Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a Korean nursing work environment scale for critical care nurses (KNWES-CCN) and verify its validity and reliability. Methods: A total of 46 preliminary items were selected using content validity analysis of experts on 64 candidate items derived through literature reviews and in-depth interviews with critical care nurses. 535 critical care nurses from 21 hospitals responded to the preliminary questionnaire from February to March 2021. The collected data were analysed using construct, convergent and discriminant validities, and internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Results: The 23 items in 4 factors accounted for 55.6% of the total variance were identified through item analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). EFA was performed with maximum likelihood method including direct oblimin method. In the confirmatory factor analysis, KNWES-CCN consisted of 21 items in 4 factors by deleting the items that were not meet the condition that the factor loading over .50 or the squared multiple correlation over .30. This model was considered to be suitable because it satisfied the fit index and acceptable criteria of the model [𝒳²=440.47 (p<.001), CMIN/DF=2.41, GFI=.86, SRMR=.06, RMSEA=.07, TLI=.90, CFI=.91]. The item total correlation values ranged form .32 to .73 and its internal consistency was Cronbach's α=.92. The reliability of the test-retest correlation coefficient was .72 and the intra-class correlation coefficient was .83. Conclusion: The KNWES-CCN showed good validity and reliability. Therefore, it is expected that the use of this scale would measure and improve nursing work environment for critical care nurses in Korea.

In order to study the characteristics of cloud, a real-scale experiment for cloud generation was carried out using an extinct vertical mine (430 m height) located in the northeastern Honshu, Japan. The dry particles generated from the three-step concentrations of NaCl solutions were used for cloud generation. The number size distributions of initial dry particles and cloud droplets were monitored by Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) and Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe (FSSP) at bottom and upper sites of pit, respectively. The polymeric water absorbent film (PWAF) method was employed to measure liquid water content ($W_L$) as a function of droplet size. Moreover the chemical properties of individual droplet replicas were determined by micro-PIXE. The CCN number concentration shows the lognormal form in dependence of the particle size, while the number size distributions of droplets are bimodal showing the peaks around $9{\mu}m$ and $20{\mu}m$ for every case. In comparison to background mineral particles, right shifting of size distribution line for NaCl particles was occurred. When NaCl solutions with three-step different concentrations were neulized, $W_L$ shows the strong droplet size dependence. It varied from $10.0mg\;m^{-3}$ up to $13.6mg\;m^{-3}$ with average $11.6mg\;m^{-3}$. A good relationship between $W_L$ and cloud droplet number concentration was obtained. Both chemical inhomogeneities (mixed components with mineral and C1) and homogeneities (only mineral components or C1) in individual droplet replicas were obviously observed from micro-PIXE elemental images.

Possible links among cosmic ray, cloud, and climate have scientific uncertainties. The reputed topics have been highly controversial during several decades. A link between the atmospheric ionization by galactic cosmic rays (GCR), which is modulated by solar activities, and global cloud cover was firstly proposed in 1997. Some researchers suggested that the GCR can stimulate the formation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the atmosphere, and then the higher CCN concentrations may lead to an increase of cloud cover, resulting in a cooling of the Earth's climate, and vise versa. The CLOUD (Cosmic leaving outdoor droplets) experiment was designed to study the effect of GCR on the formation of atmospheric aerosols and clouds under precisely controlled laboratory conditions. A state-of-the-art chamber experiment has greatly advanced our scientific understanding of the aerosol formation in early stage and its nucleation processes if the GCR effect is considered or not. Many studies on the climate-GCR (or space weather) connection including the CLOUD experiment have been carried out during the several decades. Although it may not be easy to clarify the physical connection, the recent scientific approaches such as the laboratory experiments or modeling studies give some implications that the research definitively contributed to reduce the scientific uncertainties of natural and anthropogenic aerosol radiative forcing as well as to better understand the formation processes of fine particulate matters as an important parameter of air quality forecast.

Monomeric rhodium and iridium diimine complexes $Cp^*M(HNRNH)(Cp^*$ = 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl : (M=lr; R=o-$C_6H_4 (1a), 4,5-(CH_3)_2-C_6H_2-1,2 (1b), 4,5-(Cl)_2-C_6H_2-1,2$ (1c), NCC=CCN-1,2 (1d): M=Rh; R=NCC=CCN-1,2 (1e)) have been synthesized from $[CP^*MCl_2]_2$ and 2 equiv. of diamine in the presence of $NEt_3$. The Crystal structure of 1a was determined by X-ray diffraction method : 1a was crystallized in the monoclinic system, space group $P2_{1/c}$, with lattice constants a=9.543 (1) ${\AA}$, b=16.286 (1) ${\AA}$, c=10.068 (1) ${\AA}$ and ${\beta}$=99.25 (1), with Z= 4. Least-squares refinement of the structure led to R factor of 0.049. The coordination sphere of rhodium and iridium can be described as a 2-legged piano-stool. All complexes are highly colored. Electrochemical studies show that 1d and 1e display quasi-reversible reduction and 1a-1c display irreversible reductions, suggesting that the acceptor orbital might be localized on the diimine ring.

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF, CCN2) is one of the multi-functional secreted proteins which belong to CCN family of cysteine-rich growth factors. CTGF is known to have pivotal roles in embryonic endochondral ossification but its role in relevance to periodontitis is never been determined. To identify new molecular mediators associated with periodontitis-induced bone resorption, we have analyzed publicly available GEO database and found the markedly augmented CTGF mRNA expression in periodontitis gingival tissues. The existence of CTGF significantly enhanced mature osteoclasts survival which accompanied by reduction in TUNEL-positive nuclei and PARP cleavage. These results may provide another line of evidence the CTGF mediated prolonged osteoclast survival and subsequent increased bone resorption in the periodontitis patients.

The sugar beet cyst nematode (SBCN), Heterodera schachtii first detected in Taebaek, Gangwon-do in 2011, is one of the major plant parasitic nematodes that cause economic damage to the Chinese cabbage in highland regions. In addition, the distribution of clover cyst nematode (CCN), H. trifolii was confirmed in the highland Chinese cabbage cultivated regions in 2017. In order to investigate the spread of cyst nematodes, this study has been conducted since 2013 in the highland Chinese cabbage cultivation area. In addition, in 2017, the Real-Time PCR technique with the species-specific primer was used to investigate those two cyst nematodes and the soybean cyst nematode (SCN), H. glycines which is known for its distribution in Korea, focusing on the main production regions of highland Chinese cabbage cultivation. The number of infected fields in the Chinese cabbage plantation in highland increased every year to confirm distribution in Taebaek, Samcheok, Jeongseon and Gangneung in 2017, and the cumulative number of infection fields reached 245 by 2017. Of the 41 possible cyst nematode samples for PCR analysis, 61% were CCN, only 9.8% of the SBCN and 29.3% of the SCN were identified. Therefore, some of the previously known SBCN or CCN discoveries are likely to have been infected with SCN. It is believed that the CCN needs to be controlled in the future as CCN have been found to be dominant species in the highland Chinese cabbage plantation regions.

In this paper, the classification performances of inductive learning methods are investigated using the credit rating data. The adopted classifiers are Multiple Discriminant Analysis (MDA), C4.5 of Quilan, Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Cascade Correlation Network (CCN). The data used in this analysis is obtained using the publicly announced rating reports from the three korean rating agencies. The performances of 4 classifiers are analyzed in term of prediction accuracy. The results show that no classifier is dominated by the other classifiers.

모바일 기기의 폭발적인 증가로 인하여 다양한 종류의 많은 콘텐츠들이 시간과 장소에 관계없이 만들어지고 공유된다. 하지만, 현재 인터넷 구조는 모바일 기기의 이동성 지원을 위해 추가적인 동작이 필요하다. 따라서 비효율적인 현재의 인터넷 구조를 개선하기 위하여 새로운 네트워크 구조가 필요성이 대두되었으며 정보중심의 네트워크와 같은 새로운 구조가 등장하게 되었다. 정보 중심 네트워크 구조에서 콘텐츠 요청자의 이동성 지원은 단순히 콘텐츠를 재전송하면 되기 때문에 효율적으로 동작한다. 하지만, 콘텐츠 소유자의 이동성 지원은 소유자의 위치를 인지하기 전까지 효율적으로 대응하지 못한다는 문제점이 존재한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 정보중심의 네트워크 구조에서의 콘텐츠 소유자의 효율적인 이동성 지원을 위한 연구들을 분석한다.

최근 모바일 멀티미디어 콘텐츠 서비스 이용의 폭발적인 증가로 인하여 급증하는 트래픽을 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 콘텐츠 중심 네트워크에 대한 연구가 국내외적으로 활발하게 진행 중이다. 콘텐츠 중심 네트워크는 호스트 중심에서 벗어나 콘텐츠 자체를 중심으로 하는 네트워크 방식이다. CCN은 on-path 캐싱을 지원하여 콘텐츠를 효율적으로 배포할 수 있다. 하지만, on-path 캐싱의 경우 인기도가 높은 콘텐츠의 캐싱 확률이 높아 저장소를 효율적으로 사용하지 못하는 문제점이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 캐싱의 효율 및 저장소의 효율적인 사용이 가능한 다양한 캐싱 기법에 관한 연구들 분석한다.
