  • This study is to recognize the relationship between better life index, nursing performance and intents to leave among hospital nurses by comparison. From July 1to July 20, 2012. we collected survey results subjecting on total 700 nurses by random sampling of hospital-class medical institutes over 200 beds located on Busan & Gyeongnam, and analyzed final 677 copies. We recognized the degrees and the differences of happiness index, professionalism, intents to leave among hospital nerses and analyzed the factors impacting on intents to leave among hospital nerses through correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis between variables. The main result is as follows: First, the average of the item related to happiness index of nurse was 3.03 (5 points of scale) and the average score of professionalism was 3.09 (medium degree) but the average score of turnover intention was 3.35 (relatively high); Second, professionalism and turnover intention according to characteristics of subjects were significant statistically (p<0.05) and turnover intention indicated a significant negative relation with happiness index and professionalism; Third, a factor which mostly impact on turnover intention indicated a significant level (p<0.05) in professionalism, happiness index, general hospital, 2.01 to 2.5 million of average pay. Based on such results, as happiness index and professionalism are indicated as major factors to turnover intention, multi-dimensional viewpoint of follow-up study including further variables is required and the plan to apply nursing intervention program for reducing turnover intention is also required.

  • This paper dealt with electrical and optical requirements of naval vessel's LED luminaires. And the products have been tested to determine whether the products meet these requirements or not. This study analyzes the cost-effectiveness of the LED luminaires which have been implemented for the application to naval vessel since 2012. The LED requirements were proposed based on comparison among other standards/specifications such as Korean Industrial Standard(KS), Korean Defense Specification(KDS) and US Navy Military Specification(MIL). Application of the proposed requirements were then be verified by analyzing and testing the electrical and optical characteristics of both fluorescent Luminaires and LED luminaires, and the LED luminaires were installed to A1 naval vessels according to the proposed requirements. As results, approximately 40% of power consumption was saved by using LED luminaires compared to using fluorescent luminaires while luminous flux was increased by 10~15%. Moreover, using LED luminaires of the proposed requirements exhibited the effect of reducing approximately 4,900 fluorescent luminaires in 10 naval vessels in the time period between 2012 to 2015, which is equivalent to cost reduction of \0.56M approximately. Such cost reduction is further expected considering the LED luminaires will continue to be applied to naval vessels in the future.

  • This study carries out to evaluate the value of introducing the road guard system that merges the function of a fence that induces wild animals and a grass inhibitor to an existing guard rail that acts as road safety facilities. For this purpose, we surveyed that road user's willingness-to-pay and recognition characteristics for road safety facilities using contingent valuation Method. By establishing a willingness-to-pay assumption model, the average willingness-to-pay was 5,018 won, which was higher than the average proposed amount of 3,883 won and shows that the road guard system is an appropriate alternative facility to increase road safety and reduce road kills. Therefore, it would be prudent to review the introduction of the road guard system to newly constructed roads or current roads in operation as a way of reducing road kills. In the future, the road guard system must be tested in areas that are highly susceptible to road kills after consulting with the relevant highway managing authorities to conduct a comparison study on the before and after installation effect of the road guard system to investigate its operation and the current status of road kills to clearly identify its effectiveness.

  • In order to standardize the manufacturing processes of Hahyangju, a traditional Korean liquor, 29 yeast strains were isolated from traditional Nuruk. Strain N8 exhibited a particularly strong resistance to sugar. Strains HA2, HA3 and HA4 grew successfully in medium containing 10% ethanol. In comparison with the growth exhibited by these strains when grown in a yeast malt extract medium, the ethanol production rates for the three strains were 10.8%, 10.45%, and 10%, respectively in a yeast malt extract medium containing 25% glucose. Based on these results, HA3 was the strain selected for use in the manufacturing processes of Hahyangju and it was identified as a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain with 97% ITS sequence similarity. The use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae HA3 causcd a decrease in the lactic acid content, acidity and growth of lactic acid bacteria in the fermentation mash. Following thc addition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae HA3 to the manufacturing process of Hahyangju, the second fermentation mash showed a 22% increase in the alcohol production rate associated with traditional fermentation; however, the amino acidity, pH and reducing sugar content showed little change. Sensory evaluation of Hahyangju fermented with S. cerevisiae HA3 also showed better scores than Hahyangju mashed by the traditional method.

  • The objective of this study was to investigate the quality and sensory characteristics of sweet persimmon mashes and spirits fermented by three different yeasts [Saccharomyces species, labeled as LB (Lalvin BM $4{\times}4$), LD (Lalvin DV10), and UC (Uvaferm CM)]. In the production of sweet persimmon wines, UC had the highest alcohol content of 10.20% (v/v) after 9 days of fermentation (P<0.05). The range of pH after fermentation was 3.63~3.75. The total aerobic bacteria and yeast contents increased until day 3 and then continuously decreased to approximately 8.60 log CFU/mL and 8.20 log CFU/mL, respectively. Reducing sugar contents were 3.37% in UC, 3.91% in LD, and 4.05% in LB after fermentation. Total sugar contents were 4.89% in UC, 6.24% in LD, and 5.47% in LB after fermentation. Two-stage single-pot distillation was conducted to produce sweet persimmon spirits. While conducting second distillation, spirits were collected every 100 mL fraction. The alcohol contents gradually decreased as more fractions were collected. The amounts of acetaldehyde were 226 mg/L for LD, 225 mg/L for LB, and 310 mg/L for UC in the first fraction. LD produced the highest volume (677.8 mL) of alcohol in its body part in comparison with LB (408.0 mL) and UC (445.4 mL). In the descriptive analysis, UC had stronger intensities of sweet aroma, sour aroma and taste, and persimmon flavor (P<0.05). Persimmon characteristics seemed to be well characterized by UC. In conclusion, LD was the most efficient in terms of production cost, whereas UC would be used to produce a more flavorful sweet persimmon spirit.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of the commercial black garlic (NHBG: Namhae black garlic, USBG: Uiseng black garlic, CNBG: Changnyung black garlic) and FABG (fermented and aged black garlic). The sugar contents of NHBG, USBG, CNBG, and FABG were 42.7, 42.7, 56.7 and $54.7^{\circ}Brix$, respectively, whereas the reducing sugar contents were 15.0, 16.0, 23.5 and 25.9%. The pH decreased with the processing of the fermented aged black garlic, whereas the acidity increased. In addition, the thiol content was the highest in fermented and aged black garlic (p<0.05). The antioxidant activities by DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of fermented and aged black garlic were much higher than those of the other samples. Total phenol contents of NHBG, USBG, CNBG and FABG were 0.64 mg/mL, 0.60 mg/mL, 0.68 mg/mL and 0.72 mg/mL, respectively. ABTS radical scavenging activity of fermented and aged black garlic were much higher then those of the other samples. FRAP values of NHBG, USBG, CNBG, and FABG were 1.7 mg/mL, 1.4 mg/mL, 1.7 mg/mL and 1.9 mg/mL, respectively. Based on these results, it is suggested that the fermented and aged black garlic was appropriate for good qualities in terms of both physicochemical and antioxidative activities.

  • Urbanization causes many environmental, hydrological and ecological problems such as distortion of the natural water circulation system, increase in nonpoint source pollutants in stormwater runoff, degradation of surface water quality, and damage to the ecosystem. Due to the increase in impervious surface by urbanization, developed countries apply low impact development (LID) techniques as important alternatives to reduce the impacts of urbanization. In Korea, LID techniques were employed since 2012 in order to manage nonpoint source pollutants. LID technology is a technique for removing pollutants using a variety of physical, chemical and biological mechanisms in plants, microorganisms and filter media with the reduced effluence of stormwater runoff by mimicking natural water circulation system. These LID facilities are used in a variety of filter media, but an assessment has not been carried out for the comprehensive comparison evaluation of adsorption and desorption characteristics for the pollutant removal capacity. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the adsorption and desorption characteristics of various filter media used in the LID facilities such as sand, gravel, bioceramic, wood chips and bottom ash etc. in reducing heavy metals(Pb, Cu). In this study, the adsorption affinity for Pb in all filter media was higher than Cu. Pseudo second order equation and Langmuir-3 isotherm are more applicable in the adsorption kinetic model and adsorption isotherm model, respectively. As a result of the desorption experiment, the filter media does not exceed KSLT which is the hazardous substance leaching limit, showing the capability of the filter media in LID. The bioceramic and woodchip as filter medias were evaluated and exhibited excellent adsorption capacity for Pb.
