본 연구는 국내에 있는 한 금융사에서 사용하고 있는 기존 인사평가시스템을 사례로 하여 시스템 운영자와 사용자(모든 임직원)가 시스템을 효율적으로 운영하고 사용할 수 있도록 인사평가시스템을 재구축하였다. 새로 구축될 인사평가시스템의 효율을 보다 높이기 위해 인사평가 업무와 평가 절차를 분석하고 그러한 평가체계를 기존 legacy 시스템(인사평가시스템)에 어떻게 반영이 되었는지도 분석하였다. 해당 금융사는 기존 평가시스템을 통하여 임원과 직원뿐 아니라, 비정규직원까지 년마다 상반기와 하반기로 나누어 업적과 역량평가를 각각 두번씩 실시하고 있었다. 평가결과는 나중에 보상이나 승진 시에 중요한 고과자료로 활용하고 있었다. 업적과 역량평가 뿐만 아니라, 신업사원을 대상으로 하는 정규직 수습평가와 계약직을 대상으로 한 역량평가 그리고 전직원이 대상인 다면평가도 실시하고 있었다. 그런데 여러 해에 걸쳐 인사평가를 실시하는 과정에서 평가프로세스가 여러 차례 변하였고, 많은 평가대상자를 평가하다 보니 예외적으로 처리해야 하는 경우도 발생하였다. 이런 변화와 예외적인 사항을 기존 Lagacy시스템에 반영하다 보니 평가데이터를 관리하는 테이블이 처음보다는 많이 늘어나게 되어 현재 약 170개에 달하고 있었다. 이렇게 많은 테이블 중에는 당시에는 사용했으나, 현재는 사용하지 않게 된 것도 포함되어 있었다. 프로그램 소스도 마찬가지로 새로운 요구사항과 많은 예외사항 처리로 인해 복잡해지고 프로그램 소스의 수도 늘어나게 되었다. 이로 인해 평가시스템 담당자는 시스템을 관리하기가 복잡해지고, 새로운 변화나 요구사항에 대응하기가 어려운 사항이었다. 그리고 담당자가 시스템 관리에 더 더욱 어려움을 겪게된 것은 시스템 담당자가 여러 번 바뀌는 과정에서 인수인계에 제대로 이루어 지지 않게 되었고 인사평가시스템 관리문서도 시스템 변화에 따른 히스토리 내용이 제대로 관리되지 못하고 있었기 때문이다. 그래서 이번 연구에서는 기존 legacy 시스템의 테이블과 프로그램 소스를 분석하여 방만하게 늘어날 데이터 관리 테이블을 효율적으로 줄이고, 예외적인 사항을 새로운 인사평가시스템에서 포괄적으로 수용할 수 있도록 재설계하였다. 또한 인사평가시스템 운영중에도 사용자(임직원)들로부터 있을 수 있는 예외적 요구사항을 미리 예측하여 운영담당자가 신속하고 정확하게 대응 할 수 있도록 하였다.

This study is carried out to assess the relative effects of different doses of dietary glucose or fructose on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hepatic metaflammation in a rodent model of type 2 diabetes. KK/HlJ male mice were fed experimental diets as follows: 1) control (CON), 2) moderate glucose (MG, 30% of total calories as glucose), 3) high glucose (HG, 60% of total calories as glucose), 4) moderate fructose (MF, 30% of total calories as fructose), and 5) high fructose (HF, 60% of total calories as fructose) for three weeks. Food intake was not affected by treatments. Compared with HF, HG not only increased serum fasting glucose and area under the curve during oral glucose tolerance test, but also decreased the levels of serum insulin and adiponectin. It indicated that glucose control was complicated via high glucose intake. High fructose treatment led to increased triglyceride in the serum and liver. In comparison to HG, high fructose diet activated NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome consisting of apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), NLRP3 and caspase 1, which increases interleukin (IL)-$1{\beta}$ maturation and secretion. The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome was accompanied by increased levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$) and IL-6. However, the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome components and pro-inflammatory cytokines did not differ between CON and HG. These data suggested that dietary fructose triggers hepatic metaflammation accompanied by NLRP3 inflammasome activation and has deleterious effects on NAFLD.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted several regulations for the prevention of air pollution from ships. In addition, there is a requirement for shipping liners to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Accordingly, we need to take measurements to ensure that the steps taken are both efficient and environmentally friendly. It has been determined that the application of the Miller cycle in diesel engines has the effect of both reducing the amount of NOx and improving thermal efficiency. However, this method requires a considerably larger charge air pressure. Therefore, we consider a two-stage turbo-charging system, which not only results in a high charging pressure, but also improves the part load performance with an exhaust-gas bypass system or the application of the Miller cycle. Because of complications associated with the two-stage turbo-charging system, it is complex and difficult to realize a design that optimizes matching between diesel engine and turbo-chargers. Accordingly, it is necessary to perform a quantitative analysis to determine the effects and optimal conditions of these different systems in the early stage of system design. In this paper, we develop a simulation program to model these systems, and we verify that the results of this program are reliable. Further, we discuss methods that can be employed to improve its efficiency.

This study focuses on the current practices and teacher's perceptions of highschool Home Economics Education in Busan, Ulsan and Kyungnam area. Data were collected from 70 teachers with the questionnaire by mail. The results were following : 1. Home Economics have been teamed at schools of class rooms mere than 31, women's high schools and public schools. Teachers more than $70\%$ have operated and lessoned with 4 or 5 among 5 sectors of subject matters, especially emphasized family${\cdot}$human development and food${\cdot}$nutrition sectors. The most difficulties were the shortages of student's interest and reference books. 2. Teachers have cognized highly the connection of Technology${\cdot}$Home Economics and Home Economics, but evaluated lowly the job-course education among the H.E's goals. 3. Necessities of HE were evaluated highly, but student's interests by teacher's judgement lowly. Manual theses of clothing${\cdot}$textile and housing sectors have needs to alter partly. 4. Subject matters to add for the near future revision were related to dissatisfaction of H.E's matters. Teachers cognized problems about the excess, overlap, old-fashioned and irrelevant deepen levels of subject matters.

One of the steps in angiogenesis is the degradation of the underlying basement membrane via proteases. Endothelial cells release proteinases to degrade the extracellular matrix for their sprouting in vivo. In this study, we examined the effect of water extracts of Phellinus linteusis(Phellinus extracts) and combination of Phellinus extracts and fibroblast growth factor(FGF-2) on cultured porcine pulmonary artery endothelial cells(PPAECs). Phellinus extracts induced sprouting of PPAECs, which was inhibited by MMPs and plasmin inhibitors, and induced the secretion of matrix metalloproteinase-3(MMP-3) and plasmin. At high concentration of Phellinus extracts($200{\sim}400{\mu}g/mL$), the active MMP-2 secretion was induced. It is therefore, suggested that Phellinus extracts induces the sprouting of cultured endothelial cells by means of increased active MMP-2 and plasmin secretion. Also, combination with Phellinus extracts and FGF-2 produced an enhanced effect on sprouting and secretion of active MMP-2, and MMP-3 and plasmin from PPAECs.

High-cell-density cultivation of Ralstonia eutopha KHB 8862 by fed-batch fermentation in a 200 l pilot plant was carried out for the mass production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). After 80 h of cultivation, the dry cell weight (DCW), PHB concentration, and PHB yield from fructose syrup reached 168 g/l, 74%DCW, and 0.27 (w/w), respectively, resulting in a productivity of 1.6 g of PHB/L/h. Based on these results, the PHB production cost from bacterial fermentation was analyzed and economic evaluation was performed. In the case of new investment being implemented or not, the production cost of PHB was US$ 3.15/kg and US$ 2.41/kg, respectively. PHB productivity and PHB yield on a carbon substrate were both important factors to be optimized. The increase of PHB yield on a carbon sources significantly decreased the PHB production cost but the increase in productivity had a relatively slight effect on the decrease in PHB production cost because the cost of carbon sources (37%) for PHB was larger in proportion to total cost than the depreciation cost (17%). These results suggest that the increased PHB yield from carbon sources and the development of new cheaper substrates would be more effective in decreasing PHB production cost than the increase in productivity. It was demonstrated that PHB is not in competition with consumable plastics such as PET in present market. Therefore, it is essential to lower production cost to be used as a bulk product and desirable to develop new application fields for PHB such as biomedical and cosmeceuticals.

Diversity of the mud flat microbial population in Suncheon Bay was investigated by studying extracellular enzyme activities and 16S rDNA sequences. Four culturable bacterial strains with CMCase, xylanase and protease activities were isolated from the wetland and the mud flat. All the strains produced more xylanase activity than CMCase or protease activity, and the properties of the isolate enzymes from the wetland were similar to those from the mud flat. About 2,000 clones were obtained with the 16S rDNA amplified from the metagenomic DNA isolated from the mud samples. Based on the restriction pattern(s), seventeen clones were selected for base sequence analysis. Of the 17 clones, only 35% (6 clones) were found to be cultured strains and 65% (11 clones) to be uncultured strains. The similarities in the base sequences of the clones ranged from 91.0% to 99.9% with an average similarity of 97.3%. The clones could be divided into 7 groups, Proteobacteria (9 clones, 52.9%), Firmicutes (3 clones, 17.6%), Bacteroidetes (1 clone), Flavobacteria (1 clone), Verrucomicrobia (1 clone), Acidobacteria (1 clone), and Chloroflexi (1 clone). Most of the Proteobacteria clones were gamma Proteobacteria associated with oxidation-reduction of sulfur.
