It is becoming increasingly difficult for colleges to recruit new students to their full capacity. The increase of the withdrawal rate drives these colleges into crisis yet little has been done about it, because students with great possibility to withdraw enter colleges and old measures to stop them from dropping out hardly work. This study attempts to grope new measures to prevent dropout from college. To do this, I investigated withdrawal rate by college admission types and suggested measures to reduce withdrawal rate by incorporating the results of the investigation into admission procedures. I also compared the different types of admission in students satisfaction with college life and withdrawal rate, and suggested the measures to alleviated withdrawal rate. I expect the suggestions made in this study would be used effectively to reduce the withdrawal in colleges.

Sidewalks are facilities used for the safe and comfortable passage of pedestrians and are paved with blocks of various materials. Currently, Korea does not have a quantitative survey method for the pavement condition of sidewalks, so it is necessary to develop an efficient survey method. Drones are being used as an efficient survey tool in various fields, but there are limited studies in which sidewalks have been investigated. This study investigates the possibility of detection by limiting the missing sidewalk blocks using a drone. This study is an initial study on the development of a method for detecting damage in sidewalk blocks. For this, sidewalk blocks were artificially removed to simulate a dropout situation, and images were acquired with 0.7-cm resolution using a drone. As a characteristic of the point cloud data acquired through image pre-processing, there was high variance of the elevation of the points in the missing area of the sidewalk block. Using these characteristics, an experiment was conducted to detect the missing parts of the sidewalk block by applying four thresholds to the variance of the elevation of points included in the grid corresponding to the sidewalk area. As a result, the detection accuracy was shown with a positive detection ratio of 70-80%, omission errors of 20-30%, and commission errors lower than 2%. It is judged that the possibility of detecting missing sidewalk blocks is high. This study focused on detecting a simulated missing sidewalk block in a limited environment. Therefore, it is expected that an efficient and quantitative method of detecting damaged sidewalk blocks can be developed in the future through additional research with considerations of the actual environment.

Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of 3-dimensional co-culture of human endometrial cells decidualized with progesterone and TGF-${\beta}1$ on the development of 2-cell mouse embryos. Methods: Stromal and epithelial cells isolated from human endometrial tissue were immunostained for cytokeratin and vimentin. Expression of TGF-${\beta}1$, its receptor-1, -2, integrin-${\beta}3$ and prolactin in mono or co-culture according to three different hormone conditions was investigated by RT-PCR. Differential staining was used to investigate the number of ICM and trophectoderm of hatched mouse blastocysts in different three conditions. Results: The immunohistochemical study was positive for cytokeratin or vimentin and confirmed that epithelial and stromal cells were isolated from endometrial tissue successfully. In co-culture, TGF-${\beta}1$, its receptor-1, integrin-${\beta}3$ and prolactin except TGF-${\beta}1$-r2 were expressed in progesterone dominant condition. The hatching and attaching rate were higher in the co-culture with decidualized cells (p<0.05). However, we observed that lots of the incomplete hatched blactocysts attached on non-decidualized cells. The ICM number of hatched mouse blastocysts was higher in co-culture with decidualized and non decidualized cells than media only culture (p<0.05). The trophectoderm number of hatched blastocyst was higher in the co-culture with decidualized cells than non-decidualized cells or media only culture (p<0.05). Conclusion: The administration of progesterone, estrogen and TGF-$\beta$ could induce decidualization of stromal and epithelial cells isolated from human endometrial tissue using 3-dimensional co-culture, and the decidualization of human endometrial cells could increase the hatching and attaching rate of 2-cell mouse embryos.

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between social support, academic self-efficacy, and learning agility on intention of academic dropout among nursing students. Data collection was conducted online surveys from November 9 to 27, 2020. The 363 students were conveniently sampled from the school of nursing in K-do in Korea. The contents of the self-reported questionnaire included social support, academic self-efficacy, learning agility, intention of academic dropout. As a result, The score of each variables were like this: social support 4.32, academic self-efficacy 3.66, learning agility 3.40, intention of academic dropout 2.08. The factors that affecting intention of academic dropout among nursing students are academic self-efficacy, learning agility, satisfaction on major, perceived mental health status, grade in score and grade, which explained 30.4% of the variances. Therefore in order to lower the intention of dropping out of nursing students, it is considered that the development of programs considering individual characteristics and systematic support are necessary.

Recently, micro-grids based on a CVCF inverter have been replacing diesel generators to reduce CO2 emissions in island areas with the increase of renewable energy sources. Stable operation methods are also being researched. These micro-grids may cause energy sinking if the total output of renewable energy sources is larger than the total customer loads. In the case of energy sinking, the voltage of a CVCF battery could rapidly increase according to the condition of SOC, and blackout could occur in the micro-grid due to the operation of a protection device in a CVCF inverter. Therefore, this paper analyzes the operation characteristics of a CVCF-inverter-based micro-grid when energy sinking occurs and proposes a transient operation strategy to prevent shut-down of the CVCF inverter. A test device of a 30-kW CVCF-inverter-based micro-grid was implemented, and the transient operation characteristics for the energy sinking phenomenon are presented. The simulation results confirm that blackout can be properly prevented according to the conditions of SOC and voltage in a CVCF battery.

구강점막상피는 여러 가지의 외적 자극을 받게 되는데,특히 치과보철용재료인 금속,인공수지 등으로 조제된 총의치,국부의치를 사용하는 사람들의 구강상피의 변화를 탈락세포의 각화상태를 관찰함으로서, 국소적인,기계적화학적인 자극이 점막상피에 어떤 영향을 미치며, 그것이 병적 진행 여부를 추구하였다. 이과 같이, 끼웠다 뺏다 하는 의치가 구강상피조직에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 많은 학자들이 연구해 왔다. 그리고 그들 대부분의 학자들이 비고정의치의 기능적인 작용이 악골에도 크게 자극하지만,그 보다도 점막상피에 더 많은 영향을 미치게 한다고 했다. 본인은 이러한 것을 Pap.씨법에 의하여 구강탈락세포를 관찰함으로서, 의치에 의하여 구강점막상피가 정상적인 각화과정에 장해를 받고 있는 것을 인정하게 했다. 즉 의치에 의하여 피복되어 있는 상피(접착점막)에는 정상적인 각화현상을 볼 수 없고,다만 parakeratose 로 이행되는 것을 관찰하게 되었다. 이러한 상피의parakeratose 현상은 의치에 의한 물리적인 작용(교합압)도 그 이유의 하나이겠지만,의치를 조제하는 재료,즉 금속인공수지의 화학적인 자극에 의히여 상피각화과정에 장해를 주어,의치사용자의 구강상피가 parakeratose 과정을 취하는 것을 알게 하였다. 이러한 것은 또한 의치의 교합압을 가장 많이 받는 경구개와 하악치조돌기점막상피의 각화도가 타부위에 비하여 심한 것으로 보아서도 증명된다.

Recently, in order to reduce the $CO_2$ emission in the island area, countermeasures to operate power system in a stable manner are being researched due to decrease of the operation rate in diesel generators and the increase of renewable energy sources. The phenomenon of energy sinking can be occurred if the output of renewable energy sources is larger than customer loads. Voltage of CVCF(constant voltage & constant frequency) battery could be increased rapidly according to the condition of SOC(state of charge) and blackout could be occurred due to shut-down of CVCF inverter, at carbon free island micro-grid based on the CVCF inverter. In order to overcome these problems, this paper proposes a transient operation algorithm in CVCF based micro-grid which in advance prevents shut-down of CVCF inverter during the energy sinking. And also this paper proposes the modeling of micro-grid including CVCF inverter, PV system, customer load using PSCAD/EMTDC S/W. From the results of micro-grid modeling based on the proposed algorithm, it is confirmed that CVCF based micro-grid can properly prevent shut-down of CVCF inverter according to SOC and battery voltage of CVCF inverter when energy sinking is occurred.

The internal chromium plating of a long-axis tube is widely used in military and industrial application, with the thick hard plating formed using a mixed solution of Chromium acid and catalytic $H_2SO_4$. A large-caliber gun can endure a high explosive force as a result of the increased stiffness and wear resistance provided by this internal hard chromium surface. The internal chromium layer of a tube is prone to exfoliation caused by the high kinetic energy of the projectile and high pressure of the explosion. Therefore, we reviewed the plating process. Chromium plating comprises many steps, including the removal of Grease, water cleaning, electrolytic abrasion, etching, plating, water cleaning, and hydrogen brittleness removal. The exfoliated chromium plating layer is affected by the adhesion property of the plating. In particular, the Fe concentration of the electrolyte affects the adhesion property. The optimum Fe concentration for effectively suppressing the exfoliation of the plating layer was established by using a scanning electron microscope to determine the surface roughness, and the effectiveness was proved in an adhesion test, etc.

Endometriosis-related symptoms are believed to be alleviated during pregnancy. However, pregnancy complications, such as pseudoaneurysm of the uterine artery, rupture of ovarian or uterine vessels, and intraabdominal bleeding from decidualized deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesion have been rarely reported. Owing to the potential risk of rupture and resultant life-threatening complications, proper diagnosis and close monitoring of decidualized endometriotic lesion are very important despite its low relative risk. Till date, massive vaginal bleeding from decidualized rectovaginal DIE during pregnancy has not been in English literatures. Here, we present the first case of spontaneous massive vaginal bleeding due to decidualized rectovaginal DIE that occurred in the late third trimester of pregnancy.
