Constipation is the most common digestive disorder, and it occurs frequently in the early stages and affects the prognosis on rehabilitation stage in the patients with brain injury. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bowel habits of brain-injured patients undergoing enteral nutrition immediately after admission to rehabilitation and transmission, and to investigate the effects of abdominal massage and lower extremity exercise. The study design is a quasi-experimental study to investigate the effect of a bowel care intervention (abdominal massage and lower extremity exercise) applicable to patients with brain lesions. As a result of the study, the number of bowel movements was significantly higher in the intervention group (p=.030), and the use of suppositories in the control group was statistically significantly higher than that in the intervention group (p=.004). The time of constipation relief was 1.73 days for the experimental group and 4.61 days for the control group, indicating that there was a difference in the time of constipation relief between the two groups (p<.001). Abdominal massage and lower extremity exercise were effective as nursing interventions to relieve constipation and prevent constipation in patients with brain injury from the early stage of rehabilitation.

This study aimed to translate and validate the Positive and Negative Ex-Relationship Thoughts (PANERT), a scale measuring the positive and negative valence of thoughts about past relationships in early adulthood. For this purpose, PANERT was translated into Korean and the study surveyed on 337 single male and female adults in their 20. Then, the gender difference between major variables was analyzed. After going through item analysis, all twelve original items were used to construct the Korean version of PANERT. The confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) supported the two factors structure of the Korean version of PANERT: positive vs, negative thought content valence. Also, the reliability coefficients of each two factors were all satisfactory. As a result of a correlation analysis, the criterion-related validity of the two sub-factors was good with other related scales(Intrusive rumination scale of K-ERRI, K-DASS-21-D, and K-PANAS-Revised) except for changes of self-perception. Finally, the research model was built to examine the mediating effect of two affect responses(positive and negative) in the relationship between two thought content valences and depression. In this process, the convergence and discriminant validity of the Korean version of PANERT were confirmed and the indirect effect was also confirmed in the structural equation model. In conclusion, the Korean version of PANERT consists of two factors and twelve items in total. Also, it is a reliable and valid tool for measuring the thought content valences in the romantic relationship breakup experience of early adults.

This study aimed at investigating the validity of WHR (or waist-to-hip ratio) and Golden ratio as standards of physical attractiveness. Each of 60 male and 60 female college students were divided into two groups of 30. Using the 3D game program, each person in one group drew a physically attractive figure of the opposite sex while the other group drew a physically attractive figure of the same sex. Then, WHR and Golden ratio of the figures were measured and compared with the ideal WHR (.7 for women and .9 for men) and Golden ratio 1.618. It was found that WHR and Golden ratio for the physically attractive figures were lower than the ideal standards regardless of the participant's gender. That is, the participants preferred to men and women having curvaceous body shapes with a narrow waist and a wide pelvis. In most cases, Golden ratios measured in many ways were not correspondent to the ideal ratio, 1.618. In regards to BR (or Body Ratio), the legs and waist of the physically attractive figures were shorter relative to the Golden ratio and this was more salient for physically attractive man figures. Regarding the facial ratio measured by FR(or facial ratio) and FR_VP(or facial ratio_vertical point), the faces of figures made by participants, regardless of their sex, were shorter and wider compared to the Golden ratio. Further, the participants preferred baby-faced woman and masculine man figures. Finally, implications of the findings, limitations the of the present study, and the suggestions for future research were discussed.

The aim of this study is to verify the relationships of factors affecting nursing performance of clinical nurses focused on positive affective events. The subjects of this study were 275 clinical nurses from secondary and tertiary general hospitals. Data collection was conducted for two months from May 2021 through an online survey through snowball sampling. Data analyzed was using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0. The variables affecting job satisfaction included direct effect of positive affective events (β=.65, p<.001), and direct effect of positive affectivity (β=.10, p=.038). Job satisfaction (β=.47, p<.001) had statistically significant direct effects on nursing performance. Positive affective events (β=.32, p=.003) and positive affectivity (β=.05, p=.039) had statistically significant indirect effects on nursing performance. These variables explained for 22% of nursing performance. However, emotional labor had no significant effect on job satisfaction and nursing performance. The results indicate that positive affective events and positive affectivity result in high degree of job satisfaction. Job satisfaction would increase the level of nursing performance. Therefore, in order to improve nursing performance, it is necessary to provide educational opportunities and interventions that can promote positive work environment and positive affectivity.

Purpose: Underground utility tunnel is facility that is jointly house infrastructure such as electricity, water and gas in city, causing condensation problems due to lack of airflow. This paper aims to prevent electricity leakage fires caused by condensation by detecting whether the control panel door in the underground utility tunnel is open using a deep learning model. Method: YOLO, a deep learning object recognition model, is trained to recognize the opening and closing of the control panel door using video data taken by a robot patrolling the underground utility tunnel. To improve the recognition rate, image augmentation is used. Result: Among the image enhancement techniques, we compared the performance of the YOLO model trained using mosaic with that of the YOLO model without mosaic, and found that the mosaic technique performed better. The mAP for all classes were 0.994, which is high evaluation result. Conclusion: It was able to detect the control panel even when there were lights off or other objects in the underground cavity. This allows you to effectively manage the underground utility tunnel and prevent disasters.

The choice of business method is a necessary decision at the last moment of life, and to this end, we use several criteria. Our funeral methods were dominated by ancestral worship culture and religion, not nature. It is only recently that nature was used as a means from a human perspective, but natural field methods such as consideration for nature and symbiosis with nature have emerged. The recent high public preference for natural fields is today's strong zeitgeist and nature-friendly values. Based on statistics in 2021, Korea's national cremation rate exceeded 92%, and compared to less than 20% of the cremation rate just 20 years ago, our business method has changed rapidly. As the cremation promotion movement and government policies, which began in the early 90s, were systematically developed, the enshrinement facility was established next to us. However, while this was also subject to criticism of national damage, the Jang Act called natural field was introduced into the system in 2008, and about 15 years have passed, but the revitalization of natural field is slower than expected. One of the reasons for the stagnation of development is to forget the basic spirit of the natural field (once you return to the forest), and to think like a graveyard grave. Accordingly, this study aims to identify the background of the introduction and current operation of natural fields and present development measures to improve memorial services to make natural fields loved by the people.

Modeling of artificial targets in Synthetic Aperture radar (SAR) mainly simulates radar signals reflected from the faces and edges of the 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) model with a ray-tracing method, and modeling of the clutter on the Earth's surface uses a method of distinguishing types with similar distribution characteristics through statistical analysis of the SAR image itself. In this paper, man-made targets on the surface and background clutter on the terrain are integrated and made into a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud scatterer model, and SAR image were created through computational signal processing. The results of the SAR Stripmap image generation of the actual automobile based SAR radar system and the results analyzed using EM modeling or statistical distribution models are compared with this 3D point cloud scatterer model. The modeling target is selected as an bridge because it has the characteristic of having both water surface and ground terrain around the bridge and is also a target of great interest in both military and civilian use.

This study aimed to increase the targeting ability against PSMA in cell therapy using metabolic glycoengineering and biorthogonal chemistry and to visualize cell trafficking using PET imaging. Cellular membranes of THP-1 cells were decorated with azide(-N₃) using Ac₄ManNAz by metabolic glycoengineering. Engineered THP-1 cells were conjugated with DBCO-bearing fluorophore (ADIBO-Cy5.5) for 1 h at different concentrations and analyzed by confocal fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. For PSAM ligand conjugation to THP-1 cells, Ac₄ManNAz treated THP-1 cells were incubated with DBCO-PSMA ligand (ADIBO-GUL) at a final concentration with 100 µM for 1 h. To evaluate the effect on cell recognition, PSMA ligand conjugated THP-1 cells(as effectors) were co-cultured with PSMA positive 22RV1 (as target cells) at 3 : 1 a effector-to-target cell (E/T) ratio. The interaction between THP-1 and 22RV1 was monitored by confocal fluorescence microscopy. For preparing the radiolabeled THP-1, the cells were treated at the activity of ~ 740 kBq of [⁸⁹Zr]Zr(oxinate)₄/5 × 10⁶ cells. Radiolabeled cells were analyzed for determination of cell-associated radioactivity by gamma counting and viability using MTS assay. In the cytotoxicity assay, THP-1 cells did not have any cytotoxicity even when the Ac₄ManNAz concentration was 100 µM. In confocal microscopy and flow cytometry, THP-1 cells were efficiently labeled ADIBO-Cy5.5 in a dose-dependent manner, and the dose of 100 µM was the optimal concentration for the following experiments. The clusters of PSMA ligand-conjugated THP-1 cells and 22RV1 cells were identified, indicating cell-cell recognition over the cell surface between two types of cells. Cell radiolabeling efficiency was 54.5 ± 17.8%. THP-1 labeled with 0.09 ± 0.03 Bq/cell showed no significant cytotoxicity compared to unlabeled THP-1 up to 7 days. We successfully demonstrated that Ac₄ManNAz treated cells were efficiently conjugated with ADIBO-GUL for preparing the PSMA-targeting cells, and [⁸⁹Zr]Zr(oxinate)₄ could be used to label cells without toxicity. It suggested that PSMA-ligand conjugated cell therapy could be improved cell targeting and be monitored by PET imaging.
