Transdermal drug delivery offers an alternative method to the conventional oral and injection delivery method. Its advantages include its ability to deliver drugs directly into systemic circulation. However, there have been restrictions in its application to deliver drugs because of the skin's barrier function. In this study, we try to combine a Sonophoresis and oxygen Pressure method in order to increase the Permeability of the skin. we used water as the compound and by utilizing the skin impedance method. we measured the hydration Permeability of skin Ultrasound was applied using a sonicator(Solcare-U1000. Solco, Korea) operating at a frequency of 1MHz. oxygen Pressure was applied using a compressor(Oxyjet-Pointer, Nora Bode. Germany) operating at a pressure of 2Bar/cm2. Experiment was performed in vivo for 42 People. We divided the subjects into four smaller groups. A different transdermal drug delivery method was applied for each group on the back of their hand. We measured the skin impedance variations on the hand. during a 20-minute time Period. The control group did not show any significant increase or variation of skin impedance to water. In comparison to the control group(Passive diffusion) the hydration Permeability of the ultrasound group and the oxygen Pressure group was approximately 25 and 30 times higher consecutively. Futhermore, the hydration permeability of the combination of ultrasound and oxygen Pressure group was about 70-fold higher in comparison to the control group(passive diffusion) . The results reveal that a combination of ultrasound and oxygen Pressure will significantly enhance transdermal water transport compared when only one of them is used.

우수한 내식성을 가지는 Zn 박막은 자동차, 가전제품, 전자제품 등에 사용되는 철 생산품의 수명 연장을 위하여 널리 사용되어 왔다. 최근 개발된 Zn-Mg 합금 박막은 Zn나 Mg에 비해 우수한 내식성을 나타내는 Zn-Mg 합금상을 형성하기 때문에 순수한 Zn 박막이나 다른 Zn 계 합금 박막에 비해 우수한 내식성을 가진다고 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 합금상의 형성을 위해 Mg 중간층 두께를 제어하며 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막들을 합성하였으며 열처리를 통한 합금상의 변화, 그에 따른 박막의 내식성에 관해 연구하였다. Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막은 총 $4{\mu}m$의 두께로 Mg 중간층의 두께를 변화하였으며 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터링 공정을 이용하여 냉연강판 위에 합성하였다. 합성된 다층 박막은 다양한 Zn-Mg 합금상을 형성하기 위하여 진공로를 이용하여 $200^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 동안 어닐링 열처리를 실시하였다. 열처리 전, 후 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막의 미세조직과 조성은 X선 회절 분석기 (XRD)와 전계방출형 주사전자현미경 (FE-SEM)과 글로우 방전 분광분석기 (GDEOES)를 사용하여 분석하였다. 어닐링 열처리를 통한 Zn-Mg 합금상 형성이 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막의 내식성에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 동전위 분극시험과 EIS(Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) 분석 실시하였다. FE-SEM과 GDOES 분석 결과, Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막들 각각의 중간층 Mg 두께는 1.5, 2.0, $2.5{\mu}m$ 였으며, 어닐링 열처리 후 중간층의 Mg이 상, 하부의 Zn 층으로 확산되면서 박막을 치밀한 구조로 변화시키는 것으로 확인되었다. XRD 분석 결과, 열처리를 하지 않은 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막들에서는 Mg 상의 피크의 강도 차이만 존재할 뿐 Zn-Mg 합금상은 형성되지 않았다. 그러나 열처리를 후 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막들에서 $MgZn_2$ 합금상이 형성되었으며, 중간층 Mg 두께가 $1.5{\mu}m$ 이하인 박막에서는 Zn 상이, 초과하는 박막에서는 Mg 상이 잔존하는 것을 확인하였다. EIS 분석 결과, 열처리 후 박막의 전하이동저항 값은 증가하며 박막의 어드미턴스 값이 감소하였으며 Bode phase plot을 통해 열처리 후 시정수(time constant)가 높은 주파수 영역에서 형성 되는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 열처리 후 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막이 치밀해지고 내식성이 향상되었음을 나타낸다. 동전위 분극시험 결과에서도 마찬가지로 열처리 한 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막들은 열처리 전 대비 내식성이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 열처리를 통한 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막의 내식성의 향상은 우수한 내식성의 합금상의 형성과 박막 미세구조의 치밀화에 기인한다고 판단하였다. 또한 열처리 한 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막들에서는 Zn와 $MgZn_2$ 상들이 공존 할 경우 가장 우수한 내식성을 나타내었으며, 이는 $MgZn_2$와 Zn 사이의 적은 전위 차이로 인해 갈바닉 부식 효과가 감소되었기 때문으로 판단된다.

Purpose of study: Recognizing the importance of securing professionalism in church education in the context of the serious problem of church eucation in the Korean church today, this study aims to reveal the problems of current church education and suggest alternatives for solving the problems. Research content and method: The Korean church is facing crises. One of the crises is the decline in church membership and worship attendance. Another, more fundamental problem is the crisis of church education, where the number of students in Sunday schools is plummeting, and many young people are leaving the church. Many of them are questioning the quality of church education leaders. The decline and demise of Sunday schools does not bode well for the future of the Korean church. What the church needs to do to address these issues is to build up educational professionals. Leadership and professionalism are critical issues. Until now, the needs of church education in the Korean church have relied on dedication and life mission rather than professionalism. And these criteria were enough. It has been 34 years since the October 1989 resolution of the General Assembly of the Christian Church in Korea to establish a system of educators. However, little progress has been made and the system has not been changed to a system of educators. One of the ways to solve this problem is for the Korean church to prepare for the future of the Korean church by utilizing educators for church growth and the restoration of Sunday schools. Conclusions and Suggestions: For the function, mission, and purpose of the church, the system of educators is requested to be established in the Korean church as soon as possible to fulfill the professional church education and educational pastoral mission. In response to this call, current Korean church education needs to change and innovate. The direction of innovation is professional education, which means that there is a need and urgency for professional educators qs church education leaders.
