일반적으로 농업용수 이용량은 기후, 토양, 지역별 재배 특성 등에 따라 다양하게 나타날 수 있으며, 용수공급 계획을 위해 수요량 추정방법을 이용하고 있다. 농업용수 수요량은 논과 밭 등에서 작물 재배에 필요한 용수량이라 정의할 수 있으며, 구체적으로는 작물 재배에 소요되는 전체 용수량에서 강우에 의해 공급되는 양을 제외한 수량으로 볼 수 있다. 현재 농업용수 수요량의 추정 방법은 현장에서 직접 실측하는 방법, 대표 작물을 대상으로 계측한 후 일반화 하는 방법, 증발산 이론에 의하여 추정하는 방법 등으로 구분 되며, 최근 광역적인 분석으로 증발산 이론에 의한 추정 방법을 주로 사용하고 있다. 농업용 지하수 이용은 국내 지하수 이용량의 51%를 차지하고 있어 보다 적확한 농업용 지하수 사용량조사는 지하수의 효율적 정책 추진을 위하여 중요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 현장조사로 수집한 자료를 이용해 각 조사지역의 사용량을 추정하고 월별사용량 및 단위면적당 사용량을 분석하는 것이다. 조사지역은 창녕함안보(오천리, 성산리), 합천창녕보(율지리), 달성보(좌학리, 위천리), 구미보(궁기리)이고, 지하수사용량을 분석하기 위해 유량계(계량기) 검침, 전력사용량 검침, 수중모터펌프 가동시간을 이용하였으며, 조사기간은 2018년 12월 부터 2020년 02월 까지 이다. 농업용관정 조사시 실제 지하수를 사용하는 면적(ha)도 같이 조사해, 월별 지하수사용량에 실제사용면적(ha)을 나누어 면적당 지하수사용량으로 분석하였다. 조사결과 창녕함안보 오천리는 20,956㎥/mon/ha, 창녕함안보 성산리는 19,911㎥/mon/ha, 합천창녕보 율지리는 3,648㎥/mon/ha, 달성보 좌학리는 2,417㎥/mon/ha, 달성보 위천리는 3,546㎥/mon/ha, 구미보 궁기리는 619㎥/mon/ha로 분석되었다. 수막재배가 많은 창녕함안보가 지하수사용량이 가장 많았으며, 구미보의 경우 지하수사용량이 가장 적은 것으로 분석되었다. 월별 지하수 사용량을 살펴보면 2019년 01월 ~ 02월 보다 2020년 01월 ~ 02월의 평균 지하수 사용량이 793㎥/mon/ha 적게 분석되었고, 평균기온은 2019년 01월에 0.3℃, 2020년 1월은 2.6℃로 2.3℃ 높다. 이는 겨울철 지하수 사용량에 영향을 주었다고 판단된다. 겨울철 지하수 사용량차이는 재배작물과 겨울철 기온차이가 원인으로 판단되며, 다년간 지하수사용량과 기온을 조사할 필요가 있다.

Evaluating the empirical validity of Modern Monetary Theory, this study implements panel cointegration analysis on annual panel data (2000-2022) of OECD countries. Specifically, the sample countries are divided into groups based on the presence of their own sovereign currencies, and for each group, the long-run equilibrium relation (cointegration) between the ratio of public debt or fiscal deficit and government bond rates is tested and estimated. Main findings are as follows: applying the pooled mean-group estimation for panel cointegration, it is found that both the ratios of public debt and fiscal deficit have significantly positive long-run correlation with government bond rates in countries without sovereign currency such as the Euro-zone or fixed exchange rate regime countries. However, in countries with sovereign currency such as non-Euro-zone or floating exchange rate regime countries, the long-run correlation is either negative or not statistically significant. Particularly, in countries without sovereign currency, the ratio of public debt has significantly positive correlation with the real government bond rates in the short run as well as the long run. These results are consistent with the prediction of Modern Monetary Theory, thus providing a supporting evidence for the empirical validity of the theory.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have become an increasing concern in terms of human health risks as well as aesthetic impairment due to their toxicity. The reduction of water pollutants, especially nutrients from non-point sources in a reservoir watershed, is fundamental for HABs prevention. We investigated the pollutant removal efficiencies of a constructed wetland to evaluate its feasibility as a method for controlling non-point sources located in the Annaecheon stream within the Daecheong Reservoir watershed. The overall removal efficiencies of pollutants were as follows: BOD 14.3%, COD 17.9%, SS 50.0%, T-N 19.0%, and T-P 35.4%. These results indicate that constructed wetlands are effective in controlling pollutants from non-point sources. The seasonal variation in removal efficiency depended on the specific pollutants. The removal efficiencies of BOD, COD, and T-N were stable throughout the year, except during winter, which might have been influenced by lower microorganism activity. In contrast, T-P showed a consistent removal efficiency even during the winter season, suggesting that the wetland can reduce external phosphorus loading to the reservoir. Regarding the effects of pollutant loadings on removal efficiency, the effluent concentrations of all pollutants were significantly decreased compared to those in the influent in case of middle and high loadings. This demonstrates that constructed wetlands can handle high pollutant loads, including the initial runoff during rainfall, to prevent reservoir eutrophication. Despite the various strengths of wetland water purification, there are limitations as passive treatment. Therefore, more case studies should be conducted to suggest optimum operational conditions for constructed wetlands, taking into consideration reservoir-specific characteristics.

Small and medium-sized mountain rivers that flow through steep, confined valleys carry large amounts of coarse-grained sediment and woody debris during floods. It causes an increase in flood water level by aggrading the riverbed and the cross-section blockage due to driftwood accumulation during flooding. However, the existing flood level calculation in the river basic plan does not consider these changes. In this study, using the Typhoon Hinnamnor flood in September 2022 as an example, we performed numerical simulations using the HEC-RAS model, taking into account the blockage of a cross-section at the bridge and changes in riverbed elevation that occurred during floods, and analyzed the flood level to predict flood risk. This study's results show that flooding occurs if more than 30% of the cross-section is blocked. The rise of flood water levels corresponds to that of the riverbed due to sediment deposition. These results can be used as basic data to prevent and effectively manage flood damage and contribute to establishing flood defense measures that consider actual phenomena.

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of ego resilience on the relationship between family strengths of Chinese international students and Social Networking Services(SNS) addiction tendency. The data were collected through a survey of 349 Chinese international students studying in Korea and analyzed using the SPSS Statistics version 28 program and SPSS Process Macro 4.3. The main results are as follows. First, Chinese international students exhibited higher-than-average levels of SNS addiction tendency, family strengths, and ego resilience. Second, the SNS addiction tendency of Chinese international students had a significant positive correlation with the average time spend on SNS per day. while demonstrating a negative correlation with family strengths and ego resilience. Third, the hierarchical regression analysis revelated that gender, frequency of contact with family, average time spend on SNS per day, qualitative bond as a sub variable of family strengths, and control as a sub variables of ego resilience were significant factors influencing SNS addiction tendency of Chinese international students. Fourth, the study confirmed the complete mediation of ego resilience in the effect of family strengths on SNS addiction tendency. Based on the research results, this study suggested specific directions for counseling interventions aimed at mitigating SNS addiction tendencies among Chinese international students.

Korea prepares for potential floods by designating June 21st to September 20th as the flood season. However, many dams in Korea have suffered from extreme floods caused by different climate patterns, as in the case of the longest consecutive rain of 54 days in the 2020's flood season. In this context, various studies have tried to develop novel methodologies to reduce flood damage, but no study has ever dealt with the validity of the current statutory flood season thus far. This study first checked the validity of the current flood season through the observation data in the 21st century and proved that the current flood season does not consider the effects of increasing precipitation trends and the changing regional rainfall characteristics. In order to deal with these limitations, this study suggested seven new alternative flood seasons in the research area. The rigid reservoir operation method (ROM) was used for reservoir simulation, and the long short-term memory (LSTM) model was used to derive predicted inflow. Finally, all alternatives were evaluated based on whether if they exceeded the design discharge of the dam and the design flood of the river. As a result, the floods in the shifted period were reduced by 0.068% and 0.33% in terms of frequency and duration, and the magnitude also decreased by 24.6%, respectively. During this period, the second evaluation method also demonstrated that flood decreased from four to two occurrences. As the result of this study, the authors expect a formal reassessment of the flood season to take place, which will ultimately lead to the preemptive flood response to changing precipitation patterns.

This study characterized areas at risk of land creep by focusing on a site that has undergone this phenomenon in Ulju-gun, South Korea. Land creep in the area of interest was catalyzed by road expansion work conducted in 2022. The site was examined on the basis of its geological features, topography, effective soil depth, soil hardness, electrical resistivity, and subsurface profile. It consists of a slope covered with sparse vegetation and a concave top that retains rainwater during rainfall. Compositionally, land creep affected the shale, sandstone, and conglomerate formations on the site, which had little silt and more sand and clay compared with areas that were unaffected by land creep. An electrical resistivity survey enabled us to detect a groundwater zone at the site, which explains the softness of the soil. Finally, the effective soil depth at the land creep-affected area was 30.4 cm on average, indicating deep colluvial deposits. In contrast, unaffected sites had an effective soil depth of 24.7 cm on average. These results should facilitate the creation of systems for monitoring and preemptively responding to land creep, significantly mitigating the socioeconomic losses associated with this phenomenon.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the flood flow and the range of inundation in the downstream area of the Aprokgang(Riv.) that occurred in 2024 using satellite images. The study area was the Aprokgang(Riv.) watershed, the longest river in North Korea. Satellite image Sentinel-1A(SAR-C) data was used for flood analysis before and after the flood. As a result of the analysis of the inundation range using satellite images, it was confirmed that there was a change in the water surface before and after the flood. However, the image after the flood was taken six days after the peak discharge of the flood, so there are limitations in extracting the accurate extent of the flooding. As a result of the analysis using satellite precipitation and ground observed rainfall, the rainfall exceeded 500-year rainfall amount, and the peak-flow was simulated as 85,102 m³/s. As a result of analyzing the inundation range by using the contour lines from AW3D30, it was determined that the inundation occurred around the 15 m contour line. In the future, it is need to conduct a study that can extract more scientifically the inundation range through the use of the inundation analysis model.

It has been reported that the failure of Carsington Dam in Eng1and occured due to the existence of a thin yellow clay layer which was not identified during the design work, and due to pre-existing shears of the clay layer. The slope stability analyses during the design work, which utilized traditional circular arc type failure method and neglected the existence of the clay layer, showed a safety factor of 1.4. However, the post-failure analyses which utilized translational failure mode considering the clay layer and the pre-existing shear deformation revealed the reduction of safety factor to unity. The post-failure analysis assumed 10。 inclination of the horizontal forces onto each slice based on the results of finite element analyses. In this paper, Bishop's simplified method, Janbu method, and Morgenstern-Price method were used for the comparison of both circular and translational failure analysis methods. The effects of the pre-existing shears and subsquent movement were also considered by varying the soil strength parameters and the pore pressure ratio according to the given soi1 parameters. The results showed factor of safefy 1.387 by Bishop's simplified method(STABL) which assumed circular arc failure surface and disregarding yellow clay layer and pre-failure material properties. Also the results showed factor of safety 1.093 by Janbu method(STABL) and 0.969 by Morgenstern-Price method(MALE) which assumed wedge failure surface and considerd yellow clay layer using post failure material properties. In addition, dam behavior was simulated by Cam-Clay model FEM program. The effects of pore pressure changes with loading and consolidation, and strength reduction near or at failure were also considered based on properly assumed stress-strain relationship and pore pressure characteristics. The results showed that the failure was initiated at the yellow clay layer and propagated through other zones by showing that stress and displacement were concentrated at the yel1ow clay layer.

Today, design is not free from fashion, which emerges and vanishes temporarily, and aims at equalization. As a result, products quickly become obsolete because of fashion. This means that the span of products is determined by a social concept, which is not clarified, regardless of their functions. Usable products will gradually disappear from us and it will cause serious environmental problems, unless we can find out measures against fashion. As such, it is important to study the characteristics of the shaker's design in this circumstance. The Shaker's community has a distinguishable difference from other general societies. Temporary fashion and misled information cannot interfere with their consciousness. Religion, the life and the principle of design have developed on the same level in their community. Especially, any decoration or the difference of materials is not allowed in shaker's design. It reflects their thinking that all people are equal in the sight of God. Therefore, any decoration for social and economical superiority can not be used. Through this consciousness, they can be free from fashion or decoration. They, also, believe that they can reach perfection through practicality and simplicity. The reason why shaker's design is not disturbed by fashion is that their belief is involved in their design. Consequently, if religious or conscious contents are primarily set up, design can be free from fashion and products can be used for a long time.
