Lindera sericea, which belongs to genus Lindera in the Lauraceae family, is labeled under Least Concerned (LC) among Korean rare plants, floristics specific species IV grade and also flagpole species of the Mudeung National Park. It is distributed in Mt. Mudeung, Mt. Cheonbong and Mt. Chogye within gradients from $12^{\circ}$ to $51^{\circ}$. The slope area is from northeast to northwest sides and the altitude range of distribution site is between 220 m and 533 m. The vascular plants in the quadrate where Lindera sericea were studied were identified as a total of 72 taxa; 37 families, 54 genera, 66 species, 5 variants and 1 forma. Among the floristics specific species, IV grade species was Lindera sericea and III grade species were Stewartia pseudocamellia and Acer palmatum. Korean endemic species were Stewartia pseudocamellia and Carex okamotoi. As for the vegetation group, Quercus mongolica and Q. serratak - Lindera sericea, Styrax japonicus populations were found in Mt. Mudeung area where Lindera sericea appeared, Stewartia pseudocamellia-Lindera sericea and Sasa borealis populations were found in Mt. Cheonbong areas, Carpinus laxiflora - Lindera sericea and Sasa borealis populations were found in Mt. Chogye area, and Stewartia pseudocamellia-Lindera sericea and Sasa borealis populations were found in Songgwangsa area. A total number of 662 Lindera sericea individuals were examined. The number of trees with 1 trunk including younger individuals was 353 (53.32%), and the number of trees with 2 to 5 stems was 270 (40.79%). The number of trees with the greatest number of sprouts was 27. Of 662 trees in total, the total number of sprouts was 1,198. Among these, 699 trees (58.34%) were between 50 cm and 150 cm in height. The tallest tree was 585 cm. The most common root-collar diameter of sprouts (992, 82.81%) was under 1 cm, followed by the sprouts with collar diameter from 1.0 to 1.5 cm(156, 13.2%). Among them, the largest root-collar diameter was 3.2 cm. This Lindera sericea specimen had the tallest trunk (565 cm) which was torn lengthwise on one side. Its root and breast parts were decayed by 50% and 25 respectively. Some branches of the three trunks that were more than 4 m in length were dead in the apical portion. Therefore, it is proposed that the Korean Lindera sericea maintains an apical dominance tree type while showing morphological adaptation as a typical shrub because it autonomously decays some branches and trunks over a certain height while increasing the number of its sprouts.

The worldwide effects of COVID-19 have led to a surge in online shopping and contactless services. The consumption pattern has caused the issues such as the environmental pollution together with the increase of plastic waste. Reducing the reliance on the petroleum based plastic use for the package and replacing it with environmentally friendly material are the simple ways in order to solve those problems. Paper is an eco-friendly product with high recyclability as the food packaging materials but has still poor barrier properties. A barrier coating on surface of the paper can be achieved with the proper packaging materials featuring water, gas and grease barrier. Polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) coatings which are generally laminated or coated to paper are widely used in food packaging applications to protect products from moisture and provide water or grease resistance. However, recycling of packaging containing PE or PP matrix is limited and costly because those films are difficult to degrade in the environment. This study investigated the recyclability of modified acrylic emulsion coating papers compared to PE and PP polymer matrixes as well as their mechanical and gas barrier properties. The results showed that PE or modified acrylic emulsion coated papers had better mechanical properties compared to the uncoated paper as a control. PE or PP coating papers showed strong oil resistance property, achieving a kit rating of 12. Those papers also had a significantly higher percentage of screen reject during the recycling process than modified acrylic coated paper which had a screen rejection rate of 6.25%. In addition an uncoated paper had similar value of a screen rejection rate. It may suggest that modified acrylic emulsion coating paper can be more easily recycled than PE or PP coating papers. The overall results of the study found that modified acrylic emulsion coating paper would be a viable alternative to suggest a possible solution to an environmental problem as well as enhancing the weak mechanical and poor gas barrier properties of the paper against moisture.

유두상 갑상선암의 대부분은 서서히 진행하는 양호한 임상경과를 보이나, 일부는 저등급 혹은 미분화 갑상선암으로 전환되는 생물학적 특성을 보인다. 저자는 유두상 갑상선암 환자 358예를 적용된 치료방법과 치료결과를 분석하여 논란이 되고 있는 치료방법들 중에서 적절한 치료방법을 찾고자 본 연구를 시도하였다.% 568예중 동측엽절제술 및 협부 절제술 혹은 갑상선 아전 절제술 220예, 갑상선 전 절제술 혹은 근전절제술 143예, 종양적출술 5예였고, 이중 115예는 여러가지 형태의 경부 곽청술이 추가되었고, 150예는 수술후 방사성 동위원소 치료까지 추가되었다. 또 전 환자에서 TSH 억제를 위한 갑상선 호르몬 투여를 하였다. 추적 기간은 5년에서 12년까지 평균 8.5년이었다. Cady와 Rossia AMES Scoring system에 따라 저위험군과 고위험군으로 나누어 재발율과 사망율을 산출한 결과 저위험군 255예중 재발율 11.0%, 사망율 0.4%, 고위험군 65예중 재발율 36.9%, 사망율 20.0%을 보여 고위험군에서 현격히 불량한 예후를 나타내었다. 따라서 저자들은 유두상 갑상선암의 치료방법 선택은 일률적인 치료방법 보다는 환자 개인의 임상적 특성, 병기 등을 고려하여 저위험군에서는 소극적 수술을, 고위험군에서는 적극적인 수술과 수술후 보조치료를 시행하는 것이 바람직하다고 사료되었다.

The number of people with disabilities is increasing recently in Korea, in particular the proportion of children with disabilities is approximately above 5%. While there are many studies focusing on satisfaction of payment policy due to increased concern about children with disabilities, the studies on comparison and the effect factor of user satisfaction depending on the cash and voucher are not sufficient. Based on the need to recognize and research this issue, the ultimate goal of this study is to lead to implications for the payment policy by investigating user satisfaction depending on the type of payment of policy on children with disabilities. The result that analyzes the effect of general characteristics on user satisfaction shows that in case of in-cash, children and the degree of disability affect user satisfaction. In the case of voucher, the gender of parents, the degree of disability and the average income affect it. The implication of this study suggests practical implication and policy implication. Implications of the study is that provide a customized service considering general characteristics. Second, It needs to extend the range of amount of payment of in-cash. Third, extend and pay the amount of in-cash, and the service of voucher. Fourth, provide low-income group(including public aid recipients and near poverty group) with voucher to ease financial burden.

투구꽃속(Aconitum L.)은 미나리아재비과(Ranunculaceae)의 가장 큰 속(Genus) 중 하나로 300-400 여종(Species)이 북반구 온대지역에 분포한다(Tamura, 1993). 둥근 투구모양의 꽃받침이 특징적이며, aconitine과 같은 알칼로이드 성분을 함유하고 있어 전통적으로 약용소재로서 활용되었다(Khorana, 1968). 세뿔투구꽃(Aconitum austrokoreense Koidz.)은 한국 경상도, 전라남도에만 국지적으로 자라는 한국 특산식물이자, IUCN에서 CR(Critical Endangered) 등급으로 지정된 희귀식물이다. 이 종은 다년생이지만, 서식지에서 개체수가 적거나 유묘의 발견이 어려운 등 자생지 축소 및 절멸의 우려가 높다. 세뿔투구꽃을 보호하고 종을 보존하기 위해서는 종자 발아 · 휴면에 대한 지속적 연구와 종자번식법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 세뿔투구꽃의 종자의 휴면유형을 분석하고 호르몬에 의해 휴면타파를 유도하였으며, 특히 발아 2단계에서 일어나는 생리적 변화를 단백질체학적 관점에서 분석하였다. 세뿔투구꽃 종자는 미발달된 배를 가지고 있으며, 충분한 수분과 온도의 조건에서도 발아가 관찰되지 않아 형태 · 생리적 휴면으로 판단되었다. 종자는 BAP 처리에서 휴면이 타파되는 것을 확인하였으며, 특히 BAP 농도에 따른 발아율은 통계적으로 유의한 값을 가졌다 (F=23.208, P<0.01). 건조된 종자에 비해 BAP 처리된 종자는 발아 2단계에서 몇가지 단백질의 증가가 관찰되었다. 대부분의 종자는 30S ribosomal protein subunit으로, 휴면상태에서 발아상태로 변환이 일루어지는 생리적 변화의 증거로 확인된다. 특히 발아2단계를 지나는 세뿔투구꽃 종자에서는 cytochrome subunit과 photosystem II protein의 급격한 증가가 관찰되었는데, 이는 배아의 발달 결과인 자엽이 발아 즉시 광합성이 가능하도록 준비하는 과정에서 발현 된 것으로 추정한다. 본 연구는 발아2단계에서 휴면타파에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 요인을 발견하지 못하였으나, 휴면타파에 중요한 단계인 발아 2단계 종자의 생리학적 변화를 이해하기 위한 기초자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

The objective of this study is to examine fatigue behavior of as-welded butt-welded joints with incomplete penetration from fatigue tests. The test results are the following. In static tests, tensile strength and yield strength of butt-welded joints are constant regardless of incomplete penetration. And in fatigue tests, fatigue strength of fully penetrated butt-welded joints satisfies fatigue limits, prescribed in Korean Specifications and JSSC, respectively. The results show that as the magnitude of incomplete penetration increases, fatigue strength decreases. In fractured surfaces, full and incomplete penetration specimen show different shapes, it is because that stress concentration factor vary with structural geometry in bead toe and root tip, and certify in FEM analysis. This study suggests that defects such as incomplete penetration from welding must be avoided in order to attain the sufficient life of steel structures.

We analysed the characteristics of anastomotic sites after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using coronary angiographies (CAGs) performed at one and five years postoperatively in the same patient population. Material and Method: Among the 219 patients who underwent isolated CABGs between January 1995 and December 1997, follow-up coronary angiograms were performed in 149 ($75.3\%$) patients at one year and in 115 ($58.1\%$) patients at five years postoperatively. FitzGibbon grading system was used to evaluate the anastomotic sites. Result: The patency rates of arterial grafts at one- and five-year were $96.5\%$ (192/199) and $93.1\%$ (134/144), which were higher than those of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) ($82.9\%$ (224/270) and $77.5\%$ (141/182), respectively) (p=0.01). Although there were significant decreases in the patency rates between one- and five-year CAGs of both arterial and venous grafts, the proportion of FitzGibbon grade B among the SVGs was increased from $5.2\%$ (one-year) to $8.2\%$ (five-year), suggesting the progression of vein graft disease (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The patency rate of the arterial graft was higher than that of SVG in both one- and five-year CAGs. The attrition rate of saphenous vein graft was higher than arterial grafts.
