This study was performed to determine if Juglandis semen extract(JSE) has free radical scavenging and antioxidant activities. Superoxide anion generation by xanthine oxidase/xanthine and in neutrophils activated by phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate was inhibited by JSE and its effect was dose-dependent. JSE also inhibited generation of $H_2O_2$ induced by glucose oxidase/glucose and in opossum kidney cells treated with antimycin A. JSE exerted a direct $H_2O_2$ scavenging effect. Exposure of opossum kidney cells to 1mM tBHP caused a significant increase in lipid peroxidation, which was prevented by JSE. JSE also prevented tBHP-induced LDH release. These data suggest that JSE has free radical scavenging and antioxidant activities. However, further studies should be carried out to find the active ingredient(s) of JSE that exerts radical scavenging action.

Objective : Juglandis Semen has a function that to invigorate the lung and kidney. And It is commonly used as a supporting agent in the treatment of coughing and bronchitis. This study was performed to investigate the effect of oral administration of Juglandis Semen Extract (JSE) against the experimental asthma induced by ovalbumin. Methods : Asthma was induced to Balb/c mouse by i.p. injection and aerosol immunization with ovalbumin. It was observed the change of the cell number in the BAL fluid. Concentrations of IL-4, IL-5 in splenoc yte were assessed by ELISA, IgG and IgE from serum were calculated by same method. Results : 1. Number of macrophage in BAL fluid was significantly decreased in JSE group compared with control group, but not eosinophil and lymphocyte. 2. Levels of IgG and IgE in serum were significantly decreased in JSE group compared with control group, respectively. 3. Concentration of IL-4 in culture supernatant of splenocyte was significantly decreased in JSE group compared with control group, but there was no significant in IL-5. Conclusion : We found that the effect of JSE extract in asthma was implicated in reduction of IL4released from Th2 cell, and decreases of IgG and IgE from plasma cell. These findings suggest that JSE can produce anti-asthmatic effect, which may play a role in allergen-induced asthma therapy.

Purpose: To validate the Korean Version of the Jefferson Empathy Scale for Health professionals (K-JSE-HP) in a sample of Korean nurses. Methods: Internal consistency reliability, construct and criterion validity were calculated using SPSS (22.0) and AMOS (22.0). Data were collected from 253 nurses (230 women, 23 men) working at one university hospital in Seoul, South Korea. Results: The Korean version of JSE-HP showed reliable internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha for the total scale of .89, and .74~.84 for subscales. The model of three subscales for the K-JSE-HP was validated by confirmatory factor analysis (${\chi}^2=864.60$, Q=6.55, p<.001, CFI=.94, NNFI=.92). Criterion validity compared to the Interpersonal Reaction Index (IRI) showed significant correlation. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that the Korean JSE-HP shows satisfactory construct and criterion validity and reliability. It is a useful tool to measure Korean nurses' empathy.

Purpose: This study was to validate the Korean version of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professions Students (K-JSE-HPS) in undergraduate nursing students. Methods: With a survey design, a total of 293 junior and senior nursing students were recruited and data were collected using a self-administered study questionnaire to measure their levels of empathy use the K-JSE-HPS. Using SPSS/WIN 22.0 and AMOS 22.0, data analysis was conducted with confirmatory factor analysis, criterion validity, and reliability. Results: For construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis showed an acceptable model fit (Goodness of Fit Index was 0.88) along with confirming convergent and discriminant validity (construct reliability was 0.70). For criterion validity, the scale was significantly related with the Interpersonal Reaction Index. For reliability, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficient for the scale was 0.87 and for the subscales were 0.84, 0.78, and 0.69, respectively. Conclusion: The findings show satisfactory construct and criterion validity and reliability of the Korean version of the JSE-HPS for measuring empathy in undergraduate nursing students.

Purpose - First, this study contextually examines the governance codes of South Africa and South Korea. Second, it analyzes board features of South African (JSE) Mainboard and South Korean (KRX) KOSPI-listed companies. Design/methodology - This review is qualitative and uses data from the annual reports of the selected markets' companies, respective exchanges' official web sites and corporate governance-related web sites in order to examine the corporate governance practices in the two markets. In addition, Nvivo is employed in analyzing the content of the corporate governance codes of the selected countries. Findings - Our analysis indicates that the corporate governance codes of the two countries are evolving to keep up with the international trend of principles-based approach. The composition of the board of directors (BODs) of non-financial companies of both South Africa and South Korea shows no significant variation between the companies with regards to the executive (inside) and nonexecutive (outside) directors. On the contrary, there is a significant variation between South African and South Korean listed companies with respect to diversity. Originality/value - While previous studies are centered on the impact of governance codes on performance, this study intends to contextually evaluate the codes and features of South Africa and South Korea listed companies. This is essential and timely for regulators and policy makers given the importance of corporate governance features such as board independence and diversity in recent times.

This paper describes for reducing harmonic distortion on CO2 welding machine with nonlinear load characteristic using single-switch three-phase AC/DC converter. The low-order harmonic component amplitude of the phase current of single-switch three-phase discontinuous mode is calculated. Experimental results show that CO2 welding machine with single-switch three-phase AC/DC converter is effectively controlled with power factor correction for phase current during welding time.

With the recent emergence of foldable electronic devices, interest in flexible organic memory is significantly growing. There are three types of flexible organic memory that have been researched so far: floating-gate (FG) memory, ferroelectric field-effect-transistor (FeFET) memory, and resistive memory. Herein, performance parameters and operation mechanisms of each type of memory device are introduced, along with a brief summarization of recent research progress in flexible organic memory.

This study set out to investigate the challenges to science teacher's teaching practices in the Anglophone sub-system of education in Cameroon secondary schools. A sample of 331 of these teachers was selected using the purposive sampling method. Data was collected by use of a questionnaire and was subjected to inferential analysis. The major findings from the multiple regression were challenges associated with the size and management of a science class have an effect on the teaching practices of a science teacher. However, challenges with availability of instructional resources did not have an effect on science teaching practices. Recommendations to solve the identified drawbacks include the provision of more classrooms to accommodate the ever growing population of students and the organization of many seminars through which teachers could be educated on how to handle classroom problems and improvise when necessary.
