본 연구의 목적은 허혈성 뇌졸중 환자에게 적용된 조기 인지훈련과 맞춤형 전화코칭 프로그램의 효과를 확인하기 위함이다. 연구 대상 총 28명은 실험군(n=15)과 대조군(n=13)에 배정되었다. 실험군에게만 4주간의 인지 훈련과 11회기 맞춤형 전화코칭이 제공되었다. 프로그램의 효과는 우울, 간이정신상태검사, 신경심리검사, 일상생활수행능력에 관한 도구를 이용하여 총 4회(사전, 4주째, 8주째, 12개월째) 측청하였다. 반복측정 분산분석법을 통한 자료 분석 결과 실험군은 대조군에 비해 간이 정신상태검사, 언어기억력 및 집행기능의 유의미한 향상이 나타났다. 특히 일상생활수행과 관련성이 깊은 집행기능의 향상은 괄목할 만한 결과였다. 이는 뇌졸중 후 인지기능의 회복과 독립적인 일상생활을 위해 조기 개입이 매우 중요하며 중·장기적 효과를 위해 주기적인 전화코칭이 함께 이루어져야 함을 시사한다.

폐LiFePO₄ 배터리의 양극재에는 리튬이 약 4% 함유되어 있으며, 함유된 원소의 재활용은 환경적인 문제뿐만 아니라 자원순환의 관점에서 중요하다. 폐LiFePO₄ 양극재 분말에 함유된 리튬을 선택적으로 침출하기 위하여 3종류의 과황산계 산화제 [과황산나트륨(Na₂S₂O₈), 과황산칼륨(K₂S₂O₈), 그리고 과황산암모늄((NH₄)₂S₂O₈)]를 사용하여 각 성분의 침출율 및 분말특성을 비교 분석하였다. 침출 시 광액농도를 변수로 두고 각 조건별로 3시간 동안 침출을 진행하였으며, 얻어진 침출용액은 ICP 성분분석을 시행하여 침출율을 계산하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 모든 과황산계 산화제 종류에서 92% 이상의 리튬 침출율을 보였다. 특히 과황산암모늄의 산화제를 사용하여 침출하였을 경우, 50 g/L의 광액농도 및 1.1 몰 비의 산화제 농도에서 약 93.3%의 가장 높은 리튬의 침출율을 보였다.

To test the effectiveness of using an energy storage system for frequency regulation, the Energy New Business Laboratory at KEPCO Research Institute installed a 4 MW energy storage system (ESS) demonstration facility at the Jocheon Substation on Jeju Island. And after the successful completion of demonstration operations, a total of 52 MW ESS for frequency regulation was installed in Seo-Anseong (28 MW, governor-free control) and in Shin-Yongin (24 MW, automatic generation control). The control system used in these two sites was based on the control system developed for the 4 MW ESS demonstration facility. KEPCO recently finished the construction of 184 MW ESS for frequency regulation in 8 locations, (e.g. Shin-Gimjae substation, Shin-Gaeryong substation, etc.) and they are currently being tested for automatic operation. KEPCO plans to construct additional ESS facilities (up to a total of about 500 MW for frequency regulation by 2017), thus, various operational tests would first have to be conducted. The high-speed characteristic of ESS can negatively impact the power system in case the 500 MW ESS is not properly operated. At this stage we need to verify how effectively the 500 MW ESS can regulate frequency. In this paper, the effect of using ESS for frequency regulation on the power system of Korea was studied. Simulations were conducted to determine the effect of using a 524 MW ESS for frequency regulation. Models of the power grid and the ESS were developed to verify the performance of the operation system and its control system. When a high capacity power plant is tripped, a 24 MW ESS supplies power automatically and 4 units of 125MW ESS supply power manually. This study only focuses on transient state analysis. It was verified that 500 MW ESS can regulate system frequency faster and more effectively than conventional power plants. Also, it was verified that time-delayed high speed operations of multiple ESS facilities do not negatively impact power system operations. It is recommended that further testing be conducted for a fleet of multiple ESSs with different capacities distributed over multiple substations (e.g. 16, 24, 28, and 48 MW ESS distributed across 20 substations) because each ESS measures frequency individually. The operation of one ESS facility will differ from the other ESSs within the fleet, and may negatively impact the performance of the others. The following are also recommended: (a) studies wherein all ESSs should be operated in automatic mode; (b) studies on the improvement of individual ESS control; and (c) studies on the reapportionment of all ESS energies within the fleet.

Purpose: With the recent boom in 'eating healthy', many adults are interested in dieting to prevent future diseases. However only well trained experts can distinguish between what are edible vegetables and herbs from their poisonous look-alikes. In cases where a patient unknowingly ingests a poisonous herb, is caught off guard by the poisonous side effects that occur because of their lack of knowledge of what they have ingested. This paper will focus on the need to educate the public about the risks involved with ingesting wild vegetables and herbs and study the emergency diagnosis and treatment of poisoned patients that enter the emergency room. Method: This study was done in the spring of 2004 (from March to May) in the Kangwon Young-Seo districts of Korea. 15 subjects used in this study, entered the emergency room showing signs of toxic symptoms. Data was collected by examining subject's records. Additional data was collected by collaborating with physicians in the hospital that diagnosed and treated the subjects. Identifying the poisonous vegetable or herb is the first step to proper diagnosis and treatment. Subjects admitted to the emergency room, underwent a battery of tests: laboratory examination, ECG, radiological exam and etc. Results: The demographics of the study encompassed subjects with the average age of $50{\pm}19$ years old. There were 10 men and 5 women. Common symptoms of this study included; gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain and so on. In the case of Caltha palustris ingestion, additional symptoms were present; bradycardia and hypotension which lasted for a long time. While cases that ingested Scopolia parviflora had little effect on vital signs but manic episodes lasted for about three days. Veratrum patulum ingestion showed signs of bradycardia and hypotension but contrary to Caltha palustris recovery was shorten by treating with dopamine. However, dizziness, headache and paresthesia of the extremities continued for a long time. Finally Sium ninsi ingestion showed visual disturbance, paresthesia of the extremities, dizziness as their initial symptoms. Conclusion: The risks involved with ingesting wild plants without the proper knowledge can lead to serious side effects and steps need to be taken to educate the public. In addition, all emergency physicians need to have a working knowledge of the symptoms and signs associated with ingesting toxic wild plants and need to treat accordingly.
