본 연구는 지역주민들의 가족관련 욕구가 무엇인지 파악하고, 대상특성별 욕구의 차이를 발견하여 이를 토대로 차별화된 가족지원사업이 이루어지도록 기초자료를 제공하고자 지역주민을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 지역주민의 가정내 관심사는 '가족관계의 문제' 보다도 '자녀교육 및 양육의 어려움'이 주된 관심사로 나타나, 전체주민을 위한 가족지원센터에서의 지원이 가정내 자녀양육에 있어서의 교육적인 면에서나 경제적인 면에서의 어려움을 경감시키는 데 초점이 맞춰져야 할 것으로 보인다. 다음으로 가족의 욕구에 부응하는 가족지원센터의 존재에 대해 인식정도가 높은 반면, 실질적인 이용률은 매우 낮았으며, 이용주민들도 조손가구나 한부모가구, 다문화가구 등 특수한 가족욕구를 지닌 경우에 이용하는 비율이 높아 일반가정을 대상으로 한 서비스기관의 홍보가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 지역주민의 특성별로 가족욕구에 차이가 나타났는데, 성별, 연령대, 학력수준, 가족형태, 직업군, 소득수준에 따라 필요로 하는 서비스프로그램에 차이가 나타나 이를 반영한 차별적인 서비스접근이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Backgrounds: Multidisciplinary approaches including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are currently being performed to target various cancers in Western Medicine. However, some cancers still remain difficult to battle, which has long attracted many scientists for the discovery of new agents to fight cancers. Ginseng is one of the herbs used in Oriental Medicine including Korea, China and Japan. We have further investigated ginseng for its anticancer effect. Objective: This is a comprehensive review summary of anticancer effect of ginseng and ginsenoids as a possible agent for future cancer treatment. Methods: Data were retrieved from two web sites; www.pubmed.com and www.riss.kr, and authorized texts concerning anticancer effects of ginseng. From collected data, information on anticancer effect of ginseng was thoroughly sorted, restructured, then assessed. Results: Panax Ginseng C.A. Meyer belongs to Araliaceae Panax family, a perennial prairie plant with its root known as Ginseng Radix. Ginseng induces anticancer effect through cell cycle arrest, acceleration of apoptosis, anti-angiogenesis, and suppression of metastasis. Anticancer effect of ginseng may be due to single compound or multi-compound actions. Many studies report involvement of immune mechanisms of cytokines, Natural Killer (NK) cells, macrophages and some antibodies in enhancing anticancer effect of ginseng. In near future, possibility of applying these mechanisms into clinical trials is convinced. There were some important findings on saponin in ginsenoids in reviewing for this article; First, eradication of metastatic tumors were influenced by macrophage activation. Second, suppression of malignant melanoma cell metastasis to lung were induced by macrophage and NK cell activation in spleen with red ginseng acidic polysaccharide (RGAP). Third, final metabolites of M1, M4 had exerted anticancer effect of ginseng. Conclusion: Unknown anticancer mechanisms of ginseng have been studied for many years up until now. Ginseng is comprised of multiple bio-chemical compounds that create complex pharmaceutical interactions. Therefore, for its proper usage and safe prescription, studies on different types of ginseng and patients' susceptibility to ginseng according to their constitution and stages of the disease should be further pursued. More efforts are needed to understand the anticancer mechanisms of ginseng as well.

This study researches age of discretion and lifestyles for aged women consumers and examines their social and psychologically recognized age of discretion and the difference in shopping orientation on fashion. Also it is purposed to support implications for marketing strategy on fashion market for the aged. A survey was carried out regarding the consumers of the new elderly generation aged 55 and above. 561 respondents were surveyed, residing in Seoul and Metropolitan areas. Factor analysis, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, K-average community and multivariate analysis, multi-recurrence and crossing analysis($X^2$ verified) were used for statistical analysis. In conclusion, first, people in their 70s to 80s perceive their age 20 to 30 years younger than their real age. Second, appearance-oriented and high technology-oriented were the most highlighted lifestyles as to the study of the vital statistical, related to the lifestyle in correspondence to the real-age and the cognitive age. Third, people who feel older than they actually are in terms of shopping orientation were less likely to shop depending on their mood. Throughout the results, there is no doubt that people in the elderly generation is a main target within marketing trends in the elderly generation industry. A research based on comparison between the male and the female consumers in the elderly generation is considered to be very meaningful.

The three-dimensional measurement method of confocal systems is a spot scanning method which has a high resolution and good illumination efficiency. However, conventional confocal systems had a weak point in that it has to perform XY axis scanning to achieve FOV (Field of View) vision through spot scanning. There are some methods to improve this problem involving the use of a galvano mirror [1], pin-hole array, etc. Therefore, in this paper we propose a method to improve a parallel mode confocal system using a micro-lens and pin-hole array in a dual microscope configuration. We made an area scan possible by using a combination MLA (Micro Lens Array) and pin-hole array, and used an objective lens to improve the light transmittance and signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, we made it possible to change the objective lens so that it is possible to select a lens considering the reflection characteristic of the measuring object and proper magnification. We did an experiment using 5X, 2.3X objective lens, and did a calibration of height using a VLSI calibration target.

EVs manufacturers typically target a range of 300 km on a fully charged battery. Many studies have been conducted to improve these disadvantages. As a results, the mileage of EVs is expected to increase significantly. However, as the distance traveled by EVs increases, current test method (SCT) have many difficulties. The biggest problem is that it takes a lot of time to test an EVs and greatly increases the error rate during the test period. In order to solve these problems, this paper discusses the fuel economy test method of EVs for energy efficiency and mileage. The comparison of test methods was achieved by chassis dynamometer test about EVs. These review of test methods are intended to both improve testing efficiency and provide a practical testing methodology that can be easily adapted to accommodate future testing enhancements. In conclusion, the results of MCT mode and SCT mode comparison show similar results within 3 %, confirming that the test method is appropriate. Also, as the CSCM distance becomes shorter in the MCT mode, the mileage becomes longer and the fuel economy becomes lower. As a result, the error from the SCT test results is expected to increase. In order to minimize the error of SCT measurement fuel economy, it is recommended to maximize the CSCM driving distance. However, since the timing of the EOT is not clearly known, it is reasonable to define the allowable range of the CSCE to be within 20 % of the MCT total mileage.

This work presents a comparison of three performance-based seismic design methods (PBSD) as applied to plane steel frames having eccentric braces (EBFs) and buckling restrained braces (BRBFs). The first method uses equivalent modal damping ratios (ξ_k), referring to an equivalent multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) linear system, which retains the mass, the elastic stiffness and responds in the same way as the original non-linear MDOF system. The second method employs modal strength reduction factors (${\bar{q}}_k$) resulting from the corresponding modal damping ratios. Contrary to the behavior factors of code based design methods, both ξ_k and ${\bar{q}}_k$ account for the first few modes of significance and incorporate target deformation metrics like inter-storey drift ratio (IDR) and local ductility as well as structural characteristics like structural natural period, and soil types. Explicit empirical expressions of ξ_k and ${\bar{q}}_k$, recently presented by the present authors elsewhere, are also provided here for reasons of completeness and easy reference. The third method, developed here by the authors, is based on a hybrid force/displacement (HFD) seismic design scheme, since it combines the force-base design (FBD) method with the displacement-based design (DBD) method. According to this method, seismic design is accomplished by using a behavior factor (q_h), empirically expressed in terms of the global ductility of the frame, which takes into account both non-structural and structural deformation metrics. These expressions for q_h are obtained through extensive parametric studies involving non-linear dynamic analysis (NLDA) of 98 frames, subjected to 100 far-fault ground motions that correspond to four soil types of Eurocode 8. Furthermore, these factors can be used in conjunction with an elastic acceleration design spectrum for seismic design purposes. Finally, a comparison among the above three seismic design methods and the Eurocode 8 method is conducted with the aid of non-linear dynamic analyses via representative numerical examples, involving plane steel EBFs and BRBFs.

Background: The current study investigated the effects of Piper longumine on radio-sensitization of human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and underlying mechanisms. Materials and Methods: Human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in vitro and those in logarithmic growth phase were selected for experiments divided into four groups: control, X-ray exposed, Piper longumine, and Piper longumine combined with X-rays. Conogenic assays were performed to determine the radio-sensitizing effects. Cell survival curves were fitted by single-hit multi-target model and then the survival fraction (SF), average lethal dose ($D_0$), quasi-threshold dose ($D_q$) and sensitive enhancement ratio (SER) were calculated. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM). Western blot assays were employed for expression of apoptosis-related proteins (Bc1-2 and Bax) after treatment with Piper longumine and/or X-ray radiation. The intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was detected by FCM with a DCFH-DA probe. Results: The cloning formation capacity was decreased in the group of piperlongumine plus radiation, which displayed the values of SF2, D0, Dq significantly lower than those of radiation alone group and the sensitive enhancement ratio (SER) of D0 was1.22 and 1.29, respectively. The cell apoptosis rate was increased by the combination treatment of Piper longumine and radiation. Piper longumine increased the radiation-induced intracellular levels of ROS. Compared with the control group and individual group, the combination group demonstrated significantly decreased expression of Bcl-2 with increased Bax. Conclusions: Piper longumine at a non-cytotoxic concentration can enhance the radio-sensitivity of MDA-MB-231cells, which may be related to its regulation of apoptosis-related protein expression and the increase of intracellular ROS level, thus increasing radiation-induced apoptosis.

ADS-B (automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast)는 차세대 항행시스템 CNS/ATM (communication, navigation and surveillance/air traffic management)의 핵심기술로 위성항법시스템 정보를 이용하여 자신의 위치 정보를 자동으로 방송하며, 기존 레이더 시스템에 비해 지형에 의한 제약이 적고 갱신 속도가 빠르다는 장점을 가지고 있다. EUROCONTROL에서는 항공관제시스템에서 ADS-B 메시지를 교환하기 위하여 표준 감시자료 포맷 ASTERIX (all purpose structured eurocontrol surveillance information exchange) CAT.021을 정의하였다. 그러나 ASTERIX CAT.021은 업데이트 주기가 빠르고 이전 버전과 호환이 되지 않는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 ASTERIX CAT.021의 버전과 관계없이 효율적으로 메시지를 처리하는 모듈을 설계 및 구현하였다. 구현 모듈은 네트워크로부터 수신한 메시지를 수집하여 패턴을 생성하고, 이후 수신 메시지는 패턴에 따라 정의된 루틴으로 처리한다.
