Resistance training (RT) is associated with reduced risk of low grade inflammation related diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The majority of the data studying cytokines and exercise comes from endurance exercise. In contrast, evidence establishing a relationship between RT and inflammation is more limited. This review focuses on the cytokine responses both following an acute bout, and after chronic RT. In addition, the effect of RT on low grade systemic inflammation such as individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes is reviewed. Cytokines are secreted proteins that influence the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of immune cells and other organ systems. Cytokines function as intracellular signals and almost all cells in the body either secrete them or have cytokine receptors. Thus, understanding cytokine role in a specific physiological situation such as a bout of RT can be exceedingly complex. The overall effect of long term RT appears to ameliorate inflammation, but the specific effects on the inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor alpha are not clear, requiring further research. Furthermore, it is critical to differentiate between chronically and acute Interleukin-6 levels and its sources. The intensity of the RT and the characteristics of the training protocol may exert singular cytokine responses and as a result different adaptations to exercise. More research is needed in the area of RT in healthy populations, specifically sorting out gender and age RT acute responses. More importantly, studies are needed in obese individuals who are at high risk of developing low grade systemic inflammatory related diseases. Assuring adherence to the RT program is essential to get the benefits after overcoming the first acute RT responses. Hence RT could be an effective way to prevent, and delay low grade systemic inflammatory related diseases.

본 논문에서는 팔레트 기반 이미지(palette-based image) 또는 인덱스 이미지(indexed image)라고 불리는 256색의 이미지에 대한 압축 성능 향상을 위한 새로운 알고리즘을 소개한다. 제안한 방식은 현재 색상이 갖는 인덱스 값을 중심으로 다음에 나오는 색상의 인덱스가 얼마나 발생하는지를 측정하고, 발생 빈도를 정렬하여 순위를 구한 후에, 색상에 대한 인덱스 값을 순위로 표현하여 원래의 인덱스 이미지를 대체한다. 그렇게 변화된 순위 인덱스이미지(ranked index image)의 인덱스 분포에서는 순위가 높은 곳에 같은 인덱스들이 더 많이 존재하기 때문에 데이터 중복성(redundancy)을 높일 수 있어, 압축 효율을 기대할 수 있다. 실험 결과에서는, 기존의 산술부호화 방식, 휘도 성분 기반의 JPEG-LS 방식 그리고 인덱스 기반의 GIF 방식들과 비교할 때, 원 이미지에 대한 압축률이 최대 22.5까지 향상되어 제안한 방식의 압축 성능이 훨씬 뛰어나다는 것을 보여준다.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the logistics industry in Korea has rapidly been expanding, with offline demand concentrating on online platforms owing to the development of digital infrastructure. This has increased the workload of courier drivers considerably, along with labor intensity. A delivery driver died recently from overwork due to the continuous increase in delivery volume, which raises social concerns. Delivery drivers work long hours, (over 12 hours) and are greatly affected by weather conditions, such as snow, rain, heat waves, and cold waves. In addition, they lack a fixed workplace; perform atypical work handling workpieces of various sizes, weights, and shapes; and spend a large amount of time driving as part of their work. This work involves a high level of tension and requires attention and concentration. Despite the frequency of industrial accidents in the courier industry, studies on safety and health to quantitatively analyze and systematize the work of courier workers are very scarce. Therefore, to define the work process necessary for investigating the harmful factors in delivery service and the work analysis, this study conducted interviews and on-site surveys to analyze the unit work of the delivery service by targeting delivery workers. In other words, a framework of unit work for work analysis was presented to enable research and analysis by considering the aforementioned characteristics of the courier industry. The process was broadly divided into work, transport, storage, delay, and inspection. Work was divided into loading, sorting, unloading, and door subcategories, and transportation was divided into vehicle, cart, and walking subcategories as well as 10 small processes. Moreover, 22 unit works were again drawn by conducting field surveys and interviews. The risk of unit work derived from this study was ergonomically evaluated, and the ergonomic analysis revealed that uploading and transportation were the most dangerous. The results of this study could be used as basic data for preventing industrial accidents among courier workers, whose work has increased with the logistics volume and the development of the logistics industry.

Since the SSC(soluble solid contents) and titratable acidity of fruit are highly concerned to the taste, the need for measuring them by non-destructive technology such as NIR(Visual and Near-infrared) spectroscopy is increasing. Specially, in order to grade the quality of each fruit with a sorter at sorting and packing facilities, technologies for online measurement satisfying the tolerance in terms of accuracy and speed should be developed. Many researches have been done to develop devices to measure the internal qualities of fruit such as SSC, titratable acidity, firmness, etc. with the VIS(Visual)/NIR(Near Infrared) reflectance spectra. The distributions of the SSC, titratable acidity, firmness, etc. are different with respect to the position and depth of fruit, and generally the VIS/NIR light can interact with fruit in a few millimeters of pathlength, and it is very difficult to measure the qualities of inner flesh of fruit. Therefore, to measure the average concentrations of each quality factor such as SSC and titratable acidity with the reflectance-type NIR devices, the spectra of fruit at several positions should be measured. Recently, the interest about the transmittance-type VIS/NIR devices is increasing. NIR light can penetrate through the fruit about 1/10-1/1,000,000 %. Therefore, very intensive light source and very sensitive sensor should be adopted to measure the transmitted light spectra of intact fruit. The ultimate purpose of this study was to develop a device to measure the transmitted light spectra of intact fruit such as apple, pear, peach, etc. With the transmittance-type VIS/NIR device, the feasibility of measurement of the SSC and titratable acidity in intact fruit cultivated in Korea was tested. The results are summarized as follows; A simple measurement device which can measure the transmitted light spectra of intact fruit was constructed with sample holder, two 500W-tungsten halogen lamps, a real-time spectrometer having a very sensitive CCD array sensor and optical fiber probe. With the device, it was possible to measure the transmitted light spectra of intact fruit such as apple, pear and peach. Main factors affecting the intensity of transmitted light spectra were the size of sample, the radiation intensity of light source and the integration time of the detector. Sample holder should be designed so that direct light leakage to the probe could be protected. Preprocessing method to the raw spectrum data significantly influenced the performance of the nondestructive measurement of SSC and titratable acidity of intact fruit. Representative results of PLS models in predicting the SSC of peach were SEP of 0.558 Brix% and R2 of 0.819, and those in predicting titratable acidity were SEP of 0.056% and R2 of 0.655.

Purpose: TThis study examined the effect of repetitive magnetic stimulation (RMS) on the viability and proliferative response of human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (hATSCs) in vitro. Methods: The hATSCs were cultured primarily from human adipose tissue harvested by liposuction and incubated in a $37^{\circ}C$ plastic chamber. The cells were exposed to a repetitive magnetic field using a customized magnetic stimulator (Biocon-5000, Mcube Technology). The RMS parameters were set as follows: repetition rate=10Hz, 25Hz (stimulus intensity 100%= 0.1 Tesla, at 4cm from the coil), stimulated time= 1, 5, and 20 minutes. Twenty four hours after one application of RMS, the hATSCs were compared with the sham stimulation, which were kept under the same conditions without the application of RMS. The cells were observed by optical microscopy to determine the morphology and assessed by trypan blue staining for cell proliferation. The apoptosis and viability of the hATSCs were also analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis of Annexin V and MTT assay. Results: After RMS, the morphology of the hATSCs was not changed and the apoptosis of hATSCs were not increased compared to the sham stimulation. The viability of the cells was similar to the cells given the sham stimulation. Interestingly, the level of hATSC proliferation was significantly higher in all RMS groups. Conclusion: The application of RMS may not cause a change in morphology and viability of hATSCs but can increase the level of cell proliferation in vitro. RMS might be useful as an adjuvant tool in combination with stem cell therapy without adverse effects.

본 연구는 김해의 구도심 중심지역인 동상동 종로길 간판개선사업을 위해 대상지 간판 색채 현황을 파악하고 개선 방향을 제안하기 위해 시작되었다. 연구대상 지역은 오래된 시설물로 침체한 거리 분위기를 형성하며, 구도심 간판의 전형적인 유형으로 재정비가 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 간판과 관련한 선행 연구 및 유사 간판 개선 사례를 조사한 후, 대상 지역의 간판 색채 조사를 통해 주조 색, 보조색, 강조 색을 분류하여 색채 현황을 파악하고 이를 바탕으로 향후 진행될 간판 사업에 바람직한 방향을 복합적으로 제안하는 것이다. 이에 본 논문은 대상 구간을 업종별로 나누어 간판 색채 분석을 시행하였다. 연구 결과 및 내용은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전반적인 업소들의 주조 색 간판은 L*값이 평균적으로 높아 고명도와 고채도의 색채를 가지고 다양한 원색 분포를 보였다. 둘째, 보조 색은 대부분 백색 혹은 흑색 계열의 무채색을 사용하여 주조 색과 대비되는 색채를 선택하고 있었다. 셋째, 강조 색은 a*값이 양수(+)에 높은 분포를 보여 적색 혹은 황색 계열과 같이 난색 위주로 분포되어 있었다. 그러나 전 구간 점포들은 중간색보다 채도가 높은 색을 사용하고 있었기 때문에 통일성이 부족하며 이는 거리의 미관을 저해하는 원인이 되고 있다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 향후 김해간판개선사업 색채 계획은 다양한 색을 사용하기보다 어느 정도 색채 수를 제한하고 김해시 대표색을 중심으로 무채색과 난색을 적절히 활용하는 것이 지역의 특색을 살리며 시각적으로 편안함과 안정감을 동시에 부여할 것으로 생각된다.
