This study utilized the data from 2017, 2019 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey to analyze the factors influencing depression and suicidal ideation among single-person households. For the analysis, demographic and economic variables as well as health status/behavior variables were considered. Activity restriction (OR: 4.753, p-value: <.0001) and smoking status (OR: 2.013, p-value: 0.044) were significantly associated with depression, and in terms of suicidal ideation, household income (OR: 3.526, p-value: 0.043), subjective health status (OR: 2.945, p-value: 0.007), activity restriction (OR: 2.263, p-value: 0.003) and smoking status (OR: 2.000, p-value: 0.023) showed significant association. In this regard, single-person households are likely to experience psychological angst, and further experience mental problems due to socio-economic and physical crisis. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a social network system in the community to detect those in need and provide appropriate interventions to prevent harmful outcomes.

The spectrophotometric determination of Al(III) with thorin have been investigated. The optimum condition of pH, concentration of ligand and surfactant, and stability were evaluated. The thorin ligand offers selective separation of Al(III) from sample solution containing Fe(III), Ni(II), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II). Various surfactants were tested and Triton X-100 showed the best stability and the maximum absorbance in an aqueous solution of Al(III)-Thorin-Triton X-100 complex appears about 526 nm. The method was applied for the determination of Al(III) in mixed sample solution. Separation and preconcentration was performed with a short column filled with resorcinol-formaldehyde resin. Control of the pH during the column operation is essential because the adsorption capacities are very sensitive to change in pH. Their separation was carried out in 0.2 M acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution (pH 4.5) and 1.0 M $HNO_3$media.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition, in vitro DM degradability, ME and OMD of alfalfa-maize silage mixtures in comparison to pure maize and alfalfa silages, and to test the existence of associative effects of ensiling alfalfa forage with whole-crop maize using the in vitro gas production technique. Ensiling alfalfa with whole-crop maize had a significant (p<0.001) effect on chemical composition, pH, in vitro DM degradability, OMD and estimated ME values of mixtures. DM content of the resultant silages significantly increased with increasing proportion of whole-crop maize in the mixtures, whereas the pH value, crude protein (CP), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and ash contents of mixtures decreased due to the dilution effect of whole-crop maize which was low in CP, ADF and ash. The pH values of all alfalfa-maize silage mixtures were at the desired level for quality silage. Gas production of alfalfa-maize silage mixtures at all incubation times except 12 h increased with increasing proportion of whole-crop maize. When alfalfa was mixed with whole-crop maize in the ratio 40:60, ME and OMD values were significantly (p<0.001) higher than other silages. Maximum gas production ($A_{gas}$) ranged from 65.7 to 78.1 with alfalfa silage showing the lowest maximum gas production. The results obtained in this study clearly showed that maximum gas production increased with increased percentage of whole-crop maize in the silage mixtures (r = 0.940, p<0.001). It was concluded that ensiling alfalfa with whole-crop maize improved the pH, OMD and ME values. However, trials with animals are required to see how these differences in silage mixtures affect animal performance.

Vehicular communications have been receiving much attention in intelligent transport systems(ITS) by combining communication technology with automobile industries. In general, vehicular communication can be used for vehicle-to-vehicle(V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure( V2I) communication by adopting IEEE802.11p/1609 standard which is commonly known as wireless access in vehicular environment(WAVE). WAVE system transmits signal in 5.835~5.925 GHz frequency band with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) signaling. In this paper, after 32 bit processed the channel monitoring in MAC(Media Access Control) layer of WAVE system implemented according to IEEE 802.11p standard, data were received and we evaluated the performance, we built the test bed consisting of OBU(On Board Unit) in the real expressway. We transmitted WSM(WAVE Short Message) and received WSM between OBU wirelessly. And then, we calculated channel occupancy time per one frame and throughput, and evaluated the performance.

In this study, we surveyed 63 workers from October 10, 2016 to October 28, 2016, and analyzed the effect of education and training on job stress. Using IBM SPSS Statistics 20, factor analysis 32 items were used to derive 4 factors and the significance was verified as p = .000. First, The effects of workplace's OJT education on job training and job stress were found to have a significant effect on job stress relief. Second, the correlation between job stress and job stress showed that OJT education (p <.01, ${\beta}=.526$) and Off-JT education (p <.01, ${\beta}=.508$) were highly correlated with work stress. Third, the difference between work stresses according to career did not have statistically significant effect. More than 10 years of experience, less than 3 to 6 years were more sensitive to work stress. In this study, it is important to verify the effect of education and training on job stress.

A lectin with in-vitro anticancer activity against established human cancer cell lines has been purified by affinity chromatography on asialofetuin-linked amino activated silica beads from the tubers of Arisaema tortuosum, popularly known as Himalayan Cobra lily, a monocot plant from the family Araceae. The bound Arisaema tortuosum lectin (ATL) was eluted with glycine-HCl buffer, pH 2.5. ATL was effectively inhibited by asialofetuin, a complex desialylated serum glycoprotein as well as by N-acetyl-D-lactosamine, a disaccharide. It gave a single band corresponding to a subunit molecular weight of 13.5 kDa in SDS-PAGE, pH 8.8 both under reducing and non reducing conditions. When subjected to gel-filtration on Biogel P-200, it was found to have a molecular weight of 54 kDa, suggesting a homotetramer structure, in which individual polypeptides are not bound to each other with disulfide bonds. ATL is a glycoprotein with 0.9% carbohydrate content, stable up to $55^{\circ}C$ and at pH 2 to 10. The lectin had no requirement for divalent metal ions i.e. $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mn^{2+}$ for its activity. However, as reported for other monocot lectins, ATL gave multiple bands in isoelectric focusing and Native PAGE, pH 8.3. The lectin was found to inhibit in vitro proliferation of human cancer cell lines HT29, SiHa and OVCAR-5.

we investigated the effect of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) temperature on photoluminescence (PL) of 635 nm InGaP/InGaAlP multiple quantum well structure. RTA is performed with the quantum well structure with 5.5 nm of well width. The highest PL peak intensity is shown at 1 min. of RTA at $720^{\circ}C$ sample as 3 times higher as compared to the as-grown sample. The effect may be assigned to an expected reduction in number of nonradiative recombination centers in the quantum well.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing the quality of sleep in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy in the outpatient settings. The data were collected from 203 patients with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy in the outpatient settings at one tertiary hospital in B City. Stress, fatigue and depression were negatively correlated with quality of sleep (r=-.369, p=.001; r=-.565, p=.001; r=-.526, p=.001, respectively). Fatigue(${\beta}=-.387$, p<.001) was one of the biggest impact factors on quality of sleep which explained 31.6% of the variance of the sleep quality, followed by the experience of sleep disturbances prior to the diagnosis of breast cancer(${\beta}=-.178$, p<.002) and depression(${\beta}=-.231$, p<.004). In total, all of the antecedent variables explained significantly 37.4% of the variance of the sleep quality. Thus, in order to improve the quality of sleep, integrative nursing interventions need to be developed to reduce fatigue and depression among them, including an proactive system to screen out the patients with the experience of sleep disturbances prior to the diagnosis with breast cancer and to provide adequate pharmacological and/or non-pharmacological sleep interventions prior to the chemotherapy.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of pain, sleep, and depression on quality of life in elderly patients with chronic pain. The subjects of this study were 170 elderly aged over 65 years. Data collected from July 1 to September 30 in 2016 at local community center were analysed by multiple regression. As a result, the pain, sleep, depression and quality of life of elderly significant difference by general characteristics and pain-related characteristics. In addition, In this study, the positive correlation between sleep (.471, p<.001) and quality of life, and negative correlation between quality of life and each of pain (-.332, p<0.001) and depression (-.720, p<0.001) were presented. The factors affecting the quality of life of the elderly with chronic pain were subjective health status (${\beta}=.236$, p=.001), depression diagnosis (${\beta}=.123$, p=.048), and depression (${\beta}=-.526$, p<.001), and depression related factors were most influential factor. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of life of elderly people with chronic pain, nursing and management programs should be prepared to reduce depression and pain.
