  • Waterjets for rocks have various advantages of the non-contact and eco-friendly excavation using only water and abrasive. To overcome the problems (e.g., dust and noise occurrence) of the conventional drilling methods, waterjet excavation methods are broadly used. It is advantageous to operate a couple of nozzles in order to increase the waterjet excavation efficiency. When multiple nozzles are used, it is essential to analyze the excavation performance and shape according to the nozzle operation method. In this study, nozzle angle, horizontal distance between nozzles, and standoff distance were defined as nozzle operating parameters and the excavation performance and shape were analyzed. As a result of the experiment, when the nozzle angle and standoff distance are increased, the excavation depth is decreased and the effective depth tends to be increased. In addition, based on the experimental results, the excavation shape criteria required for nozzle insertion were proposed and optimal nozzle operating parameters were derived according to the criteria. This study result is expected to be used as useful basic research in the future development of multiple waterjet nozzles for rock drilling.

  • Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the volume of trauma patients, the number of orthopedic trauma operations, and the severity of injuries. We also investigated the correlations between social distancing and these variables. Methods: This was a retrospective review of trauma patient cases at a single focused training center for trauma in Korea from January 2017 to April 2021. The COVID-19 group included patients treated from January 1 to April 30 in 2020 and 2021, and the control group included patients treated during the same months from 2017 to 2019. The volume of trauma patients according to the level of social distancing was evaluated among patients treated from August 2, 2020 to November 23, 2020. Results: The study included 3,032 patients who presented to the emergency department with traumatic injuries from January to April 2017 to 2021. The average number of patients was 646.7 and 546.0 in the control and COVID-19 groups, respectively. The percentage of patients injured in traffic accidents (TAs) decreased from 25.0% to 18.2% (P<0.0001). The proportions of in-car TAs and pedestrian TAs also decreased from 6.7% and 10.8% to 3.5% and 6.0%, respectively (P=0.0002 and P<0.0001). The percentage of bicycle TAs increased from 2.4% to 4.0% (P=0.0128). The proportion of patients with an Injury Severity Score above 15 and the mortality rate did not change significantly. As the level of social distancing increased, the number of trauma patients and the number of trauma injuries from TAs decreased. The number of orthopedic trauma operations also depended on the social distancing level. Conclusions: The number of trauma patients presenting to the emergency department decreased during the COVID-19 period. The volume of trauma patients and orthopedic trauma operations decreased as the social distance level increased.

  • The aim of this study was to compare the antioxidant activities and functional contents of Korean conventional and Chinese seed gingers from the Jeollabuk-do Wanju and Chungcheongnam-do Seosan regions. Ginger samples were subjected to steaming treatments for different durations (2-8 h) at 121℃ using an autoclave. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring total polyphenol and flavonoid contents and ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities, while functional ingredient contents were analyzed for gingerols and shogaols. The results showed that Wanju conventional seed ginger (WO-2) had the highest total polyphenol (85.24 mg GAE/g) and flavonoid (98.14 RE/100 g) contents, surpassing that of the control in all steamed groups at 6 h. ABTS radical scavenging activity showed a strong correlation with total polyphenol and flavonoid contents. The control groups indicated that Korean conventional seed ginger had 1.0-1.3 times higher gingerol contents compared to Chinese seed ginger. Furthermore, the content of shogaols, considered major functional ingredients, increased significantly with longer steaming durations, reaching the highest content (1,793 mg/kg) at 8 h, which was 1.0-1.8 times higher in Korean conventional seed ginger than that in Chinese seed ginger. These experiments provide valuable data supporting the excellence of Korean conventional seed ginger in the future.

  • 최근 급격한 기후변화에 의한 이상가뭄 발생 등을 대비하기 위한 비상용수 또는 대체 수자원으로서의 지하수 개발수요가 증가함에 따라 기저유량 확보 및 수질개선 방안을 수립하는 것은 지속가능한 수자원 이용 관리 측면에 있어서 매우 중요하다. 국내 지하수 사용에 따른 하천유량의 변동에 관한 연구는 활발히 진행되었으나, 실질적으로 적용가능한 지하수 저감 방안 및 지하 수질개선방안에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 바이오차를 이용하여 시험포를 설계 및 시공하였으며, 실내 인공강우 실험을 통해 지하 침투수 확보 능력 및 수질개선 효과를 평가하였다. 대조구는 폭 1 m × 길이 1 m × 깊이 0.60 m로 시공하였으며, 바이오차 시험포는 폭 1 m × 길이 1 m, 시험포 상단과 하단 각 0.10 m씩 대조구와 동일한 흙으로 채웠으며, 그 사이 0.40 m만큼은 바이오차를 채워서 시공하였다. 시험의 정밀도를 높이기 위해 동일한 조건으로 대조구와 바이오차 시험포 각 2개씩, 총 4개의 시험포를 시공하여 실내 인공강우 실험을 진행하였으며, 시험포에서 발생한 직접유출수와 기저유출수를 이용하여 바이오차의 지하 침투량 확보 및 수질개선효과를 분석하였다. 시험포 완공 후 총 2번의 실내인공강우 실험 결과 대조구에서 발생한 직접유출량은 총 0.214 m3, 바이오차 시험포에서는 총 0.194 m3로 대조구 대비 총 직접유출량 저감효과는 9.4%로 나타났다. 기저유출의 경우 바이오차 시험포(0.036 m3)에서 대조구(0.003 m3) 대비 약13배 많은 양의 기저유출수가 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 각 시험포에서 발생한 유출수의 오염부하를 산정해 대조구 시험포 대비 바이오차 시험포에서 발생한 직접유출수의 오염부하 저감효과를 분석한 결과 BOD5 항목과 CODMn 항목, 그리고 TOC 항목의 경우 26.3%과 22.0%, 그리고 27.6%로 저감 된 것으로 나타났으나, SS 항목과 T-N 항목, 그리고 T-P 항목의 경우 저감효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 바이오차는 지하 침투수 확보 능력은 효과적인 것으로 나타났으나, 직접유출수의 수질개선 효과는 미비한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 바이오차의 지하 침투량 및 수질개선 효과는 바이오차 생산 시 사용된 열분해 방식, 사용된 바이오차의 양 등에 따라 편차가 클것으로 판단되며, 바이오차의 생산 방법, 토양 흡착 기간, 바이오차의 양 등 다양한 조건에서의 모니터링을 통해 정량화 되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

  • In manufacturing productivity analysis, understanding the intricate interplay among factors like facility performance, layout design, and workforce allocation within the production line is imperative. This paper introduces a simulation-based methodology tailored to food manufacturing, progressively expanding scenarios to analyze production enhancement. The target system is a food processing plant, encompassing production processes, including warehousing, processing, subdivision, packaging, inspection, loading, and storage. First, we analyze the target system and design a simulation model according to the actual layout arrangement of equipment and workers. Then, we validate the developed model reflecting the real data obtained from the target system, such as the workers' working time and the equipment's processing time. The proposed model aims to identify optimal factor values for productivity gains through incremental scenario comparisons. To this end, three stages of simulation experiments were conducted by extending the equipment and worker models of the subdivision and packaging processes. The simulation experiments have shown that productivity depends on the placement of skilled workers and the performance of the packaging machine. The proposed method in this study will offer combinations of factors for the specific production requirements and support optimal decision-making in the real-world field.

  • Objectives: To review studies evaluating effects of acupuncture on pain and depressive symptoms in fibromyalgia. Methods: Quantitative evidences (RCTs) were systematically reviewed. Literature were searched for a combination of fibromyalgia and depression (The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), EMBASE, medline (via PubMed), Kmbase, KISS, ScienceON, OASIS, CiNii, CNKI). Quantitative research findings were critically appraised by Cochrane risk of bias (RoB) tool and pooled. Meta-analysis was then conducted using Review Manager (RevMan) 5.4. Results: Eighteen studies were selected. American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for Fibromyalgia Syndrome was most frequently used as diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia. As for outcome measurement, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Total Effective Rate (TER) were used most commonly. Meta-analysis of ten studies revealed that both Depression and VAS scores of the Acupuncture+Western Medicine group were significantly lower than those of Western Medicine group (Depression: SMD, -0.94, 95% CI, -1.17 to -0.70; VAS: MD, -1.51, 95% CI, -1.83 to -1.19). Also, TERs of both Acupuncture group and Acupuncture+Western Acupuncture+Western Medicine group were significantly higher than those of the Western Medicine group (OR: 2.38, 95% CI: 1.29 to 4.41; and OR: 7.40, 95% CI: 3.41 to 16.07). There was no significant difference in Depression or VAS score between the Acupuncture Group and the Western Medicine Group. Conclusions: Acupuncture might be an effective option for pain and depressive symptoms of fibromyalgia when it is combined with Western Medicine treatment. For more accurate results, more types of Korean medicine treatment should be conducted.

  • Bordetella (B.) bronchiseptica, Mycoplasma (M.) cynos, and M. canis are the major bacterial pathogens that cause canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC). In this study, we developed a triplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (tqPCR) assay for the differential detection of these bacteria in a single reaction. The assay specifically amplified three bacterial genes with a detection limit of below 10 copies/reaction. The assay showed high repeatability and reproducibility, with coefficients of intra- and inter-assay variations of less than 1%. The diagnostic results of the assay using 94 clinical samples from household dogs with CIRDC clinical signs, the prevalence of B. bronchiseptica, M. cynos, and M. canis was 22.3%, 18.1%, and 20.2%, respectively, indicating that the diagnostic sensitivity was comparable to those of previously reported qPCR assays. The dual infection rate of B. bronchiseptica and M. cynos, B. bronchiseptica and M. canis, and M. cynos and M. canis was 5.3%, 7.4%, and 3.1%, respectively. Moreover, the triple infection rate of B. bronchiseptica, M. cynos, and M. canis was 2.1%. These results indicate that coinfections with B. bronchiseptica, M. cynos, and M. canis have frequently occurred in the Korean dog population. The newly developed tqPCR assay in the present study will be a useful tool for etiological and epidemiological studies on these three CIRDC-associated bacterial pathogens. The prevalence and coinfection data revealed through this study will contribute to expanding knowledge on the epidemiology of CIRDC in the recent Korean dog population.

  • 강우시 농경지와 축산시설로부터 유출되는 비점오염물질은 하류 수계의 수질과 수생태계에 악영향을 미친다. 이에 따라 환경부에서는 비점오염원관리지역을 지정하고 다양한 비점오염 저감 대책을 시행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비점오염원관리지역으로 지정된 안동댐 하류 중 송야천 유역을 대상으로 강우유출수 모니터링을 수행하였으며, 모니터링 결과를 바탕으로 강우시 비점오염물질 유출 특성을 분석하였다. 모니터링 기간은 2020년 6월부터 11월까지 총 5회의 강우사상에 대하여 상·하류와 유입하천을 포함한 총 8개의 모니터링 지점을 대상으로 강우사상별 유량가중평균농도(Event Mean Concentration, EMC), 오염부하, 단위면적당 오염부하를 산정하였으며, 오염원 그룹별 비점배출부하를 산정하여 오염 기여도를 분석하였다. 강우유출수 조사결과를 이용한 EMC 농도 산정 결과 유입하천인 오산천 지점이 SS와 TOC 항목을 제외한 모든 수질항목의 EMC 농도가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 단위면적당 오염부하를 산정하여 비교 분석한 결과 T-P 항목의 단위면적당 오염부하는 물한천 지점(0.69 kg/ha)과 오산천 지점(0.69 kg/ha)이 크게 나타났다. 결과와 같이 오산천 지점과 물한천 지점이 오염정도가 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 이에 따른 상류 오염원 현장 정밀조사를 수행하였다. 조사 결과 강우발생시 상류에 위치한 농경지와 축사에서 발생하는 오염원이 하천으로 유입되고 있었으며, 여러 축사에서 배출되고 있는 유입수를 채취하여 분석한 결과 T-P 농도가 평균 0.935 mg/L로 높게 나타났다. 전국오염원조사자료(국립환경과학원, 2017) 내용을 참조하여 송야천 유역의 오염원 그룹별 비점배출부하를 산정해 오염 기여도를 분석한 결과, T-P 항목의 경우 축산계와 토지계의 비점배출부하가 전체 비점배출부하의 약 63%와 37%를 차지해 비점배출부하 기여도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 송야천 유역의 경우 강우시 농경지와 축산시설에서 배출되는 오염물질이 하천 수질오염에 상당한 기여를 하고 있는 것으로 보여지며, 비점오염원 발생에 대한 대책 마련이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구 결과는 송야천 유역의 비점오염 저감 대책 수립을 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • 비점오염물질은 강우에 의해 유출되며 계절적, 자연적 편차가 크게 나타나고, 오염원이 광범위하게 산재하고 있어 오염물질의 발생량과 부하량의 관리가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 비점오염원 관리지역은 오염물질이 하천에 미치는 수질 특성을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나 수질항목만으로 하천의 수질 특성을 파악하기에는 어려움이 있으며, 수질 특성을 파악하기 위해 다양한 분석방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 비점오염원 관리지역 중 골지천 유역의 수질 특성을 파악하기 위해 통계분석 기법을 활용하여 수질항목간의 상관관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 2017년부터 2019년까지 골지천 유역 내 5개 지점에 대하여 비강우시 23회, 강우시 지점별 173회~196회의 모니터링 결과를 이용하였으며, EC, 탁도, BOD5, SS, T-N, T-P, TOC의 수질항목을 이용하여 Pearson 상관관계 분석을 실시하였다. 상관관계 분석 결과 비강우시 분석 결과 EC는 -0.06~-0.32, T-N은 0.19~0.37로 낮은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, EC와 T-N을 제외한 탁도와 BOD5, SS, T-P, TOC의 경우 서로 0.6 이상의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 탁도와 SS, T-P, T-P와 TOC는 0.9 이상의 높은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 강우시 분석 결과 EC는 비강우시와 유사하게 -0.07~-0.24로 낮은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, TOC를 제외한 탁도, BOD5, SS, T-N, T-P의 경우 서로 0.6 이상의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. TOC의 경우 BOD5, SS와 0.6 이상의 상관성을 갖는 반면 탁도, T-N, T-P와는 0.45, 0.44, 0.57로 다른 항목에 비해 다소 낮은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 비강우시 T-N은 기저 유출에 의한 영향으로 높은 농도를 나타내 다른 항목에 비해 상관성이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 강우시에는 비점오염물질의 유입으로 인하여 모든 항목에서 비슷한 상관성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과 탁도와 SS, T-P의 상관성이 비강우시 0.93, 강우시 0.78로 상당히 높은 것으로 나타나, 탁도를 측정하여 SS와 T-P로 환산하여 측정하는 방법에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 연구 유역의 지형적 특성이 배제되었기 때문에 추후에 이를 반영한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

  • The analytical method of extracting compounds from human blood to examine accumulated organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) has been widely used the traditional liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) method and solid-phase extraction (SPE) method, yet these methods have certain limitations in purification and usafe of a large amount of sample. In order to overcome the se problems reside in these, solid-phase microextraction (SPME), known as a highly efficient extration method with less samples and relatively simple, was employed to collect 18 different kinds of OCPs in blood as extraction method in this study. To optimize extraction method, we examine various experimental SPME-parameters such as adsorption (fiber type, adsorption time, adsorption temperature, salting out effect), and desorption (desorption time, desorption temperature etc.). From the experimental results, the optimal conditions are as follows: fiber was polyacrylate with $85{\mu}m$, adsorption time was for 5 min, adsorption optimum temperature was at $280^{\circ}C$, and salting out effect was NaCl with 0.1 g. MDL, precision and accuracy was in the ranges of 0.05~0.20 ng/mL, 5.59~13.39%, respedively, and accuracy was -0.5% ~24.5% for all OCPs.
