119구급대원의 응급구급활동과 관련하여 형사법적으로 문제되는 영역은 크게 세 가지이다. 첫째는 구급 요청을 거절하는 행위이며, 둘째는 요구호자를 이송하지 않는 미이송 행위이고, 셋째는 응급처치행위이다. 이러한 일련의 구급대원의 행위들이 '응급의료에 관한 법률'이나 관련 법규의 규정에 위반되어 이루어진 경우에는 이들 법률들에 규정된 범죄행위가 성립한다. 특히 정당한 이유 없이 구급요청을 거절한 행위는 응급의료법상 응급의료거부죄가 성립하고, 적법한 절차에 의하지 아니한 응급처치는 무단 응급처치죄가 성립한다. 또한 구급요청거절과 미이송 행위 그리고 응급처치나 미응급처치 등으로 인해 요구호자가 사망하거나 상태가 악화된 경우에는 형법상 살인죄나 업무상과실치사죄 또는 중상해죄가 성립할 수 있다. 이처럼 구급대원의 경우에는 구급활동과 관련하여 형사적 책임으로부터 자유로울 수가 없다. 즉 구급대원들도 직무의 소홀과 과실로 인해 발생하는 법익침해적 결과에 대해서는 당연히 형사적 책임을 져야 한다. 그러나 긴급상황에서 불가피하게 국민의 생명과 건강을 침해한 경우에는 이들을 보호할 수 있는 법적 방안도 마련되어야 하며, 특히 열악한 근무환경에서 구급대원에게만 그 책임을 전가할 수 없는 게 현실이다. 현재 구호자보호법 제정문제가 논의되고 있는데, 이 법률에 구급대원의 형사면책부분이 합리적으로 규정되어 궁극적으로 구급대원들이 국민의 생명과 건강을 지키는 파수꾼으로서 그 역할에 충실할 수 있도록 하여야 한다.

In this study, we investigated the injection molding technology of thick-walled light guides, which are parts that control the light source of automotive lamps. Through injection molding analysis, the gate position that can minimize product shrinkage and deformation was selected, and a mold reflecting the analysis results was manufactured to evaluate the effect of injection speed and holding pressure on transferability during micro-pattern molding through experiments. When designing an injection mold for products with varying thicknesses, it was found that installing the gate on the side of the thicker part was advantageous for reducing volume shrinkage and deformation. It was found that the effect of shrinkage due to thickness may be greater than the position of the gate on pattern transferability. The pattern transfer error decreased as the injection speed and holding pressure increased, and it was found that increasing the injection speed was relatively effective.

The consumption of foods rich in TDF should not be associated with impaired mineral absorp-tion and long-term mineral status. In surveys of populations consuming high amounts of TDF e.g Third World populations and vegetarinas gross deficiencies in mineral nutrition have not been noted. If mineral status is low among these groups it is most likely caused by the inadequacy or imbalance of the diet and not by the TDF. The key word is interaction which should be inte-rpreted in dietary imbalances that produce nut-rient deficiencies. There are no strong data to support the concept that TDF inhibits mineral absorption through a binding chelation mechanism. Limited data sug-gest that positively charged groups on polymers such as chitosan and cholestyramine will decrease iron absorption in humans and animals. Because TDF does not contain positively charged groups future research should be directed at the possible role of protein consumed along with TDF and the combination of effects on mineral nutrition Phytic acid is acknowledged as a potent chela-tor of zinc. However its association with zinc and its propensity to lower Zn bioavaiability may enhance the absorption of other elements notably copper and iron. The importance of interactions among nutrients including TDF will gain addi-tional attention in the scientific community. Soluble and insoluble dietary fiber function di-fferently in the intestine. Insoluble fibers accele-rate movement through the intestine. Soluble die-tary fibers appear to regulated blood concentra-tions of glucose and cholesterol albeit by some unknown mechanism. In creased viscosity produ-ced by the SDF in the intestine may provide an explanation of how this class of polymers affects plasma glucose cholesterol and other nutrients. Employing a double-perfusion technique in the rat we demonstrated that viscosity produced by SDF will delay transfer of zinc into the circulatory system. This delayed absorption should not be interpreted as decreased utilization. A great deal of additional research is required to prove the importance of luminaly viscosity produced by SDF on slowing nutrient absorption or regulating bllod nutrient homeostasis. Increased intake of TDF in the total human diet appears desirable. A dietary intake of 35g/day should not be considered to have a negative effect on mineral absorption. It is important to educate people that an intake of more than 35g TDF/day may cause an imbalance in the diet that can adve-rsely affect mineral utilization. Acknowledgments.

고체산화물 연료전지의 성능과 안정성은 전극의 기공률, 기공 분포와 전해질의 치밀도, 두께에 따라 결정 된다. 연료극의 기공률과 기공 분포는 활성면적와 연료 흐름에 영향을 주고, 전해질의 치밀한 미세구조와 두께는 단위전지의 Ohmic 저항에 영향을 준다. 하지만 이를 위해 값 비싼 공정 장비를 이용하거나 여러 단계의 제작 공정이 추가 될 경우 단위전지 제작비가 증가하므로 상업화를 목표로 하는 연구에는 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 위와 같은 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 상용 소재 기반의 NiO-YSZ 연료극을 선정 후 간단한 혼합 방법 및 일축가압 성형법과 담금코팅(dip coating) 공정을 사용하여 저비용 고효율의 세라믹 공정 기반의 고성능 단위전지를 제작하였다. 연료극의 기공률은 기공형성제로서 사용되는 카본 블랙(CB, carbon black)의 첨가량(10~20 wt%)과 최종 소결온도($1350{\sim}1450^{\circ}C$)를 변경하며 제어하였고, YSZ 전해질의 두께와 미세구조는 담금코팅 슬러리의 고상 분말량(YSZ, 1~5 vol%)을 제어하여 치밀한 박막의 전해질을 구현하고자 하였다. 그 결과 Ni-YSZ 연료극에서 최적의 값으로 잘 알려진 40%의 기공률은 카본 블랙을 15 wt% 첨가하고최종소결온도를 $1350^{\circ}C$로설정함으로써얻을수있었다. 담금코팅을통한 YSZ 두께는 $2{\sim}28{\mu}m$까지 제어가 가능하였고, 3 vol%의 고상분말량에서 치밀한 전해질 미세구조가 형성되었다. 최종적으로 40%의 기공률을 갖는 Ni-YSZ 연료극, $20{\mu}m$ 두께의 치밀한 YSZ전해질, LSM-YSZ 공기극으로 구성된 단위전지는 $800^{\circ}C$에서 $1.426Wcm^{-2}$의 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

In 1997 when cloned sheep Dolly and soon after Polly were born, it had become head-line news because in the former the nucleus that gave rise to the lamb came from cells of six-year-old adult sheep and in the latter case a foreign gene was inserted into the donor nucleus to make the cloned sheep produce human protein, factor IX, in e milk. In the last few years, once the realm of science fiction, cloned mammals especially in livestock have become almost commonplace. What the press accounts often fail to convey, however, is that behind every success lie hundreds of failures. Many of the nuclear-transferred egg cells fail to undergo normal cell divisions. Even when an embryo does successfully implant in the womb, pregnancy often ends in miscarriage. A significant fraction of the animals that are born die shortly after birth and some of those that survived have serious developmental abnormalities. Efficiency remains at less than one % out of some hundred attempts to clone an animal. These facts show that something is fundamentally wrong and enormous hurdles must be overcome before cloning becomes practical. Cloning researchers now tent to put aside their effort to create live animals in order to probe the fundamental questions on cell biology including stem cells, the questions of whether the hereditary material in the nucleus of each cell remains intact throughout development, and how transferred nucleus is reprogrammed exactly like the zygotic nucleus. Stem cells are defined as those cells which can divide to produce a daughter cell like themselves (self-renewal) as well as a daughter cell that will give rise to specific differentiated cells (cell-differentiation). Multicellular organisms are formed from a single totipotent stem cell commonly called fertilized egg or zygote. As this cell and its progeny undergo cell divisions the potency of the stem cells in each tissue and organ become gradually restricted in the order of totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent. The differentiation potential of multipotent stem cells in each tissue has been thought to be limited to cell lineages present in the organ from which they were derived. Recent studies, however, revealed that multipotent stem cells derived from adult tissues have much wider differentiation potential than was previously thought. These cells can differentiate into developmentally unrelated cell types, such as nerve stem cell into blood cells or muscle stem cell into brain cells. Neural stem cells isolated from the adult forebrain were recently shown to be capable of repopulating the hematopoietic system and produce blood cells in irradiated condition. In plants although the term$\boxDr$ stem cell$\boxUl$is not used, some cells in the second layer of tunica at the apical meristem of shoot, some nucellar cells surrounding the embryo sac, and initial cells of adventive buds are considered to be equivalent to the totipotent stem cells of mammals. The telomere ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes cannot be replicated because the RNA primer at the end of a completed lagging strand cannot be replaced with DNA, causing 5' end gap. A chromosome would be shortened by the length of RNA primer with every cycle of DNA replication and cell division. Essential genes located near the ends of chromosomes would inevitably be deleted by end-shortening, thereby killing the descendants of the original cells. Telomeric DNA has an unusual sequence consisting of up to 1,000 or more tandem repeat of a simple sequence. For example, chromosome of mammal including human has the repeating telomeric sequence of TTAGGG and that of higher plant is TTTAGGG. This non-genic tandem repeat prevents the death of cell despite the continued shortening of chromosome length. In contrast with the somatic cells germ line cells have the mechanism to fill-up the 5' end gap of telomere, thus maintaining the original length of chromosome. Cem line cells exhibit active enzyme telomerase which functions to maintain the stable length of telomere. Some of the cloned animals are reported prematurely getting old. It has to be ascertained whether the multipotent stem cells in the tissues of adult mammals have the original telomeres or shortened telomeres.
