The health disparities among regions are more severe and complex than before, even though, little approach to objective and practical evidence for locally-tailored policy making. In this context, this study aims to develop and use a typology of regions, figure out high-risk areas for each cause of death, and explore the characteristics of high-risk areas. To do so, we collected raw data on the cause of death statistics from the National Statistical Office in 2018, 2019, and 2020 and used a statistics program SAS. We made a typology of the cause of death was classified into 'illness', 'maternal deaths', 'accidental deaths', 'suicides' reference to previous research and government policies. The result for grouping of high risk areas in terms of illness death types, the metropolitan area and other regions showed a large proportion, and suicide death types mainly included urban areas. These findings were suggested that it is necessary to examine the proportion of each death type by region, to discover vulnerabilities in each region in a horizontal dimension, and to discuss support tailored to each policy demand through relevant policy support.

The purpose of this study is to examine the current situation of regulatory void and related major issues. For this purpose, this study scrutinizes the actual situation of regulatory void in the drone industry by using legal analysis and literature research methods. The results are as follows: First, compared to the technology development of drones, the issue of regulatory void in the commercial use was found to be more prominent. Compared to the past, as the weight and control qualifications of drones were eased, the technology development of drones has been further promoted. On the other hand, in commercial use of drones such as drone taxis, leisure drones, and drone delivery services, there are many issues to be solved along with the various legal absence. Second, it was found that the regulatory void of drones requires revision of various laws. There was a gap in regulations related to actual commercial applications. The results of this study suggest that new standards need to be established to meet the growing demand in the drone industry.

This study aims to examine the regional differences in health disorder factors of fire officials across the country. As a result, the regional differences in job risk factors, risk factors in the field, and risk factors for health disorders were found to be insignificant. In urban areas such as Seoul, Incheon, and Daejeon, the perception of health disorder factors was similar. This is because the risk factors recognized by fire suppression agents, rescue workers, and paramedics are similar. In addition, in the difference of field risk factors, it is judged that the difference of region is insignificant because most urban areas have narrow jurisdiction and high population density, and the accident frequency in narrow areas is relatively high. Finally, the difference in the risk factors of health disorder was found to be insignificant due to the similar risk factors of fire officials' exposure to fire fighting activities due to smoke in the field, harmful gas, lack of sleep, and cerebral cardiovascular diseases caused by job stress.

The corruption scandal of North Korea has seen by UN reports said the food and humanitarian aid being diverted to corrupt bureaucrat, whereby requesting to open an investigation. Given int'l inquiry, North Korea has responded by the paradox of human rights and sovereignty, which reflected human security and the principle of nonintervention. That is not, however, only North Korea's assertion in which some way analogous to a long-standing claim of the third world : the issue of North and South, and imperialism versus anti-colonialism. From the sense, the analysis has focused the normative issue of human rights and state sovereignty, and has explored the sphere of the notion in which North Korea engaged the Third World enquiring the justice of the core in line with anti-corruption regime's evolvement. Secondly, it evolved to show what attributes the paradoxical logic to North Korean regime's highly rigid political sense, namely sovereign priority.

Purpose: To develop an instrument that measures seogeulpeum in Korean middle-aged adults. Design: An extensive literature review, examination of existing instruments, and three focus group interviews revealed three domains of seogeulpeum: physical characteristics, psychological characteristics, and social characteristics. An original 42-item questionnaire was drafted. Five experts examined its content validity and reduced it to 32 items. To refine the instrument further, and test its reliability and validity, data were collected from 521 middle-aged participants in Korea. Results: Principal component factor analysis of the instrument using varimax rotation indicated that seven factors explained 52.12% of the total variance. Discussion and conclusions: This instrument demonstrated high reliability and validity; therefore, it is an appropriate measure of seogeulpeum for Korean middle-aged adults. Implications for practice: How seogeulpeum differs from depression and grief, if it can develop into a disorder, and how it should be treated require further examination.
