Recently, prestressed concrete(PSC) bridge structures with many repetitive spans have been widely constructed using the segmental construction method in many countries. In these segmentally constructed PSC bridges, there exist many construction joints which is required coupling of tendons or overlapping of tendons to introduce continuous prestress through several spans of bridges. The purpose of this paper is to investigate in detail the complicated stress distributions around the tendon coupled joints in prestressed concrete girders. To this end, a comprehensive experimental program has been set up and a series of specimens have been tested to identify the effects of tendon coupling. The present study indicates that the longitudinal and transverse stress distributions of PSC girders with tendon couplers are quite different from those of PSC girders without tendon couplers. It is seen that the longitudinal compressive stresses introduced by prestressing are greatly reduced around coupled joints according to tendon coupling ratios. The large reduction of compressive stresses around the coupled joints may cause deleterious cracking problems in PSC girder bridges due to tensile stresses arising from live loads, shrinkage and temperature effects. The analysis results by finite element method correlate very well with test results observed complex strain distributions of tendon coupled members. It is expected that the results of this paper will provide a good basis for realistic design guideline around tendon coupled joints in PSC girder bridges.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a mentoring program for stress management among Korean adolescents and to assess the effects of the program. Methods: The nonequivalent control group (CG) pretest-posttest design was used in this study. The mentoring intervention was delivered to 18 middle school students (males and females) but nothing was done to the control group consisting of 18 students. The mentoring intervention was conducted by seven nursing students who participated in the program as mentors using various methods such as individual meetings and group activities. The dependent variable was stress level. Results: The program consisted of group and individual mentoring. At follow-up, although the mentees's satisfaction was high and they stated qualitatively positive experience, the difference of stress level between the two groups was not significant. Conclusion: If future mentoring programs reflect the limitation of the current program, they may have potential as developmentally appropriate interventions for stress management of adolescents, and enable nursing students to gain confidence in their professional capability.

가뭄은 수개월, 수년 이상에 걸쳐 서서히 발생 및 지속되며, 식생에 대한 피해가 발생할 때까지 확실한 인식이 어렵다. 최근에는 기후변화로 인하여 가뭄의 발생빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 기상 이상에 따른 다양한 형태의 가뭄이 발생하고 있다. 미국에서 정의한 'Flash Drought'는 비교적 짧은 기간 동안 표면온도의 상승과 비정상적으로 낮고 빠르게 감소하는 토양수분으로 인하여 식생에 대한 극심한 스트레스를 유발하면서 광범위한 작물 손실 및 용수공급 감소 등에 대한 피해를 야기하는 가뭄이다. 국내에서는 Flash Drought에 대한 모니터링이 활성화되지 않았기 때문에 본 연구에서는 '돌발가뭄'이라는 새로운 정의를 제시하면서 토양수분, 증발산량, 강수량, 기온 등의 가뭄 관련 주요인자를 활용하여 국내에서 발생한 돌발가뭄 (Flash Drought)를 감지하고 분석하고자 하였다. 돌발가뭄을 분석하기 위하여 선행연구에서 제시한 가뭄 관련 주요인자 기준 유형, 증발산량 기반 가뭄지수를 활용한 유형 등을 활용하였으며, 지상관측자료로는 국내 76개 종관기상관측 자료를 활용하였다. 또한, 토양수분 자료는 GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) 위성영상 자료를 취득한 후 5 km 공간해상도 자료로 활용하였다. 가뭄지수의 경우 증발산 기반 가뭄지수 중 표준강수증발산지수 SPEI (Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration), 증발스트레스지수 ESI (Evaporative Stress Index) 등을 활용하여 국내 돌발가뭄 유형에 대한 분석에 적용하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 아직 명확하게 정의되지 않은 돌발가뭄에 대한 유형별 분석 및 국내 돌발가뭄의 수문기상학적 특성을 분석하고자 한다.

This study utilized Q methodology to analyze subjectivity and understand the various factors contributing to the employment difficulties faced by college students majoring in digital content, particularly focusing on practical education. The original data was obtained by administering a Q sample, designed around employment stress and job anxiety, to a purposively selected P sample of 31 individuals, who sorted and classified the statements. The analysis yielded four distinct types: 'lack of practical experience,' 'lack of employment and practical skills,' 'impaired career decision-making and weak will,' and 'lack of mentors and employment information.' Based on these types, the study suggests several implications and solutions, including facilitating student participation in internship programs, offering induction and non-curricular program education, conducting career exploration workshops, and expanding senior mentoring opportunities.

The load transfer mechanism of hybrid model of soil-nailing and compression anchor is studied in this paper. The hybrid model is composed of an anchor bar (installed at the tip) with two PC strands and a steel bar. It can make active behavior of skin friction by applying the pre-stress. In this paper, the load transfer mechanisms of soil-nailings, compression anchors, and hybrid models, respectively, are obtained from skin friction theory and load transfer theory. Field pullout tests are performed to identify the load transfer mechanism and experimental results are compared with analytical solution. In case of soil-nailings, the tension load is transferred from face to tip, however, in case of compression anchors, the compression load is transferred from tip to face. The experimental behavior of the hybrid model is similar to that of compression anchor when only pre-stress is applied. If the pullout test is performed by simultaneously pulling out the anchor and the nail, the compression load is dominant at the tip and tension load is dominant at the face. The load transfer mechanism of the hybrid model shows the combined behavior of soil-nailings with compression anchors.

A polymer-based flexible neural probe was fabricated for monitoring of neural activities from a brain. To improve the insertion stiffness, a 5 ${\mu}m$ thick biocompatible Au layer was electroplated between the top and bottom polymer layers. The developed neural probe penetrated a gel whose elastic modulus is similar to that of a live brain tissue without any fracture, To minimize mechanical residual stress and bending from the probe, two new methods were employed: (1) use of a thermal annealing process after completing the device and (2) incorporation of multiple different layers to compensate the residual stress between top and bottom layers. Mechanical bending around the probe tip was clearly removed after employing the two processes. In electrical test, the developed probe showed a proper impedance value to record neural signals from a brain and the result remained the same for 72 hours. In simple in-vitro probe characterization, the probe showed a great removal of residual stress and an excellent recording performance. The in-vitro recording results did not change even after 1 week, suggesting that this electrode has the potential for great recording from neuron firing and long-term implant performance.

고립된 해상 작업 환경에서의 작업자의 건강상태 관리와 혹시 모를 추락탐지는 작업자의 안전을 위해 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 고립공간 작업자의 안전을 모니터링하기 위한 헬멧에 부착할 수 있는 IoT 시스템을 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이는 장치가 작업 중에 긴급 상황인지 신속하게 판단할 수 있다. 스마트폰은 누구나 들고 다니기 때문에 사용자 환경은 스마트폰을 이용하여 적용되었다. 작업자들이 착용할 용도이기 때문에 PPG 센서는 불편하지 않도록 귀에 부착한다. PPG 센서를 단독으로 사용하여 스트레스 정도를 파악한다. 3축 가속도 센서는 헬멧에 부착되고 추락을 감지하는데 사용된다. 우리는 여러 센서와 블루투스 통신을 이용하여 발전된 센서 시스템을 만든다. 또한, 우리는 3축 가속도 샘플을 분석하고 정규화하는 알고리즘을 JAVA에서 구현하였다. 스마트 폰을 사용하는 이점은 신호 처리를 위해 별도의 마이크로프로세서(mcu)가 필요하지 않으며 내부 통신 시스템을 통해 제어 센터에 정보를 전송할 수 있다는 것이다.
