The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of Lactobacillus, cellulase, and molasses on chemical composition, fermentation qualities, and microorganism count of sugarcane bagasse silage after 30-days fermentation. The treatments were arranged according to a factorial arrangement (2 × 2 × 2) + 1, in a complete randomized design. The first factor consisted of two levels of Lactobacillus casei TH14 (TH14, 0 and 0.05 g/kg fresh matter; the second factor consisted of two levels of cellulase enzyme (C, 0 and 10⁴ U/kg fresh matter); and the third factor consisted of two levels of molasses (M, 0 and 5 g/ 100 mL distilled water). A treatment (+1) referred to the use of rice straw without any treatments. The result showed that dry matter increased by 4% and neutral detergent fiber decreased by 2% of sugarcane bagasse when ensiled as a combination of additives as compared to untreated sugarcane bagasse. The pH and ammonia nitrogen were significantly dropped to 3.5 and 2.3 g/kg dry matter. Furthermore, lactic acid was increased by 64% when compared to untreated sugarcane bagasse, respectively. Lactic acid bacteria count was increased by 28% as compared to untreated sugarcane bagasse. Based on this experiment, fermenting with L. casei TH14, cellulase, and molasses in combination resulted in the promotion of the best qualities of sugarcane bagasse silage.

Purpose: This study was a prospective longitudinal study to identify changes in quality of life in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It was based on Roy's adaptation model. Methods: The questionnaires were administered before HSCT, 30 and 100 days after HSCT. Of the 48 potentially eligible patients, 44 (91.7%) participated in the study and 40 (90.9%) completed the questionnaires at 100 days after HSCT. Multilevel analysis was applied to analyze changes in quality of life. Results: Overall, quality of life showed a decreasing tendency from pre-HSCT to 100 days after HSCT. The adaptation level of participants was compensatory. Type of conditioning was the significant factor influencing quality of life before HSCT (${\beta}_{00}$=79.92, p <.001; ${\beta}_{01}$= - 12.64, p <.001) and the change rate of quality of life (${\beta}_{10}$= - 1.66, p =.020; ${\beta}_{11}$=2.88, p =.014). Symptom severity (${\beta}_{20}$= - 1.81, p =.004), depression (${\beta}_{30}$= - 0.58, p =.001), social dependency (${\beta}_{40}$= - 0.35, p =.165), and loneliness (${\beta}_{50}$= - 0.23, p =.065) had a negative effect on changes in quality of life. Symptom severity and depression were statistically significant factors influencing changes in quality of life. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the development of nursing intervention is needed to improve quality of life in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the early immune reconstruction period. The interventions should include programs to enhance coping capacity and programs to help control symptom severity and depression. Also these interventions need to be started from the beginning of HSCT and a multidisciplinary approach would be helpful.

Purpose: This study examined the impact of adolescents' dietary behavior on their quality of life using the nutrition quotient for adolescents (NQ-A) for some high school students in Seoul. Methods: The subjects were 176 high school students living in Seoul. The NQ-A was used to assess the dietary quality, and the quality of life was assessed by categorizing it into life satisfaction, environment, health, participation and safety, leisure activities, and emotional factors using survey questions validated through previous studies. Results: The NQ score of the survey subjects was 49.30 points. Based on the NQ scores, 7.4%, 46.6%, and 46.0% of participants were categorized as the 'high', 'medium', and 'low' groups, respectively. The total NQ score and balance, diversity, and practice factor scores were positively correlated with life satisfaction, environment, health, participation and safety, and leisure activities among the quality of life subscales. Regression analysis showed that the total NQ score was positively associated with life satisfaction, health, leisure activities, and emotions; the moderation factor was negatively associated with life satisfaction and health. The balance factor was positively associated with the environmental factor. The practice factor was positively associated with health, leisure activities, and emotions, and the environment factor was negatively associated with emotions. Conclusion: These results show that adolescents' quality of life is closely related to their diet, so it is necessary to maintain a balanced and varied food intake and desirable eating behaviors to improve adolescents' quality of life. Furthermore, adolescents' quality of life is influenced by other factors. Therefore, further research is needed to assess the quality of life, including dietary factors, as well as physical, emotional, psychological, and social development.

The microwave dielectric properties of Ba(Mg$_{1}$3/Ta$_{2}$3/O$_3$-Ba(Co$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/O$_3$[BMT-BCN] ceramics were investigated. The specimens were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method with the sintering temperature of 15$25^{\circ}C$~1575$^{\circ}C$. It was found that Ba(Mg$_{1}$3/Ta$_{2}$3/O$_3$[BMT] and BCN formed a solid solution with complex perovskite structure. As increasing the mole fraction of BCN, dielectric constant increased while the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was changed from positive to negative value. The highest value of quality factor, Q$\times$f$_{0}$=138,205GHz, obtained in the 0.9BMT-0.1BCN ceramics sintered at 1575$^{\circ}C$. In the range of x$\geq$0.4, the dielectric constant was about 30. The 0.55BMT-0.45BCN ceramics sintered at 15$25^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours showed the microwave dielectric properties of $\varepsilon$$_{r}$=30.21, Q$\times$f$_{0}$=85,789GHz and $\tau$$_{f}$=2.9015ppm/$^{\circ}C$.EX>.

Purpose : This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between self-esteem and quality of life according to the job satisfaction occupational therapists, and to contribute to wards providing positive directions to improve the quality of work performed by the occupational therapists and their quality of life. Methods : A total of 118 occupational therapists working on site were surveyed during the study period, from April 8, 2019, to May 10, 2019. The collected data were expressed as frequency and percentage and were subjected to Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis using SPSS (Windows ver. 20.0). Results : First, the occupational therapists' job satisfaction job satisfaction averaged 3.20 points, with the highest chance of promotion among the lower factors, followed by the conservative level, the work itself, and interpersonal relationships. Second, the analysis of job satisfaction according to the general characteristics of the subjects revealed statistically significant differences with respect to age, marital status, highest education level, service period, average pay, and average working hours of the occupational therapists. Third, the sub-category of job satisfaction and self-respect showed the most positive correlation with the person-in-charge, and the sub-category of job satisfaction and the quality of life showed the most positive correlation with interpersonal relationships. This shows that higher job satisfaction increases the self-esteem and quality of life. Fourth, the significant task satisfaction sub-factor predictor for the self-esteem of the occupational therapists was the job itself, and the significant job satisfaction sub-factor predictor for quality of life was interpersonal relationships. Conclusion : The results of this study showed that among the sub-categories of job satisfaction of the occupational therapists, work itself and interpersonal relationships had the greatest effect on the self-esteem and quality of life of the occupational therapists.
