  • Recycling is receiving increasing social attention today as our nation begins to grapple with the significant problems caused by huge amount of municipal solid waste. The topic of recycling is not simple but extremely complicated. This study attempts to provide basic data and policy options for expanding and improving separated collection and recycling in public residential areas, through three case study of apartment housing areas in Taegu Metropolitan City. The main results of this study are summarized as follows. For the significant period of time, all three case areas had in common the extreme difficulty in establishing and operating the system of connecting public participation, collection and storage, transportation, and actual recycling of materials because of a variety of problems involved in this process. Both amounts of and prices for collected materials fluctuated considerably over time mainly due to monthly changes in recyclable home materials and the dynamic nature of recycling markets. Public questionnaire survey revealed the very high level of participation in separated collection, not only because almost all respondents well understood the necessity and importance of recycling, but because they also knew how to do separated collection. But overall activities were rated low and most respondents suggested the enlargement of public participation, the improvement of collection and storage facilities, and collection transportation networks. In particular, most respondents had little experience of using recycled Products and used mainly reproduced soap and bathroom tissue. Furthermore, they were considerably unsatisfied with low variety and quality of recycled products, their high prices and low availability in the market. Finally potential policy options and activities for improving separated collection and recycling are suggested.

  • Ship design engineering refers to the development and design of shipbuilding architectures in a drawing which reflects all relevant manufacturing processes. This paper provides analysis methods for model-information interfaces between hull structure design and outfitting design, and a technical application for manufacturing phases reflecting the pipe support pad and angle item automatically. The existing information procedure of pipe support pad and angle system processes information using drawing without model specification. Outfitting design team directly distributes drawings to the shop floor then manual-based marking and installation work are conducted refer to the distributed drawings. As a result, this process has become time consuming and causes problems in the productivity and quality improvement due to the rework caused by omitted or incorrect marking. The pipe support pad and angle marking is a method that automatically updates model information to hull structure design using sets of data that analyse the generated model in outfitting design processes. Therefore, this approach provides an efficient solution through design references without manual activities such as a reflection of hull structure design, cutting process, numerical control work, and dimension measurement and marking. The conversion of a method from the existing procedure based on manual marking to the reflective and automatic approach would have enabled to proceed installation work without manual activities for the measurement. Therefore, this research study proposes an efficient approach using pre-data analysis of model information interfaces between design and manufacturing phases to improve productivity during construction for shipbuilding.

  • The bacterial number, extracellular enzyme activities and structure of bacterial community which are major constituent of aquatic ecosystem within the artificial vegetation island (AVI) were compared to those of the nearby pelagic lake waters in order to evaluate the possibility of the AVI as a eco-technological measure for water quality improvement and restoration of littoral zone in man-made reservoirs. There was not a significant difference in the total number of bacteria, but the number of active (viable) bacteria within the AVI was about 0.7 to 4.1 times higher than nearby pelagic lake water. The ratio of the number of active bacteria versus the total number of bacteria was also higher in the AVI than nearby pelagic lake water. The activities of ${\beta}$-glucosidase and phosphatase were 1.0 to 13.1 and 0.8 to 7.3 times higher respectively in the AVI than nearby pelagic lake water, showing that microorganisms were more active within the AVI. The bacterial communities of the two waters, examined by FISH method, did not indicate a clear difference in the springtime when the growth of macrophytes was immature, but during summer and fall it showed a clear difference indicating the formation of distinct bacterial community within the AVI compared to nearby lake water. From the results of this study, we conclude that AVI can contribute to make up the littoral ecosystem which show rapid cycling of matters through active detritus food chain in the dam reservoirs which have unstable aquatic ecosystem due to short hydraulic residence time and to strengthen the self-purification capacity of the lake.

  • 오늘 날 노인들은 60세 전후로 정년을 하고도 30~40년을 더 살아야 한다. 노인성 질환과 싸워나가야 하는 노인들의 삶의 질은 미래의 잠재적 노인인 우리 모두의 절실한 관심사가 아닐 수 없다.. 평균수명의 연장이 재앙이 아니라 축복이 되기 위해서는 노인문제에 대한 올바른 인식과 정부나 지자체의 노력이 지속적으로 이어져야 한다. 특히 고령 노인들 중 독거노인들이 증가하고 있다. 노인이 홀로 산다 해도 사회적으로 고립되지 않고 다양한 생활지원을 받으면서 생활해갈 수 있는 사회의 실현이 요구된다. 사회적 고립을 방지하는 활동을 포함하여 독거고령자의 생활지원을 할 경우에도 동거자가 있는 노인에 대한 경우와는 다른 어려움이 있다고 생각된다. 이 연구에서는 독거노인에 대한 지원정책의 현황을 검토하고 문제점을 파악하여 법제도적인 지원방안을 마련하고자 하였다.

  • This study was conducted to improve the antioxidative activity of instant noodles containing enzymatic extracts from Ecklonia cava (EEC). EEC has relatively better antioxidative activity than extracts from other indigenous plants in Jeju Island. The EEC (2.5 mg/mL) had 82.5% for the hydroxy radical, 78.4% for the DPPH radical, and 64.9% for the superoxide anion radical scavenging activities, and 65.2% for the cell viability (100 ${\mu}g/mL$). According to the texture of the dough, the DPPH free radical scavenging of uncooked instant noodles, sensory evaluation of cooked instant noodles, and turbidity of the cooking drip, the optimal EEC concentration was 1.8% for the instant noodles. The major amino acids in the instant noodles with EEC were glutamic acid (24.2%), proline (10.2%), valine (10.0%), and isoleucine (12.3%). The zinc and iron in the instant noodles were enhanced by adding 1.5-1.8% EEC. The antioxidant activity of instant noodles with EEC was 75.4% for the hydroxy radical, 74.1% for the DPPH radical, and 51.2 % for the superoxide anion radical scavenging activities.

  • Purpose: By identifying the actual profile of emergency medical personnel's pre-admission infection control practices, this study intended to provide a basic reference material for the improvement and reorientation of pre-admission infection control measures, and thereby help establish an effective plan for pre-admission infection control activities. Methods: Total 119 EMT's working for Jeollabuk-do Provincial Fire Defense HQ were asked to join a structured questionnaire survey from June to August 2006. Results: 1. It was found that 56.1% respondents answered no guideline available on the prevention of infection. Out of our rescue brigade members who knew about relevant guideline available, 34.2% respondents answered that their department conducted quality control program for the guideline. 2. For protective outfit in emergency practice, it was found that most respondents put on gloves or nothing at all(38%), which was followed by sterile gloves(29.2%), disposable mask(26.9%), gown(4.3%) and protective goggle(1.6%). And it was noted that all respondents(100%) washed out any clothing contaminated with somatic secretion on their own. 3. For a question about any experience in emergency activities exposed to infectious diseases, it was found that most of all respondents(77.9%) answered 'No', which was followed by 'Don't Know'(18.6%) and Yes(3.9 %). 4. For a question about any experience in inquiring of patients about infectious diseases, it was found that most respondents(49.4%) answered 'Yes' and 'Sometimes'(9.1%). It was noted that 20.2% respondents had extra medical examination in medical institution in terms of whether they were exposed to infectious diseases, apart from regular medical examination. Conclusions: In order to protect 119 EMT's from infectious diseases, it will be necessary to acquire emergency medical staffs specializing in infection control and organize corresponding personnel training units to keep providing reorientation and evaluation. In addition, it will be also necessary to supply them with a full set personal protection apparatuses and other equipments required for disinfection and sterilization.

  • Objectives : Bojungikgitang (BJT), the Oriental medical prescription has been traditionally used about improvement of immune response and infective disease at Asian nation. In this study, we has compared about the anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects on BJT of three countries including Korea (Korean Traditional Medicine, KTM), China (Traditional Chinese Medicine, CTM) and Japan (Japanese Traditional Medicine, JTM). Methods : We has basically using LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The expression of these inflammatory mediators has measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Also, free radical scavenging assay has tested for anti-oxidative activity as well as the contents of total flavonoid and polyphenol. Results : As a result, we were founded the inhibitory effects of BJT (KTM, CTM, JTM) on LPS-induced production of NO, TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6 as well as the anti-oxidative activities. Especially the KTM was most effective in anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities. Conclusions : These results indicate that BJT (KTM, CTM, JTM) has a good anti- inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects. But, there were degree of effects on between pharmacopoeia of the countries. Thus, further study is required that find appropriate methods for extracting as well as establish of standardized processes in order to improve the quality of BJT (KTM, CTM, JTM) as an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative agent for treatment of inflammatory diseases.

  • D530c는 cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector가 심장을 중심으로 배열되어 회전 없이 짧은 시간에 검사가 가능하며 높은 해상도의 영상획득이 가능하다. 하지만 이러한 구조적 특성으로 인해 환자의 움직임에 민감하며, 검사 결과에도 일부분 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 D530c에서 검사 중 발생되는 환자의 움직임 감소 활동을 통해 영상 품질의 최적화를 목적으로 한다. 환자의 다양한 움직임 원인을 분석하여 호흡보정 도구 제작, 환자의 호흡 및 움직임에 관한 주의사항 교육 등의 개선활동을 시행하였다. 개선 전 대상으로 2016년 11월에 D530c에서 심근관류 SPECT를 시행한 환자 70명을 선정하였고, 개선 후 2017년 2월 14일부터 2017년 2월 21일까지 시행한 환자 70명을 대상으로 하였다. 검사 시작 전 위치에서 X, Y, Z 축으로 이동된 심장의 변동거리(4 mm, 8 mm, 12 mm 이상)별 움직임 발생시간을 측정하여 개선 전 후 Stress와 Rest 영상을 각각 비교 분석하였다. 개선활동 후 심장의 움직임 발생시간이 stress와 rest 영상에서 모두 감소되었으며, 특히 stress 영상에서 12 mm 이상의 큰 움직임 발생횟수가 0회(발생시간 0초)로 기록되었다. 심장의 위치가 X축으로 4 mm, 8 mm 변동된 발생시간과 Z축으로 8 mm 변동된 발생시간은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었지만(p<0.005), 그 외 stress와 rest의 모든 구간의 발생시간은 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.005). 호흡에 의해서도 발생 가능한 4 mm 변동거리에 따른 움직임 발생시간의 감소는 교육 및 움직임 방지 도구를 통해 검사 중 환자의 호흡이 보정된 결과로 파악되며, 호흡 이외의 환자의 실제 움직임으로 발생되었을 것으로 예상되는 8 mm, 12 mm 이상의 변동거리에 따른 움직임 발생시간 감소를 통해 영상 품질의 향상을 가져올 것으로 예상된다.

  • 일반적으로 화장품에는 제품의 보존성을 향상시키는 것을 목적으로, 파라옥시안식향산에스텔(paraben, 파라벤), 이미다졸리 디닐우레아, 페녹시에탄올, 클로로페네신 등의 화학 방부제가 배합되어 있다. 화학 방부제는 제형의 안정성 및 방부 유효성이 우수하지만, 독성, 피부자극, 알러지를 유발하는 등의 단점이 있어 배합량을 줄이거나 배제하고도 제품의 안정성 및 유효성이 높은 보존 기술이 요구된다. 종래부터 글리세린, 1,3-부틸렌글리콜(BG), 프로필렌글리콜(PG), 디프로필렌글리콜(DPG) 등의 폴리올류들은 보습성분 및 용매로 범용되고 있으며, 고농도로 사용할 경우 항균력이 있지만, 사용성을 떨어뜨리고, 피부 자극을 유발하는 등 제품의 성능을 저하시키는 문제점이 있었다. 본 연구의 목적은 폴리올류의 조성별 항균, 방부력 영향을 평가하고, 스킨케어 유화제형에서 방부제 함량을 감소시킬 수 있는 폴리올 조성을 도출하여 방부제의 사용량을 감소시키고, 사용성 및 안정성도 개선하는 것이다. 범용적으로 사용되는 폴리올류의 항균 증가력을 측정한 결과 글리세린의 항균 증가력은 미미한 반면 BG, PG의 영향력은 유의(p < 0.05) 하였다. S. aureus를 대상으로 화학 방부제의 항균력 증가를 측정하고 상관성을 회귀분석한 결과 폴리올 1 %를 증량할 때 PG는 $2.1{\sim}8.4 %$, BG는 $1.8{\sim}8.4 %$ 방부제의 항균력을 증가시킬 것으로 추정되었다. 로션, 크림 등 유화제품에서 폴리올에 의한 방부력 증가율을 측정한 결과 글리세린의 경우 5 %까지 함량을 증가시켜도 방부력이 증진되지 않았으며, BG 및 PG는 $5.5{\sim}9.9 %$ 증가할 때 40 % 이상까지 방부력을 증가시켰다. 이상의 폴리올의 항균, 방부 영향력 측정으로 유화 제품에서 폴리올 배합을 조정하여 방부제 사용량을 40 %까지 감소시키고 사용성과 안전성 그리고 제품의 안정성을 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였고, paraben-free, 저방부, 무방부 시스템 도입시 베이스 처방의 기준으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
