Objectives: To investigate trends in the prevalence of allergic disease over a 9-year period. Methods: Using National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) data, the annual number of patients with allergic disease was obtained for each regional subdivisions (small cities, counties, and districts) from 2003 to 2011. Annual populations for each sub-region were obtained and used to calculate the standardized prevalence. To compare prevalence within the study period, data was standardized spatially and temporally. For standardization, demographic data was used to obtain the registered population and demographic structure for 2010, which was used to perform direct standardization of previous years. In addition, a geographic information system (GIS) was used to visualize prevalence for individual sub-regions, and allergic diseases were categorized into five groups according to prevalence. Results: The nationwide outpatient prevalence of allergic rhinitis increased approximately 2.3-fold, from 1.27% in 2003 to 2.97% in 2013, while inpatient prevalence also increased approximately 2.4-fold,. The outpatient prevalence of asthma increased 1.2-fold, and inpatient prevalence increased 1.3-fold. The outpatient prevalence of atopic dermatitis decreased approximately 12%, and inpatient prevalence decreased 5%. Conclusions: There was a large difference between prevalence estimated from actual treatment data and prevalence based on patients' self-reported data, particularly for allergic rhinitis. Prevalence must continually be calculated and trends should be analyzed for the efficient management of allergic diseases. To this end, prevalence studies using NHIS claims data may be useful.

Epidemiological investigation of the 119th confirmed Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus case with an indefinite mode of transmission during the Pyeongtaek outbreak in Korea

Jong Hyuk Choi,Byoungin Yoo,Soon Young Lee,Eun Gyu Lee,Moran Ki,Woncheol Lee,Jong Rak Jung,Kyujin Chang 한국역학회 2015 Epidemiology and Health Vol.37 No.-

Since the first case was diagnosed on May 20, 2015, there were 186 confirmed cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) until the end of outbreak in South Korea. Although medical institutions were the most identifiable sources of MERS transmission in South Korea, similar to other countries, in-depth epidemiological investigation was required for some confirmed cases with indefinite contact history or hospital visit records. The subject of epidemiological investigation in the present study was a 35 year-old male patient diagnosed with MERS (#119) who lived in Asan-city and worked in Pyeongtaek-city. Various potential sources of transmission were carefully investigated. While he could have been exposed to MERS through a friend from Saudi Arabia or confirmed MERS cases in his workplace, neighboring areas, and medical institutions, as well as contacts in his home, the chances of transmission were low; however, the potential for transmission through his local community could not be excluded. Practically, it was difficult to determine the modes of transmission for all outbreak cases in communicable disease that occurred in this short period of time. The investigation to identify the mode of transmission in this case was ultimately unsuccessful. However, the various data collected and analyzed to reveal modes of transmission provided detailed information that could not be collected using only interview surveys.

Conclusions: The developed mock control devices operate similar to real power tillers and can be utilized in power tiller training simulators.

김덕령장군 영웅화의 역사적 과정에 대한 층위적 해석

박원경(Park WonKyung),김병인(Kim ByoungIn) 인문콘텐츠학회 2015 인문콘텐츠 Vol.0 No.38

본 연구의 목적은 충장공 김덕령의 출생 단계부터 현재에 이르기까지 그를 영웅화하게 된 시대 상황과 추진 과정을 다양한 층위를 통해 분석하고자 한 것이다. 우선 김덕령의 생애사를 역사 기록을 바탕으로 검토하여 영웅화의 요소를 추출하였으며, 신원과 해원의 과정에서 김덕령이 영웅화 될 수 있는 단초를 확인하였다. 그리고 이와 같은 요소가 설화에 어떻게 구현되는지 알아보기 위해 구비설화의 서사구조를 살펴보았다. 이를 통해 김덕령의 설화적 영웅화 특징을 파악하였다. 아울러 오늘날에 이르러 김덕령이 다양한 기념사업을 통해 영웅화 되는 양상을 탐색하였다. 그 결과 김덕령장군 영웅화의 시대적 요구는 임진왜란과 일제 강점기라는 민족적 위기 상황이었으며, 영웅화를 주도한 세력은 현종과 정조 등 조선의 지배계급, 국난을 당한 조선의 민중, 박정희 정권, 광주의 시민 등이었다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 국난기의 시대적 요구는 백성과 나라를 지키는 민중적ㆍ민족적 영웅을 요구하는 것이었다. 영웅화의 주도세력으로서 조선의 국왕들은 민심을 안정시키고 백성들을 하나로 통합하기 위한 상징적인 인물이 필요했다. 설화의 창작자인 민중은 비극적 최후를 맞은 김덕령에게 동질감을 느끼며 민중을 위한 영웅으로 부활시켰다. 박정희 정권은 정권의 정당성 확보와 체제 안정을 위해 영웅화 사업을 추진하였다. 현대에 들어와 광주시민은 김덕령의 절의정신을 구현하여 불의에 항거하는 영웅적 인물로 선양하게 되었다. 결론적으로 김덕령은 다양한 시대적 요구와 복합적인 주도 세력의 의도와 목적에 의해 영웅화 되었지만, 김덕령이 생전에 보였던 행적에 영웅의 면모가 담겨 있었고, 설화적 영웅화 모티프가 내재되어 있었기 때문에 영웅화가 가능하였던 것이다. This paper aims to understand the historical necessities that have led to the heroization of Kim Duk-ryung and the actors behind the processes, examining the times since his birth to the present day. To this end, genealogical research methods were applied in this study. Specifically, we look at the historical records of Kim’s life and attempt to extract the elements of heroization - finding the clues behind his heroization in the process of how he formed and realized his aspirations. We then analyze the narrative structure of oral folklore to examine how these elements are embodied in folk storytelling. Based on this analysis, we are able to extract the characteristics of Kim’s folk heroization. Finally, we examine the heroization process in the modern era, where Kim was heroized through various national policies. As a result, we find that the historical necessities behind Kim’s heroization were the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592 and Japan’s annexation of Korea during the early 20th century. We also find that the actors who took part in the heroization effort ranged from Kings Hyun-jong and Jung-jo and others of the ruling classes of the Chosun dynasty, the Chosun peasantry who bore the brunt of the invasion, to the Park Chung-hee regime as well as the citizens of the city of Gwangju. Times of national crisis gave rise to the historical need for a popular and national hero who would protect the nation and its people. Chosun’s kings needed a symbolic figure whose story could be used to calm the people and strengthen national unity. The peasantry - the authors of the folk tales - were motivated by sympathy for Kim’s tragic end, recreating him as a hero of the people. The Park administration carried out heroization projects in order to confer legitimacy to itself and to stabilize the regime. Finally, the citizens of modern-day Korea looked to Kim’s spirit of fidelity(to one’s integrity) in order to fight against injustice. In conclusion, while Kim was heroized because of various historical necessities and by differing actors, it is because Kim’s life and deeds contained the elements of heroization that such heroization was possible.

Improved Method for Determining the Height of Center of Gravity of Agricultural Tractors

Kim, YuYong,Noh, JaeSeung,Shin, SeungYeop,Kim, ByoungIn,Hong, SunJung Korean Society for Agricultural Machinery 2016 바이오시스템공학 Vol.41 No.3

Purpose: This study aimed to improve the method for determining the position of the center of gravity for agricultural tractors. Methods: The proposed method uses trigonometric functions and coordinate transformation. Data were measured according to the ISO 789-6 test procedures for the center of gravity of agricultural tractors. The height calculated using the proposed method was compared with that determined from an AutoCAD drawing. To find the center of gravity of the tractor, the algorithm for finding the intersection of the two lines was used. Results: The vertical height from the ground to the center of gravity is 682.06 mm. The vertical coordinates obtained from the calculation and the drawing were the same. Conclusions: The developed method uses trigonometric and polar coordinate transformation. The method was compared and verified with the AutoCAD drawing results. The results indicate that users can apply this developed method instead of the plotting method which is an inconvenient and time-consuming. Further, users can program Microsoft Excel to easily determine the vertical coordinate. In addition, researchers will propose this method to the ISO as a standard method for determining the center of gravity in accordance with ISO 789-6.
