The ocean contains around eighty elements of the periodic table and uranium is also one among them, with a uniform concentration of 3.3 ppb and a relative abundance factor of 23. With a large coastline, India has a large stake in exploiting the 4 billion tonnes of uranium locked in seawater. The development of radiation grafting techniques, which are useful in incorporating the required functional groups, has led to more efficient adsorbent preparations in various geometrical configurations. Separation based on a polymeric adsorbent is becoming an increasingly popular technique for the extraction of trace heavy metals from seawater. Radiation grafting has provided definite advantages over chemical grafting. Studies related to thermally bonded non woven porous polypropylene fiber sheet substrate characterization and parameters to incorporate specific groups such as acrylonitrile (AN) into polymer back bones have been investigated. The grafted polyacrylonitrile chains were chemically modified to convert acrylonitrile group into an amidoxime group, a chelating group responsible for heavy metal uptake from seawater/brine. The present work has been undertaken to concentrate heavy metal ions from lean solutions from constant potential sources only. A scheme was designed and developed for investigation of the recovery of heavy metal ions such as uranium and vanadium from seawater.

열처리로에 적용되는 소형 축열식 복사관 버너시스템에 사용될 축열기를 설계하고 그 성능을 평가하였다. 좁은 튜브간 간격을 갖는 U형 복사관에 축열기를 적용하기 위하여 상하단 단면적이 다른 축열기를 설계, 적용하였다. 구형축열체를 사용하는 2만kcal/hr급 축열기 설계에는 기존에 개발된 축열기 해석코드를 이용하였다. 실제 시스템에 적용하여 축열기 전후단의 온도 및 압력을 실시간으로 측정하였다. 그 결과를 축열기 해석코드로부터 얻은 배가스의 배출온도와 공기의 예열온도를 비교하였다. 이론적으로 예상된 성능은 80%의 온도효율과 70%의 배열회수율이 얻어졌으나, 실험적 결과로부터는 온도효율이 80%, 배열회수율이69％가 얻어졌다. 가장 큰 성능 차이는 배가스의 배출온도였는데, 이는 실제 시스템에서 열손실에 의한 축열기로의 배가스 유입온도 하락과 실제 운전에서의 공기/배가스 유량의 증가에 의해 기인된다고 판단된다.

최근 태풍이나 홍수 등과 같은 자연재해, 구조물 설계 오류 및 부실공사 등으로 인해 수변구조물(교량, 옹벽 등) 등에 피해가 늘어가고 있다. 이러한 수변 구조물들은 피해(균열, 파손, 붕괴)가 발생할 경우 수변 구조물뿐만 아니라 그에 따른 추가 피해들이 크게 발생한다. 구조물 손상에 따른 추가 피해로는 시설물의 사용 중단 및 제한, 인명피해, 경제적 손실 등이 있다. 이러한 피해(인명피해, 사용 중단 및 제한 등)를 사전에 방지하기 위해 손상이 발생할 경우 현장여건(온도, 강우, 수위 등)에 적합한 복구공법을 적용해야한다. 신속한 보수 보강을 시행하여 발생할 수 있는 물적 피해, 인적 피해 등과 같은 손실을 최소할 수 있다. 손상 및 재해(태풍, 홍수)에 의해 피해가 발생했을 경우 경과 시간에 따라 피해(인적, 물적)가 더욱 확산되므로 긴급복구가 더욱 중요하다. 긴급복구를 위해서는 손상에 따른 적절한 보수 보강이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 현장 복구사례(교량, 제방, 옹벽, 사면, 댐, 보)를 긴급복구공법 도출 시나리오에 적용하였으며 실제 사용된 복구공법과 비교하여 긴급복구공법 도출 시나리오의 적용성을 검증했다. 적용성 검증을 통해 실제 피해현장에서 보다 적절한 복구공법을 제시할 수 있어 실무 활용에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

Purpose: This study was designed to develop and test the Hope Scale for Korean cancer patients. Methods: The process for the development of the Hope Test was a selection of initial items drawn from a literature review and in-depth interviews. The selected items were assessed for content validity by experts. The Hope Scale was comprised of five factors and 30 preliminary items. The preliminary Hope Scale for Korean Cancer Patients (HS_KCP) was administered to 259 cancer patients from one university hospital and one cancer hospital in Busan. Data were analyzed using item analysis, factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficients, and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$. Results: Eighteen items were selected for the final scale. Five factors (inner sense of control, trust and expectation for recovery of disease, interconnection, spirituality, emotional despair) evolved from the factor analysis, which explained 63.3% of the total variance. The convergent & discriminent validity was r=.83 (p<.001), r=-73 (p<.001). The internal consistency, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ was .88 and reliability of the subscales ranged from .54 to .85. Conclusion: The Hope Scale for Korean cancer patients demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability. It can be used to assess the hope of cancer patients and is feasible within a clinical setting.

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the disaster safety awareness scale for high school students. For this purpose, the previously developed disaster safety awareness scale and related prior research was analyzed. Questionnaire data was collected from March 22 to May 25, 2021 from 1054 students (male: 569, female: 485) in the first, second, and third grades of 5 high schools in 3 cities. Through the process of revising, supplementing, and reviewing the items extracted through preliminary research and preliminary test together with experts and students, a final disaster safety awareness scale consisting of 24 items was developed. This scale consists of four sub-factors: 'disaster prevention', 'disaster response A', 'disaster response B', and 'disaster recovery'. Good reliability and validity were secured through exploratory and confirmatory analyses. The significance of this study is that it laid a basic and objective foundation for high school students' disaster safety awareness research by developing a validated scale in a situation where the development of disaster safety awareness scales for high school students was still insufficient. It can be used as useful data for fire safety education as well as a psychological measurement tool for fostering fire safety awareness.

This study aimed to pilot test a newly developed bilateral upper limb rehabilitation training program for improving the upper limb function of individuals with chronic stroke using a visual feedback method. The double-group pretest-posttest design pilot study included 10 individuals with chronic stroke (age >50 years). The intervention (four weekly meetings) consisted of five upper limb training protocols (wrist extension; forearm supination and pronation; elbow extension and shoulder flexion; weight-bearing shift; and shoulder, elbow, and wrist complex movements). Upper limb movement function recovery was assessed with the FuglMeyer Assessment of the Upper Extremity, the Wolf Motor Function Test, the Trunk Control Test, the modified Ashworth Scale, and the visual analog scale at baseline, immediately after, and four weeks after the intervention. The Fatigue Severity Scale was also employed. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the Upper Extremity and Wolf Motor Function Test showed significant improvement in upper limb motor function. The Trunk Control Test results increased slightly, and the modified Ashworth Scale decreased slightly, without statistical significance. The visual analog scale scores showed a significant decrease and the Fatigue Severity Scale scores were moderate or low. The bilateral upper limb training program using the visual feedback method could result in slight upper limb function improvements in individuals with chronic stroke.

Purpose: This study was conducted to test criterion-related validity of the Critical Patients' Severity Classification System (CPSCS) developed by the Hospital Nurses' Association by examining relationships with brain injury severity measured by Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), recovery state measured by Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), and days of stay in ICU of brain injury patients. Methods: Prospective correlational research design was adopted by including 194 brain injury patients admitted to ICU of one university hospital. Results: The score of CPSCS appeared to significantly discriminate the severity of brain injury. Among nursing activities in CPSCS, Respiratory therapy, IV Infusion and Medication, Monitoring, Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Treatment and Procedure were significant to discriminate the severity of brain injury. Respiratory therapy, Vital Signs, and Monitoring appeared to significantly discriminate the recovery states of 1- and 3-months. Nursing activities significantly contributed to predict the days of ICU stay were Respiratory therapy, ADL, and Teaching and Emotional Support. Conclusion: CPSCS developed by the Hospital Nurses Association appeared to be valid to discriminate or predict brain injury severity, recovery states, and days of stay in ICU for brain injury patients.
