BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine differences in weight control practices, beliefs, self-efficacy, and eating behaviors of weight class athletes according to weight control level. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Subjects were weight class athletes from colleges in Gyeong-gi Province. Subjects (n = 182) responded to a questionnaire assessing study variables by self-report, and data on 151 athletes were used for statistical analysis. Subjects were categorized into High vs. Normal Weight Loss (HWL, NWL) groups depending on weight control level. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANCOVA, x²-test, and multiple logistic regressions. RESULTS: Seventy-three percent of subjects were in the HWL group. The two groups showed significant differences in weight control practices such as frequency (P < 0.01), duration and magnitude of weight loss, methods, and satisfaction with weight control (P < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression showed that self-efficacy (OR: 0.846, 95% CI: 0.730, 0.980), eating behaviors during training period (OR: 1.285, 95% CI: 1.112, 1.485), and eating behaviors during the weight control period (OR: 0.731, 95% CI: 0.620, 0.863) were associated with weight control level. Compared to NWL athletes, HWL athletes agreed more strongly on the disadvantages of rapid weight loss (P < 0.05 - P < 0.01), perceived less confidence in controlling overeating after matches (P < 0.001), and making weight within their weight class (P < 0.05). HWL athletes showed more inappropriate eating behaviors than NWL athletes, especially during the weight control period (P < 0.05 - P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Self-efficacy was lower and eating behaviors during pre-competition period were more inadequate in HWL athletes. Education programs should include strategies to help athletes apply appropriate methods for weight control, increase self-efficacy, and adopt desirable eating behaviors.

EAF dust 처리를 위해 RAPID system으로 명명된 Extended Arc Plasma Furnace 공정개발의 기초자료를 확보하기 위해서 EAF dust 처리공정의 초기반응 단계에서 코크스에 의한 EAF dust의 고욘열적거동을 조사하였다. 실험조건은 반응기내의 온도를 1000, 1100, 1200 및 130$0^{\circ}C$로 변화시키고, 각각의 반응온도에 대해서 반응시간이 3, 5, 8 및 12분인 경우에 석회석의 소성, EAF dust 자체의 열분해, EAF dust 혼합시료의 환원 및 휘발거동을 파악하였다. RAPID system에서 EAF dust의 용융 및 환원에 적합한 탄소환원 당량 180%와 염기도 1.7를 고려하여 혼합시료(EAF dust: 코크스 : 석회석=80:10:10 wt%)를 제조하였으며, 각 시료의 크기는 약 0.1mm 이하로써 입도분포는 200 mesh 이하가 80%를 나타내고 있다. 석회석의 소성은 $1100^{\circ}C$이상에서 3분이내에 완결되었으며, EAF dust 자체를 열분해시켰을 경우 $1300^{\circ}C$ 및 12분인 경우에 약 14%의 무게감량이 일어났고, 일부 입자들의 부분적인 소결 및 용융현상이 관찰되었다. EAF dust 혼합시료는 초기 반응단계에서 반응온도 및 반응시간이 증가함에 따라서 무게 감량폭이 더 증가하였으며, $1300^{\circ}C$ 및 12분인 경우에 46%이 무게감량이 일어났다 이와 같이 EAF dust의 휘발 및 환원 거동에 관련된 무게감량 정보는 공정내에서 EAF dust의 처리시간을 결정하여 주고 궁극적으로 대용량의 전기로 분진처리 공정 설계시 전기로 분진의 처리량을 결정하는 주요인자중의 하나로써 사용될 수 있다.

Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for sustained weight reduction, and it can result in substantial improvements in the severity of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and quality of life. However, sleeve gastrectomy, a weight loss surgery that removes two-thirds of the stomach, reduces appetite and nutrient absorption, impairing digestion and the absorption of nutrients like iron, vitamin B₁₂, and protein-bound nutrients. This case study aims to demonstrate that patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy require long-term and periodic monitoring of biochemical data, weight changes, and caloric and protein intake by a professional nutritionist to prevent malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies. In this case study, a 48-year-old woman was diagnosed with morbid obesity, hypertension, sleep apnea syndrome, and chronic gastritis. At initial evaluation, she was 160 cm tall and weighed 89 kg, with a body mass index of 34.8 kg/m². At 1 postoperative year, she consumed 650 kcal and 25 g of protein per day, the percentage of excess weight loss was 141.1%, and body mass index was 21 kg/m². Compared to preoperative levels, calcium and folic acid levels did not decrease after 1 postoperative year, but hemoglobin, ferritin, and vitamin B₁₂ levels decreased. In conclusion, when patients experience rapid weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy, follow-up should be frequent and long. Dietary education should be conducted according to digestive symptoms, and oral nutritional supplements, including vitamins and minerals.

식이장애란 체형과 체중에 대해 과도한 집착과 왜곡된 인지를 가지면서 비정상적인 식사행동을 반복하고 그에 따른 신체적, 심리적 부작용을 나타내는 장애를 말하며, 대표적으로 신경성 식욕부진증 및 신경성 폭식증이 있으며, 그 외 폭식장애를 비롯한 달리 분류되지 않은 식이장애가 있다. 서구문화의 급속한 유입으로 인하여 1990년대 이후 우리나라에서도 식이장애의 발병율이 점차 증가하는 추세에 있으며 특히 청소년과 조기성년기 여성에게서 문제가 되고 있다. 비만 클리닉에 체중감량을 원해 내원하는 환자들은 식이장애에 대한 고위험군일 가능성이 있으며, 체중감량을 위한 과도한 식사제한은 자칫 식이장애를 유발할 수 있으므로 비만클리닉 임상의들이 식이장애에 대한 이해를 갖고 적절한 식이요법을 지도하는 것이 필요하다고 생각된다.

The rapid growth of mobile communication technology has provided the expansion of mobile internet services, particularly mobile realtime transaction takes much weight among mobile fields. There is an increasing demand for various mobile applications to process transactions in a mobile computing fields. Thus, During transmission in wireless networks a base station failure inevitably causes data loss of the base station buffer. It is required to compensate the loss for communication. The existing methods for a base station failure are not adequate because they all suffer from too much overhead and resolve only the link failure. In this paper, we study an efficient recovry systems for a mobile DBMS. We propose SLL (Segment Log List) that enables the mobile host to compensate data loss efficiently in the case of base station failure. In SLL, a base station deliveries an output information of data cells to a mobile host. when a base station fails, the mobile host can retransmit just next data cells. We also prove the efficiency of new method.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of storage temperature and time on the quality parameters of eggs from laying hens at peak production. A total of 576 eggs were obtained from Lohmann Light-Brown hens, which were collected 3 times when the hens were 26, 27, and 28 weeks old. The fresh eggs were collected and measured within 2 h of being laid. Samples of 48 eggs each were stored in chambers for 2, 5, or 10 d inside a refrigerator ($5^{\circ}C$), at room temperature ($21^{\circ}C$), and at a high temperature ($29^{\circ}C$). As the storage temperature and time increased, egg weight, percentage of albumen, Haugh unit (HU), and yolk color significantly (p<0.001) decreased. In addition, egg shell weight, shell percentage, and albumen weight significantly (p<0.001) decreased with storage time. Yolk weight, yolk percentage, and albumen pH significantly (p<0.001) increased with increasing storage temperature, and yolk pH significantly (p<0.001) increased with increasing storage time. When the storage temperature was increased to $29^{\circ}C$, egg weight loss dramatically increased from 1.74 to 3.67% at 5 and 10 d of storage time, respectively. With the exception of the $5^{\circ}C$ storage temperature, HU dramatically decreased according to storage time and temperature, decreasing from 91.3 to 72.63 at $21^{\circ}C$ and from 87.62 to 60.92 at $29^{\circ}C$ during 10 d of storage; however, this decline was not found at $5^{\circ}C$. A rapid increase in albumen alkalinity was observed even after just 2 d of storage regardless of the storage temperature. Interactions between storage time and temperature were significant (p<0.001) with respect to egg weight loss, egg shell weight and percentage, albumen weight and percentage, yolk weight and percentage, albumen and yolk pH, HU, and yolk color. The results of the current study indicated that eggs from laying hens at peak production had significant deterioration of internal quality with increasing storage temperature and time. The results suggest that egg weight loss, albumen pH, and HU are parameters that are greatly influenced by the storage temperature and time of eggs from hens at peak laying.

Weight loss ${\geq}5$ percent is sufficient to significantly reduce health risks for obese people; therefore, development of novel weight loss compounds with reduced toxicity is urgently required. After screening of natural compounds with anti-adipogenesis properties in 3T3-L1 cells, we determined that kahweol, a coffee-specific diterpene, inhibited adipogenesis. Kahweol reduced lipid accumulation and expression levels of adipogenesis and lipid accumulation-related factors. Levels of phosphorylated AKT and phosphorylated JAK2, that induce lipid accumulation, decreased in kahweol-treated cells. Particularly, kahweol treatment significantly increased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation. We revealed that depletion of AMPK alleviated reduction in lipid accumulation from kahweol treatment, suggesting that inhibition of lipid accumulation by kahweol is dependent on AMPK activation. We detected more rapid reduction in blood glucose levels in mice administrated kahweol than in control mice. We suggest that kahweol has anti-obesity effects and should be studied further for possible therapeutic applications.

Photocatalytic decomposition of polyethylene film with TiO₂ nanotube powders (NTs) was investigated under UV irradiation at ambient conditions. TiO₂ NTs composed of individual nanotubes are prepared by rapid breakdown anodization technique. A comparative study on the photocatalytic decomposition of polyethylene-TiO₂ composite films prepared using TiO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) or TiO₂ NTs (NTs), respectively, was conducted under UV irradiation. Polyethylene film incorporated with TiO₂ NTs showed 26 wt% weight loss after 200 h under UV irradiation about two times faster decomposition rate than TiO₂ NPs which is attributed to large surface area of TiO₂ NTs.
