The study aims to identify the degree and types of spatial recessions in Si/Gun and Eup/Myun units within Chungcheong region in South Korea to contribute to the efforts being made to diagnose the rural recession and the potentials. To this end, we analyzed 27 Sis and Guns to identify the degree of recession and potentials of rural areas in Chungcheong region. We also carried out the diagnosis and K-Means Clustering on 274 Eups and Myuns, smaller administrative units, to figure out the types and characteristics of the rural recessions. In case of the analysis targeting the Sis and Guns, a relatively high degree of rural recession was found in Cheongyang, Seocheon and Taean for Chungcheongnam-do, and in Danyang and Goisan, as well as in Boeun, Okcheon and Youngdong - which are collectively called as 'Southern 3 Areas in Chungcheongbuk-do' as they are conventionally known by their high degree of rural recession. According to the results of the clustering analysis carried out on the 166 Eups and Myuns, there were five outstanding clusters. They were; areas with housing deterioration (29), areas with poor economic foundation (16), areas with poor accessibility to central areas (42), areas with poor residential environment (51) and areas with aged population (28). The findings and results of the present study are likely to serve as a basis for the design and enforcement of forthcoming rural area activation policies. Also, it would be highly recommended that a more comprehensive diagnosis is taken from a community-level perspective and policy suggestions and strategies tailored for rural communities are further discussed.

Purpose: This study investigates the necessary educational materials from the perspective of caregivers managing food allergies of preschoolers. Methods: An online survey enrolled 400 caregivers of preschoolers with food allergies. The study was conducted in July 2022, and data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Results: The caregivers of preschoolers with food allergies showed low food allergy knowledge. The highest percentage of incorrect answers were for items related to the cause (74.2%) and response (65.2%) to food allergies. Moreover, categorizing the levels of knowledge as high, medium, and low, we found that caregivers with younger children exhibited a better understanding of food allergies. Approximately 56.9% of subjects in the high class were caregivers with preschoolers under three years, whereas caregivers with preschoolers over four years comprised 43.2% of the high-class subjects. Regarding food allergy treatment, four questions measured how well the caregivers tended to the children. With higher levels of knowledge, caregivers were more likely to read nutrient information and check for food allergens. The caregivers of preschoolers who were clinically diagnosed with food allergies demonstrated a higher percentage of using separate ingredients and cooking utensils. Conclusion: This study shows how the caregivers' knowledge levels are critical in managing and treating food allergies among preschoolers. With caregivers' lower knowledge of food allergies and preschoolers younger than four years, self-diagnosis of food allergies and existing food allergies were not managed efficiently. Hence, customized education for caregivers is essential to improve their knowledge level regarding limiting foods that may cause allergies, reading food labels, and using ingredients and cooking utensils separately.

Objective : The PDSQ is a brief and psychometrically strong self-report scale designed to screen for common DSM-IV Axis I disorders in clinical settings. In this study, the K-PDSQ was compared with the M.I.N.I.-Plus (Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview-Plus) for diagnostic validity and availability of the K-PDSQ as a part of standardization of the K-PDSQ. Methods : The 640 patients were evaluated with the K-PDSQ and the M.I.N.I.-Plus. Diagnosing with the M.I.N.I.-Plus, the diagnostic correspondence, administering time, sensitivity, specificity, ROC curve, and AUC of the K-PDSQ were evaluated. Results : For the diagnostic correspondence of the K-PDSQ, Cohen's kappa coefficient was .66 between the K-PDSQ and the M.I.N.I.-Plus. The administering time of the K-PDSQ was $18.2{\pm}11.80$ minutes. Both sensitivity and specificity of the K-PDSQ were higher: the mean sensitivity across 10 subscales of K-PDSQ was 86%; the mean specificity was 84%. All AUCs of each subscale were above .80, which were statistically significant. Conclusion : The K-PDSQ is valid and available as a diagnostic screening tool. It will be widely used in clinical settings for screening DSM-IV Axis I diagnosis because of its simplicity and high reliability.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the degree of improvement in strengths by mixing blast-furnace slag and fly ash in polymer cement mortar(PCM). The test specimens are prepared with EVA polymer dispersion, two types of Admixtures (blast-furnace slag and fly ash), five kinds of polymer-cement ratios (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%), and six kinds of admixtures (0, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20%). Plain cement mortar is also made for comparison. From the test results, the flowing of PCM is greatly improved with the mixing of the admixtures, and strengths of PCM compared to ordinary cement mortar are also improved due to a decrease in water cement ratio. In addition, the strength characteristics of PCM by admixtures are greatly improved in flexural strength with fly ash compared to other strengths. It is apparent that the optimum mix proportions with polymer-cement ratio of 10% or more, admixture contents 5 to 10% of flay ash for flexural strength improvement of EVA-cement mortar are recommended in this study.

Steel corrosion due to carbonation in RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures easily occurs in urban cities with high CO₂ concentration. RC structures are always subjected to external loading with various boundary conditions. The induced stress level causes changes in diffusion of harmful ion like CO₂. In this work, a quantification of carbonation progress with stress level is carried out and carbonation prediction is derived through the relations. Determining the design parameters like cover depth, CO₂ diffusion coefficient, carbonatable materials, and exterior CO₂ concentration as random variables, service lifes under carbonation with design parameter's variation are obtained through MCS(Monte Carlo Simulation). Additionally the service life with different stress level is derived and the results are compared with those from deterministic method. Cover depth and cement hydrates are evaluated to be very effective to resist carbonation, and the proposed method which can consider the effect of stress on service life can be applied to maintenance priority determination.

정확한 암의 분류는 암의 진단 및 치료에 있어 매우 중요하지만, 암을 진단하기 위한 기존의 여러 방법들은 종종 불완전한 결과를 도출한다. 최근의 마이크로어레이 기술에 기반한 분자 수준의 진단은 정확하고 객관적이며 체계적인 암의 분류를 위한 방법론을 제시해준다. 유전자 발현 데이터는 일반적으로 수천개 이상의 유전자를 포함하는데, 유전자 발현 데이터의 모든 유전자가 암과 관련이 있는 것이 아니므로 정확한 암을 분류하기 위하여 중요한 유전자만을 추출하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 논문에서 음의 상관관계를 갖는 두 개의 이상적인 유전자 벡터를 정의한 후 이와 유사한 정도를 기준으로 중요한 유전자 집단을 추출하고, 각각을 신경망으로 학습하여 결합하는 신경망 쌍을 제안한다. 실험 결과는 음의 상관관계를 갖는 두 개의 유전자 집단이 암의 클래스를 잘 구분할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 이 유전자 집단을 특징으로 하여 각각 학습한 신경망을 베이시안 방법으로 결합한 결과, 벤치마크 데이터에 대하여 신경망 쌍이 개별 분류기에 비해 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

배전케이블 수 트리 현상은 XLPE케이블의 고장을 초래하는 주요원인이다. 수 트리에 기인한 신호는 아주 미세하여 현장진단은 배경 잡음으로 인해 검출이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 고주파특성이 우수한 L-C결합센서를 사용하여 방전신호를 측정하고 이를 주파수영역에서의 분석을 통해 현장에서 부분방전이 발생하기 훨씬 이전에 존재하는 미세신호(Pre-Discharge)를 검출하고 분석한 결과를 제시하였다. 케이블 내 수(水) 트리가가 존재하면 이것이 이종 절연물의 경계면 역할을 하석 서-지 임피던스의 차이로 인해 케이블 단자에서 발생하는 전기적 신호가 수 트리 지점에서 다수의 반사를 일으켜 그 잡음 수준을 높이는 역한을 하게 되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 만일 여러 개소에 수 트리가 존재하는 경우에는 그 배경잡음을 현저하게 높이는 결과를 보여주었다. 실험실에서 발생하는 미세 신호와 현장의 신호를 비교한 결과 아주 유사한 패턴이 있음이 파악되어 이 방법은 수 트리의 활선 진단이 가능함을 확인시켜 주었다.
