Based on the Merritt-Cummins system, the Korean immature aquatic and semiaquatic insects were reviewed and categorized into 6 different functional feeding groups (FFG) at the generic levels (257 genera belonging to 96 families, 10 orders),Among 257 genera, the most abundant FFG was the predator type consisting of 122(47%) genera. The second and third major groups were gathering-collectors (33genera, 13%) and shredders (21, 8%), respectively. Next group was occupied by scrapers (20,7%), and followed by filtering-collectors (12,5%) and plant-piercers (6, 2%). In addition, a total of 43 genera in 7 orders were remained as uncategorized groups. Both relative degrees of resistance and resilience of each genus were also analyzed to evaluate the role of each FFG in maintaining community stability. The results elucidated that the gathering-collectors and the scrapers could play a role as a pioneer group and a functional mediator in the community, respectively. The results also indicated that the practical use of relative resistance and resilience degrees could be applied to conduct comprehensive studies in stream ecosystems.

Mesozooplankton samples were collected to investigate the spatial distribution in the Chuuk lagoon of the Federated States of Micronesia through three surveys from 2002 to 2004. Average temperature was $28.70^{\circ}C$ in August 2002, $30.17^{\circ}C$ in October 2003 and $29.18^{\circ}C$ in July 2004 at a water depth of 2rn. Average salinity was 33.95 psu in August 2002, 33.56 psu in October 2003 and 33.77 psu in July 2004. Total rnosozooplankton consisted of 70 taxa during the study period, among which copepods were the most diverse group. Foraminiferans, radiolarians, copepods and appendicularians, which comprised about 70% of total zooplankton abundance, were important components in the zooplankton community. Within the copepod group, Acartia spp., Centropages spp. and Undinula spp. were dominant in August 2002, Acartia spp., Centropages spp., and Oithona spp. in October 2003, and Acartia spp., Undinula spp., and Oithona spp. in July 2004. Total zooplankton abundance was high around Weno Island, while low in stations located in the northern part of Weno Island. High abundances of appendicularians were found in the southern part of weno Island as well as around Weno Island. Appendicularians foraminiferans, radiolarians, Sagitta spp. and immature copepods accounted for most of the distribution pattern of the mesozzoplankton community throughout the study area. These results suggest that appendicularians may be potential food items for fish larvae around Weno Island in the Chuuk lagoon states.

국내의 납석 광상은 대부분 백악기의 화산암류들이 열수변질되어 형성된 광상으로서, 주로 전남 및 경남 지역에 밀집되어 분포한다. 납석은 지질 여건상 주로 경상분지 내에 국제적인 규모의 풍부한 부존자원이 있지만, 그 동안의 개발에 의해서 고품위 황석들은 상당히 채진된 상황이다. 현재 개발되고 있는 광체들은 몇 곳의 광산을 제외하고는 대부분 저품위 광상을 이루고 있기 때문에, 새로운 광체의 탐광이 이루어지지 않는다면 앞으로 고품위 광석에 관한 한 국내의 수요를 충당하기 어려운 상황에 이를 것으로 예견된다. 현재 국내에서 납석으로 개발되고 있는 광석의 상당수(대략 $40\%$ 정도)가 엄밀한 의미에서는 사실상 납석이 아닌 고령토나 견운모 광석인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 엽납석을 함유하는 정상적인 형태의 납석들은 그수반 점토광물상에 의거하여 (l) 엽납석질, (2) 딕카이트질. (3) 일라이트질 및 (4) 딕카이트-일라이트질 유형으로 구분될 수 있다. 고령토 광물로는 대부분 딕카이트가 수반되고 외국에서는 흔히 수반되는 것으로 알려져 있는 고령석은 거의 함유되지 않는 것이 특징이다. 석영은 납석에서 점토광물 못지않게 그 용도를 가름하는 주요 성분으로서 대부분의 광석 유형에서 수반되지만 특히 일라이트질 납석에서 흔히 그리고 보다 많이 수반되는 양상을 보인다. X-선회절 정랑분석법은 납석의 품위를 산정하는데 유력한 수단이 될 수 있다. 특히 납석 이외의 점토광물들의 조성, 특히 일라이트의 함유 정도는 납석의 용도별 품위와 품질을 가름하는 주요 사항이다. 화학분석에 의한 납석의 평가 방식은 특히 납석의 백색 도기류와 같은 각종 세라믹스 제조 용도에서의 품질 평가에 결정적인 단서를 제공하는 유력한 평가수단이다. 특히 착색유발 성분인 철분의 존재와 그 함량을 정하고 요업용도에서 중요한 $Al_3O_3$와 알칼리 성분 함량을 검증하는데 필수적인 평가 방법이다. 이외에 주사전자현미경 관찰을 통해서 납석의 주요 품질 기준이 되는 극미립상 엽납석의 결정형, 조직 및 미시적 산출상태를 보다 정밀하게 평가할 수 있는 방안을 제공한다. 현행 광업법상의 납석을 비롯한 관련 광종들의 광물분류 체계가 모호하게 설정되어 있고 관련 인허가 부서에서의 전문성 및 지도력 부족으로 관련 산업계에 심각한 비효율성과 오류가 야기되고 있는 실정이다. 이를 개선하기 위해서는 납석의 광석평가 방식이 그 품위와 품질 개념 하에서 응용광물학적으로 적용되어야 할 것이다.

Aim: This study investigated the association between leisure activities and cognitive impairment in Korean community-dwelling older adults. Methods: Among participants of the 2017 National Survey of Older Koreans, 10,055 (male=4,277, female=5,778) were included in this cross-sectional study. To better identify the association between late-life cognition and leisure activities, individual leisure activities were categorized into 3 types including productive, consumptive, and unclassified activities. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between participation in leisure activities and cognitive impairment when controlling for possible covariates evidenced by previous studies. Results: Male participants were more likely to be cognitively impaired than female ones with significant differences in all the covariates. After controlling for confounding variables, involvement in productive leisure activities was found to be associated with cognitive function in both male and female groups, along with age, educational level, depressive symptoms, subjective hearing problems, and occupational status. Conclusion: Involvement in productive leisure activities might be associated with decreased risk of cognitive impairment in later life. Appropriate strategies to encourage older adults to participate in productive leisure activities should be established to help them maintain their cognitive function.

Roundabouts are actively installed to reduce unnecessary congestion and reduce traffic accidents. However, it is difficult to apply more than 450 cars per, hour. In addition, there is a downside to the concentration of delays in certain directions depending on traffic conditions. To compensate for these shortcomings, signal metering was introduced. Signal metering is a technique that gives red signals to adjacent left traffic flow in the event of a delay in a particular direction. The purpose of this study is comparing the effect of signal metering in conventional and special types (turbo roundabout, flower roundabout) of roundabout. VISSIM API is used for analysis. The analysis result show that only conventional roundabout signal metering algorithm reduce delay time per vehicle. As the result of the turbo roundabout and flower roundabout signal metering algorithm increase delay time per vehicle, signal metering algorithm can be applied in conventional roundabout.

근래 게릴라성 호우, 국지성 호우, 짧은 시간에 걸친 집중 호우 등 예측하기 힘든 강우로 인하여 발생하는 피해를 방지하기 위한 방재 사업의 일환으로 각종 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 원주천 유역, 설마천 유역 등 집중호우로 인해 산사태로 인한 피해가 빈번히 발생, 서울시를 비롯한 전국 도시의 내 외수로 인한 수해피해도 상습적으로 발생하고 있음에도 불구하고 지역 유형별 특성을 반영한 호우피해 대책은 미비한 실정이다. 수재해 사례별 강우특성을 분석하고 유역별 피해저감 대책을 분석하였다. 도시지역의 경우 내 외수로 인한 침수피해가 주로 발생하였고 하천준설, 제방공사, 관로 용량확장, 펌프장 증설 또는 확장을 하는 방법으로 피해를 복구하였다. 농경지의 경우 침수피해나 유실피해가 큰 편이며 2차적으로 오염피해를 유발한다. 우리나라에서는 논으로부터의 영양물질 유출 부하량에 관한 연구는 이미 수행되었으나, 직접적으로 토사유출을 저감하는 적극적인 방법에 대한 연구는 더 수행되어야 할 필요성이 있다고 사료된다. 산지유역의 경우 토석류, 유목등에 의한 피해가 심각하였으며 지금까지의 복구대책으로는 하천의 준설, 사방댐의 설치, 사방댐을 설치한 후 조림(造林)을 설치하여 유사저감 효과를 증대시키는 방법을 포함하여 링네트공법 등 국외에서 개발된 신기술 등이 적용되었다. 대표적 피해유역 유형은 도시, 농경지, 해안, 산지유역으로 분류할 수 있었으며 각 유역별 피해유형을 정리하였다. 앞으로의 연구에서는 기존의 유역별 피해사례 및 강우규모를 바탕으로 최근 강우특성에 적합한 설계기준을 제시하고 특히 유역특성을 반영한 지역 유형별 홍수피해 저감기법에 대해 연구하고자 한다.

This study uses the life course perspective to analyze the health effects of care transition types on elderly persons who care for their spouses. To this end, the care transition types were divided into ① non-care→non-care, ② non-care→care, ③ care→care, and ④ care→non-care, and health was defined as physical health and the absence of depression. The study used the second through sixth datasets(2008-2016) from the Korea Longitudinal Study of Aging. This resulted in 10,199 observations from 3,987 persons, which were analyzed as a panel analysis model using the STATA16.0 program. The analysis found that physical health was lower in the non-care→care and care→non-care transition types than in the non-care→non-care type. Depression increased in the non-care→care and care→care types. These results suggest that practical and social measures are needed to improve physical health and depression in the elderly who are providing care for their spouses.

Godunov형 모형을 이용한 홍수모델링에서는 일반적으로 구조적 사각격자나 비구조적 삼각격자가 주로 적용된다. 2차원 수치모형을 이용한 홍수모델링에서 연구유역의 정보가 격자의 노드나 중심에 입력되므로 적용격자의 유형과 생성방법에 따라 모형의 입력자료 오차에 영항을 줄 수 있다. 따라서, 연구유역이 지형 변동성이 심한 지역이거나 흐름형상이나 흐름변동이 심한 구간이라면, 고해상도 격자를 통해 모형의 입력자료 오차를 최소화할 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2가지 유형에 대한 연구를 수행하였다, 첫 번째는 홍수해석을 위한 2차원 모형의 격자형상과 해상도에 따른 홍수위 및 홍수범람범위를 비교·분석하는 연구를 수행하였다. 연구유역은 2000년 10월 29일부터 11월 19일까지 홍수가 발생한 영국의 Severn 강 유역이다. 연구유역의 홍수 모델링을 위한 지형자료는 3m 해상도의 LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging)를 이용하여 구축하였으며, 격자유형 및 해상도에 따른 2차원 홍수위 및 홍수범람범위를 비교·분석하기 위해서 홍수 발생기간 동안 촬영된 4개(2000년 8월 11, 14, 15, 17일)의 ASAR(Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상자료를 활용하였다. 즉, ASAR 영상으로 촬용된 최대범람시기 및 홍수류의 배수기를 활용하여 최대범람범위뿐만 아니라 홍수가 증가하는 시기와 하류단 배수로 인해 홍수가 감소하는 시기를 모두 포함하는 홍수범람범위에 대한 격자유형별 2차원 홍수범람모형의 계산 결과에 대해 비교하였다. 두 번째는 아마존 강 중류유역의 2,500K㎡ 면적에 해당하는 대규모 유역에 대해 SRTM(Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) 지형자료를 이용하여 홍수기와 갈수기에 대해 2차원 모델링을 수행하고 그 결과를 위성자료와 비교하였다.

The research area, located in the northern coastal region of South Korea's West Sea, involves three bird habitats. Among these are two newly established habitats in Songdo International Business District, created by filling and developing tidal flats that were previously utilized as stopover sites for migratory birds. One of these areas showed decrease (Residual tidal flats, site.1) while the other showed increase (Artificial lake, site.2) in bird influx. The third habitat (Namdong reservoir, site.3) is a pre-existing stable habitat which has been maintained as a stable habitat. This study conducts an assessment of habitats based on avian population clusters and environmental surveys and proposes habitat management measures. A survey of bird populations and habitat environments was conducted for a total of 39 occasions from January to December 2022. The observed bird species totaled 14 families and 48 species with 20,760 individuals. Compared to the existing habitats, the newly established habitats showed relatively lower influx of bird species and individuals. During the habitat assessment, the newly established habitats were rated as I to II grade, while the existing habitat was rated as relatively high III grade on the grading assessment of the tidal flat. An analysis of habitat types revealed that the existing habitat, in which diverse strategies for habitat type diversity and mitigating anthropogenic interference were demonstrated, attracted a diverse range of bird species. Through this research, it was deduced that the diversity of habitat types plays a significant role in attracting various bird species. Upon evaluation of habitat types concerning the habitat characteristics of the bird species selected for habitat management, as habitat management measures, it is deemed that the creation of shielded green areas (referred to as 'buffer green') to minimize interference from the surroundings, the establishment of reed fields (site.1, 2) positively correlated with reservoirs, and the improvement of sandbanks (site.1) positively associated with tidal flats, the two relations which we drew from correlation analysis between occurrence species and habitat types, would contribute to the future restoration and maintenance of stable habitats. The results of this study can be applied not only to the study area but also to other development zones, such as coastal reclamation sites, which share similar geographical and environmental characteristics, including arrival sites for migratory birds.
