. This can be done throughout rectification of policy, education of health workers and providing health education targeted for community public health.
