This study was carried out to examine whether the moderated mediating effect of SNS addiction resulting from marital dissatisfaction and loneliness is influenced by gender or size and composition of social capital. 714 married men and women in their 20's to 40's were participated in this study. The data were collected by online research center with quota sampling based on demographical proportion. To analyze this research model, the moderated mediating effect utilizing structural equation was used. The results of this study were summarized as follows. First, it is verified that the loneliness moderated between marital dissatisfaction and SNS addiction. Since the relationship between independent and dependent variable is insignificant, comparison of competition model was able to determine if mediating effect was fully or partially shown. As a result, the complete mediated model was ultimately chosen because its various goodness-of-fit index including $x^2$ performed fairly well. Second, the mediating effect which moderates social capital size was presented in the mediated model between the marital dissatisfaction, loneliness and SNS addiction. Specifically, It implies that group who recognizes their social capital big recognizes the route and effect size more than that who considers their social capital small. And the moderated mediating effect depending on different type of social capital among the marital dissatisfaction and loneliness and between SNS addiction was substantiated. It implies that disequilibration of SNS social capital in face-to-face sphere and in online acted as a danger fact with respect to the marital dissatisfaction, loneliness and SNS addiction. The implications of these findings were discussed, and directions for future studies were also proposed.

치주질환은 세균감염에 의해 치조골이 파괴되는 염증성질환으로서 치아상실의 주된 원인이다. Treponema denticola는 성인성 치주염의 병소에서 자주 발견되는 세균으로서 부착능 및 단백분해효소생성능과 같은 독성 인자가 밝혀져 치주조직 파괴에 있어서 중요성이 강조되어 왔다. 골개조는 조골세포의 골형성및 파골세포에 의한 골흡수의 균형에 의하여 유지되며 치주염시 야기되는 치조골파괴는 조골세포 및 파골세포 기능의 불균형에 의하여 야기되는 것으로 설명되고 있다. 골세포에 대한 영향으로서 T. denticola는 파골세포의 형성을 촉진시키는 것으로 보고되었으나 조골세포에 대한 영향은 아직 밝혀져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 T. denticola가 골형성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 마우스의 두개골세포로부터 조골세포를 분리한 후 T. denticola분쇄액으로 처리하여 본 세균이 조골세포의 alkaline phosphatase(ALPase) 활성, 석회화결절 형성 및 Prostaglandin $E_2\;(PGE_2)$ 생성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. ALPase활성은 p-nitrophenylphosphate분해능, 석회화결절형성은 Von Kossa 염색법, 그리고 PGE2의 농도는 효소면역측정법으로 측정하였다. T. denticola분쇄액 (2.5 ug/ml)은 마우스 두개골세포의 ALPase활성을 억제하였으며 석회화결절의 형성을 감소시켰다. 또한 동일한 농도의 균분쇄액은 마우스 두개골세포의 $PGE_2$ 생산을 증가시켰다. 균분쇄액과 prostaglandin의 합성억제제인 indomethacin으로 세포를 동시에 처리한 경우 T .denticola분쇄액에 의한 $PGE_2$의 생산은 감소되었으나, ALPase의 활성억제에는 변화가 없었다. 균분쇄액을 열처리하여 마우스 두개골세포에 처리하였을 때에도 ALPase의 활성이 억제되는 것에는 변함이 없었다. 이러한 결과는 T. denticola의 구성성분 중 열에 안정한 물질이 prostaglandin과 무관한 경로를 통해 조골세포의 분화를 억제함을 시사하며 이와 같은 T. denticola에 의한 골형성억제가 치주염시 야기되는 치조골 파괴에 관여할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The functions of urban park including health related benefit and climate adaptation and mitigation are expanding. However, in-depth research and discourse on the equitable distribution of expanded park function has been limited so far. Following research suggests Green Welfare concept to reflect distributive equity and multifunctionality in the process of urban park policy development and execution. This study developed park welfare indices to analyze disparities of neighborhood urban park(NUP) distribution viewed from green welfare by literature review. The findings analyzed through the Correlation Analysis and Cluster Analysis by SPSS 18.0. The results of the study are as follows. First, green welfare is defined as "to receive equitable benefits and participate in the delivery process of green services which are promoting health and securing safety from climate change risks for every citizen by life cycle regardless of socioeconomic status". Second, NUP per person in Seoul indicate meaningful differences by socioeconomic and environmental status of Seoul administrative districts. Park welfare indices correlated to NUP per person were shown population density(negative), percentage of individuals $aged{\geq}65$(positive), percentage of self-reliance of local finance(positive), flood and air pollution vulnerability by climate change(negative). Third, the cluster analysis identifies three significant clusters that indicate differences of park welfare level. Thus, it was found that NUP in Seoul from a green welfare perspective was provided disproportionately. Future urban park policy in Seoul was required equitable distribution of multifunctionality of park beyond quantitative expansion, and priority consideration should be given to park service consumer.

This study examined how the meaning of news stories covering the split of national opinion was constructed in the media to represent social conflicts. To clarify the function of the term 'split of national opinion' as an ultimate term, this study examined the meaning of the term in the context of both text and society. Ten newspapers were included in the content analysis. The frequency of words used for the purpose of metaphor and equivalent in describing the split of national opinion was calculated to determine their meaning in the textual context. The frequency of incidents and subjects involved in allegedly causing the split of national opinion was calculated to determine their meaning in the social context. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, the term 'split of national opinion' was coined by the newspapers as a metaphor of disease, disaster, and cost. The attitudes or the ways in which the split of national opinion was dealt with were generally negative and passive. Second, the term 'split of national opinion' was dealt with an equivalent status of such terms as national policy, national loss, societal problems, and ideology. Third, each newspaper reported that the split of national opinion had been caused by certain subjects, which indicates that each newspaper had its own position of viewing who was the key player in splitting the national opinion. The implication was also discussed that the use of the ultimate term would incur the unbalance of power between participants and the existing players, which would make individuals or groups who were involved in the social actions excluded and make the newspapers exercise the rhetorical power as news media.

In this paper, a distributed 2-hop routing algorithm is proposed. The main purpose of the proposed algorithm is to reduce the overall power consumption of each sensor node so that the lifetime of WSN(wireless sensor network) is prolonged. At the beginning of each round, the base station transmits a synchronization signal that contains information on the priority table that is used to decide whether each sensor node is elected as a cluster head or not. The priority table is constructed so that sensor nodes closer to half energy distance from the base station get the higher priority. 2-hop routing is done as follows. Cluster heads inside half energy distance from the base station communicate with the base station directly. Those outside half energy distance have to decide whether they choose 2-hop routing or 1-hop routing. To do this, each cluster head outside half energy distance calculates the energy consumption needed to communicate with the base station via 1-level cluster head or directly. If less energy is needed when passing through the 1-level cluster head, 2-hop routing is chosen and if not, 1-hop routing is chosen. After routing is done each sensor nodes start sensing data.

In this paper, a parallel Optimal Best-First search Branch-and-Bound(B&B) algorithm(pobs) is designed and evaluated for MIN-based multiprocessor systems. The proposed algorithm decomposes a problem into G subproblems, where each subproblem is processed on a group of P processors. Each processor group uses tile sub-Global Best-First search technique to find a local solution. The local solutions are broadcasted through the network to compute the global solution. This broadcast provides not only the comparison of G local solutions but also the load balancing among the processor groups. A performance analysis is then conducted to estimate the speed-up of the proposed parallel B&B algorithm. The analytical model is developed based on the probabilistic properties of the B&B algorithm. It considers both the computation time and communication overheads to evaluate the realistic performance of the algorithm under the parallel processing environment. In order to validate the proposed evaluation model, the simulation of the parallel B&B algorithm on a MIN-based system is carried out at the same time. The results from both analysis and simulation match closely. It is also shown that the proposed Optimal Best-First search B&B algorithm performs better than other reported schemes with its various advantageous features such as: less subproblem evaluations, prefer load balancing, and limited scope of remote communication.

Due to a surplus of rice on the market, there has been a growing interest in developing better processed rice products, especially rice liquor or spirits which are popular and have a large market value. In this study, Takju was made with different varieties of rice and rice powder particle sizes, after which a taste survey was performed and measurements were taken on the characteristics of Takju including the temperature of the fermenting material, sugar content, alcohol content, acidity, amino acid types, colors, etc. The varieties of rice used in the study included Chucheong, Hiami and Anda. The temperature of the brew for each kind of Takju reached its highest point 48 hours after preparation. Differences among rice varieties were only apparent in the acidity and taste evaluations. The acidity was found to be highest with Anda, followed by Chuchoeng and Hiami. Chuchoeng had the highest taste evaluation scores. With regards to particle sizes, the alcohol content and acidity were found to be highest with coarse rice powder while ultra fine rice powder showed the highest fermenting temperature, sugar content, acidity, amino acid type, pH level, color and taste scores right after preparation. The results of this study suggest that among the kinds of Takju made from different rice varieties and particle sizes, the one made from Chucheong ultra fine rice powder is the most preferable over other variations.

The purpose of this study was to find the effects of guava leaf powder as a natural tenderizing ingredient for low-fat pork seasoned with meat sauce, and to promote a consumer demand and practical use of low-fat pork. Moisture content, pH, color, texture, and sensory tests (quantitative descriptive sensory evaluations and acceptance) were conducted to the control and 5 samples of pork seasoned with 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3% guava leaf powder) to determine the highest effectiveness on tenderizing pork. Moisture content and pH values were the highest in the samples with 1% and 1.5% of guava leaf powder added. L-value of cooked meat decreased, while a-value increased. In the texture test, most of the experiments showed the best values in the sample with 1.5% added. Based on quantitative descriptive sensory evaluations, the unpleasant smell of meat tended to decrease with more guava leaf powder, and the scores of the others were highest in the sample with 1.5% added. This sample also got the highest score in the acceptance test. These results can be used as primary data for research on the tenderizing effect of a functional ingredient and solutions to unbalanced consumption of pork.

Based on the soft and rigid extents, tissues are mainly divided into two groups in mammals, soft tissues including heart, lung, kidney and brain, and hard tissues including tendon, cartilage, teeth and bone. Among various tissues, bone, a dynamic rigid organ, is continuously remodeled by the opposing functional activity between bone formation by osteoblasts and bone destruction by osteoclasts. Bone protects the soft tissues and provides mineral reservoirs, which can supply the mineral needs of other soft tissues to normally maintain cellular function. While calcification in bone is an important action to fundamentally support the body and protect the soft tissues, calcification in soft tissues, including the heart, aorta, kidney, lung and spleen, results in severe organ damages, eventually causing sudden death. A growing body of evidence indicates that the osteoporotic patient who are aging, post-menopausal, diabetes and chronic kidney disease simultaneously represent a high clinical incidence of soft tissue calcification, illustrating a link between soft tissue calcification and bone decalcification (osteoporosis). This study will review what is currently known about the connection between bone decalcification and soft tissue calcification.

We analyze the demand and supply in contents for platform differentiation in this paper. The contents provided by new platforms such DMB, IPTV which are introduced by the digital techniques and broadband network are almost same, so it is definitely necessary to differentiate the broadcasting contents for the development of telecommunication industry. To forecast the contents demand needed for each media, we assume 3 scenarios such as maximum, medium and minimum demand for contents considering deregulation of media policy. Also, we include the expected number of channels according to the changeover of policies as a variable for scenario. To predict the supply of contents of each media, we analyze 3 scenarios according to operating rates of production facilities as 100%, 70%, 50% and first-run ratio/rerun ratio of both terrestrial broadcastings and major program providers. The result shows that in case of scenario A, new contents for 453,484 hours are required every year and maximum contents that can be produced in present production facilities are just for 72,852 hours even in condition of 100% operating rate. This means that the unbalance of demand and supply of contents is extremely big and implies that the policies of focusing only on the development of platform and network industry are inadequate. It is time to foster contents business for differentiation of multiplatforms.
