  • Indicators of environmental conditions qualitatively and quantitatively describe the state of the environment and natural resources, and the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) has initiated and suggested AEIs (Agri-Environmental Indicators) to assess trends over time of the effects of agriculture on the environment and the effectiveness and efficiency of agricultural and environmental policy measures since 1990's. This study aims to develop the state indicators of water quality for agricultural water, surface and groundwater, to evaluate the environmental impacts of agricultural activities and policies by qualifying the environmental levels of a nation. Status indicators were calculated according to the agricultural water quality standards of OECD and Korea, and their trends were analyzed over time. Particularly, nitrate ($NO_3{^-}$) status indicators of ground water in 2013 were significantly lower than the ones in 2000. Overall, the water quality indicators of surface water in 2013 were higher than the ones in 2012, except for pH and DO. The groundwater quality indicators in 2013 were lower than those of previous years. The optimal management indicators were calculated to assess agricultural surface water and groundwater quality. The findings of this study indicated that the state indicators could play a significant role to establish policies and procedures for managing and conserving water resources. This study also discussed water pollution caused by agricultural and industrial effluents.

  • Backgrounds/Aims: Reported incidence of extrahepatic bile duct cancer is higher in Asians than in Western populations. Korea, in particular, is one of the countries with the highest incidence rates of extrahepatic bile duct cancer in the world. Although research and innovative therapeutic modalities for extrahepatic bile duct cancer are emerging, clinical guidelines are currently unavailable in Korea. The Korean Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery in collaboration with related societies (Korean Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery Society, Korean Society of Abdominal Radiology, Korean Society of Medical Oncology, Korean Society of Radiation Oncology, Korean Society of Pathologists, and Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine) decided to establish clinical guideline for extrahepatic bile duct cancer in June 2021. Methods: Contents of the guidelines were developed through subgroup meetings for each key question and a preliminary draft was finalized through a Clinical Guidelines Committee workshop. Results: In November 2021, the finalized draft was presented for public scrutiny during a formal hearing. Conclusions: The extrahepatic guideline committee believed that this guideline could be helpful in the treatment of patients.

  • Background: The intermittent delta activity in electroencephalographies (EEGs) of patients with focal brain lesions has been reported to be a marker of an epileptogenic focus. This study investigated the concordance between the current source distribution (CSD) of the interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) and that of the background delta frequency bands (DFBs) of the scalp EEG. Methods: We collected scalp EEGs of 13 patients with focal epilepsy that contained uniregional IEDs and unilateral delta to theta slow waves. We applied a distributed source model using LORETA$^{(R)}$ to determine the CSD of the peak points of the IEDs and the DFBs of the background activity. Results: The CSDs of the DFBs were ipsilateral to the CSDs of the peak point of the averaged IEDs in ten patients, and bilateral with ipsilateral predominance in three patients. In the cases with an ipsilateral CSD of the DFB, 8 of 10 patients had concordance of the CSD localization between the averaged IED and the DFB. In the cases with bilateral CSD of the DFB, 2 of 3 patients had concordance of the CSD localization between the averaged IED and the DFB. Conclusions: The CSD localization and lateralization appear to be concordant between the IEDs and the DFB of background activity in epileptic patients. Therefore, the CSD of the DFB in EEGs with visually observable slow activities may predict those of IEDs.

  • Foward-swept wings are known to possess superior aerodynamic performance compared to the conventional straight wings. However major concerns regarding forward-swept wings include divergence at lower airspeeds which require careful consideration at the design stage. As an endeavor to overcome such drawbacks, aeroelastic tailoring is attempted. In order to find an optimal ply sequence, recursive aeroelastic analyses is conducted and one-dimensional beam analysis coupled with simple aerodynamics is used for the improved computational efficiency and modelling convenience. The analysis used in this paper, DYMORE and analytic formula, both use one-dimensional beam model for the structure. Cross-sectional analysis for multi-cell NACA0015 airfoil section is conducted using VABS and oblique function is used for the sweep angle. Throughout the present aeroelastic tailoring, the maximum divergence speed of 290.2m/s is achieved which is increased by approximately 43% than that for the conventional ply configuration.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of balance and gait when simultaneous application of Kinesio Taping on the lower extremities is done to improve the pattern of hemiplegic patients asymmetric lower extremity. Methods: This study was performed with 7 patients who have hemiplegia symptoms due to stoke. The taping on the paralyzed side was done on tibialis anterior, gluteus medius, gluteus maximus and psoas major and the taping on the unparalyzed side was done on the calf muscle and quadriceps. Berg Balance Scale(BBS) and Time Up and Go Test(TUG) was used to assessment the balance and gait of the patient after the kinesio taping was done on the lower extremities. The results of the test was analyzed by Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test on SPSS(Ver. 10.1). Results: When the taping was done on the paralyzed side, there was a significant improvement of balance and gait in BBS and TUG. When the taping was done on the lower extremities, it showed significant improvement of balance and gait, compared to when the taping was only done on the paralyzed side, according to BBS and TUG. Conclusion: The result of this study shows that the simultaneous taping of the lower extremities of the hemiplegic patients improves balance and gait by improving the pattern of patients lower extremities.

  • 성덕댐은 기존 농업용 저수지였던 수락저수지를 다목적댐으로 재개발한 우리나라 최초의 사례로 2006년 11월에 착공하였다. 댐재개발 사업은 장랠 물 부족이 예상되나, 현재 마땅한 댐 개발적지가 부족하여 수자원 확보를 위해 기존의 댐을 재개발하는 것으로, 기 개발된 수자원의 활용도 제고 및 환경적으로 건전하고 지속 가능한 수자원을 개발하는 사업을 말한다. 기존의 수락저수지의 재원은 높이 19.0m, 길이 150.0m, 총 저수량 $806,000m^3$이었으며, 성덕다목적댐으로 재개발 되면서 증가된 주요재원은 높이 58.5m, 길이 274.0m, 총 저수량 $27,900,000m^3$이다. 성덕다목적댐 건설이 완료됨에 따라 기존의 농업용수($8,400m^3$/일) 공급뿐만 아니라 하천유지용수 $5,800m^3$/일 및 경북 청송, 영천, 경산지역에 생활용수와 공업용수를 $42,300m^3$/일를 공급할 수 있게 되었으며, 홍수조절용량 $4,200,000m^3$을 확보하여 유역의 홍수예방에도 기여할 수 있다. 댐의 운영기준을 수립하기 위해서는 적어도 20년 이상의 댐 유입량 자료가 필요하지만 성덕댐의 경우 댐 유입량 자료의 확보가 쉽지 않은 상황이다. 이에 K-water에서 개발하고 다양한 다목적 댐 유역에 적용한 경험이 있는 격자기반 강우-유출 모형인 K-DRUM(K-water Distributed Rainfall rUnoff Model)을 이용하여 성덕댐 유역의 장기유출모형을 구축하였다. 격자기반 수문모형의 장점은 공간적인 비균질성을 고려하여 물리적인 유출과정을 모형화할 수 있고, 이로 인해 신뢰성 있는 수문해석이 가능하기 때문이다. 성덕댐 유역의 K-DRUM 모형을 구축하기 위해서 토지이용도, 토양도(종류, 유효토심), 하천차수도, 유역도, 표고분포도 등을 수집하였으며, 격자는 60m의 정사각형 격자로 약 11,500개를 구성하여 적용하였다. 기상자료로는 안동, 의성, 영천 기상대의 강우자료와 안동 기상대의 기상자료를 활용하였다. 모형의 보정을 위해서는 2016년을 시단위로 모의하였으며 성덕댐 유입량와 비교하여 매개변수를 보정하였고, $R^2$는 0.72, NSE는 0.70, RMSE는 1.82로 신뢰도 높은 보정결과를 획득할 수 있었다. 보정된 매개변수를 성덕댐 유역의 장기유출에 적용하였으며, 1997년부터 2017년까지 총 21년 장기유출 모의를 수행하였으며, 모의결과는 댐 운영기준의 기초자료로 활용하였다.

  • Background: There arc two theories in the development of colon cancer. One is the adenoma-carcinoma sequence theory and the other is the de novo cancer theory. Western countries believe in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence theory, however there are many recent reports from, Japan about cancers developing from small adenomas. Methods: The present study analyzed 408 polyps from 508 cases that were taken by colonoscopic polypectomy at the Department of internal Medicine, Yeungnam University Hospital. Results: The percentage of patients who had a polyp was 41.3% (210 cases out of 526 cases), and the peak incidence was noted in patients in their 50s and 60s, There was no difference between the sexes, but we noted significant increase in the incidence of polyps in patients over the age of thirty. We found 395 polyps below 1cm and 13 polyps above 1cm. Among 408 polyps, 5 cases were cancerous polyps and 3 cases showed polyp size of less than 1cm each. The first case was a polyp of 0.4cm in size with elevated mucosa at the ascending colon. The second was 0.5cm in size with round elevation and hyperemic mucosa in the rectum. The third was 0.6cm in size with tubular elevation at the hepatic flexure. Conclusions: Colon polyp is a common disease in Koreans, Even small polyps can have cancer tissue, which should be removed if discovered during colonoscopy. We believe that not all colon cancer originates in the manner described by the adenoma-carcinoma sequence theory. However further studies with a larger sample population arc needed to determine the exact role of colon polyps in the development of colon cancer.
