This study was a preparatory experiment aimed the development of membrane scaffolds for tissue engineering. A PCL composite solution contained sodium chloride(NaCl). PCL porous membrane scaffolds were formed on a glass casting plate using a film applicator and immersed in distilled water to remove the NaCl reaching after drying. NaCl was used as a pore former for a 3 dimensional pore net-work. The dry condition parameters were $4^{\circ}C$, room temperature (RT) and $40^{\circ}C$ for each different temperatures in the drying experiment. SEM revealed the morphology of the pores in the membrane after drying and evaluated the in vitro cytotoxicity for basic bio-compatibility. The macro and micro pores existed together in the scaffold and showed a 3-dimensional pore net-working morphology at RT. The in vitro cytotoxicity test result was "grade 2" in accordance with the criterion for cytotoxicity by ISO 10993-5. The dry condition affected the formation of a 3 dimensional pore network and micro and macro pores. Therefore, these results are expected provide the basic process for the development of porous membrane scaffolds to control degradation and allow drug delivery.

The purpose of this study is to assess the association of vitamin D and pulse pressure in Korean adults. The data for analysis were obtained from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010. PP showed a significant positive correlation with Age(p<0.01), TG(p<0.01), TC(p<0.01), FBS (p<0.01), BMI(p<0.01) and Waist measurement(p<0.01). PP showed a significant negative correlation with HDL-C(p<0.01), Height(p<0.01), Weight(p<0.01) and 25(OH)D(p<0.01). When a multiple linear regression analysis was performed, PP was considered as the dependent variable, Age, Height, Weight, Waist measurement, BMI, TC, TG, HDL-C, FBS and 25(OH)D as independent parameters, PP maintained a significant association only with Age(p<0.001), Waist measurement(p<0.001), FBS(p<0.001), 25(OH)D(p<0.001), TC(p<0.001), Weight(p<0.001), HDL-C(p<0.001). In conclusion, Our results suggest that vitamin D decrease may contribute to higher PP. To maintain standard level of vitamin D may be expected that decrease in incidence of coronary arterial disease.

This is a descriptive research study that aims to identify the effects of professionalism, job satisfaction, and resilience on the retention intention of home visiting nurses from the long-term care insurance system of Korea. Data were collected from self-administered surveys completed by 141 home visiting nurses of registered visiting-nursing institutions in the long-term care insurance database (April 1-May 31, 2019). Analyses were independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), the Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation analysis using SPSS/WIN 22.0, and multiple hierarchical regression analyses. Results showed that the mean professionalism score was 3.51/5, 3.27/5 for job satisfaction, 3.79/5 for resilience, and 4.04/5 for retention intention. A positive correlation existed between retention intention and professionalism (r = .272), job satisfaction (r = .201), and resilience (r = .530). The final regression model showed that resilience (β = .455, p < .001) and job satisfaction (β = .175, p = .016) significantly affect retention intention. The variables' model explanation power was 32.0% (F = 11.968, p < .001). The results show the need for strategies to improve resilience, followed by strategies to improve job satisfaction to increase the retention intentions of these home visiting nurses.

Interest in the development of renewable energy sources has been increasing over the past 10 years and the west coast of Korea is one of the most favorable regions for tidal power. Barrage type tidal power is representative of the experience of installation and operation of such power sources for long periods. However, future projects for barrage type energy sources are either delayed or closed due to their environmental impact. For this reason, we applied a new tidal power technology with minimized environmental impact to a candidate area in the west coast and then analyzed its feasibility. The new tidal power technology is called Dynamic Tidal Power (DTP). Because its verification is impossible both in the laboratory and field, a numerical model is used for the evaluation of DTP. This new technology produces tidal power by means of the phase difference caused by diffraction on both sides of a dike built tens of km away from the coast. Because DTP is theoretically able to almost double the tidal range, it is expected to be applicable to even a small tidal area. Unlike the barrage type, it has the advantage of reducing the environmental impact by not enclosing the sea water. The west coast of Korea is close to the metropolitan area and has a high tidal range and, thus, it is thought to be a suitable candidate for tidal power.

This study was conducted to identify the relationship between negative emotion and obesity and provide adequate information to enable effective nursing intervention in elderly. Participants were 216 elderly who had been attending two geriatric welfare facilities in Chungbuk. The data were collected between 14 and 30 August, 2017 with a structured questionnaire and body measurement. The questionnaires were CES-D, RULS, BPS and collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ${\chi}^2-test$, Fisher' exact tests, Pearson's correlation, and logistic regression with SPSS/WIN 22.0. The mean BMI of participants was $23.59{\pm}3.48$ and the prevalence of obesity was 31.9%. Significant differences were observed in age (${\chi}^2=8.16$, p=.003), gender (${\chi}^2=9.27$, p=.002), smoking (${\chi}^2=7.78$, p=.004), depression (t=2.54, p=.012) and social isolation (t=2.98, p=.003) between the normal and obesity groups. Depression (OR,1.04; 95% CI, 1.00-1.09) and social isolation (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.02-1.11) was associated with an increased risk obesity. Therefore, it was necessary to measure and quantify the depression and social isolation for weight management among the elderly. Moreover, it is necessary to develop health promotion programs and nursing intervention, including the need for physical, mental, and social relationships.

Due to the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, it is imperative that we aggressively continue to develop state-of-the-art, cutting edge ICT technology relative to autonomous vehicles, intelligent robots, and so forth. Especially, systems based on convergence IT are being developed in the form of CPSs (Cyber Physical Systems) that interwork with sensors and actuators. Since conventional CPS specification only expresses behavior of one system, specification for collaboration and diversity of CPS systems with characteristics of hyper-connectivity and hyper-convergence in the 4th Industrial Revolution has been insufficiently presented. Additionally, behavioral modeling of CPSs that considers more collaborative characteristics has been unachieved in real-time application domains. This study defines the non-functional requirements that should be identified in developing embedded software for real-time constrained collaborating CPSs. These requirements are derived from ISO 25010 standard and formally specified based on state-based timed process. Defined non-functional requirements may be reused to develop the requirements for new embedded software for CPS, that may lead to quality improvement of CPS.

The establishment of a green remodeling strategy is focused on technology, so the necessity of establishing a customized strategy considering the field situation has emerged. This paper examined the technology strategy through sensitivity analysis as a methodology for guiding strategy. For a 90-square-meter detached house, nine models of the construction standards of pre-1980s, 1984, and 2010 in Seoul, Daejeon, and Busan were assessed using the optimization method that combines the energy plus engine and the ModeFrontier. Sensitivity analysis was performed, and the remodeling strategy priority was derived. For pre-1980 models, the strategy for enhancing the roof insulation performance had a significant priority. The SHGC values of the windows were found to have the next highest priority regardless of the region and the time of completion, showing that the performance standard, including the SHGC, needs to be expanded. The possibility of remodeling while maintaining the existing geometry was confirmed because the adjustment of the window wall ratio accompanying large-scale demolition works has low priority. The priorities of technology strategies in each case showed very different patterns, suggesting the possibility of establishing a remodeling strategy by a comprehensive evaluation along with economics and constructability analysis.
