  • Falls are common, costly, and a leading cause of death among older adults. The major predisposing factors of a fall may include age-related deterioration in the dynamic system composed of auditory, somatosensory, vestibular, visual, musculoskeletal, and neuromuscular subsystems. Older adults with a history of frequent falls demonstrated significant reductions in gait velocity, muscle force production, and balance performance. These altered neuromechanical characteristics may be further exaggerated when faced with conflicting multisensory conditions. Despite the important contribution of multisensory function on the sensorimotor system during postural and locomotor tasks, it remains unclear whether multisensory intervention will produce dynamic balance improvement during locomotion in older adults with a history of frequent falls. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to address important factors associated with falls in elderly adults and provide theoretical rationale for a multisensory intervention program model.

  • Recently the increased concerns about the cost reduction and environmental protection make the paper industry increase the closure level of papermaking system, which results in the buildup of organic and inorganic materials in the papermaking process water. Increase of the system closure causes deterioration of additive performance and provokes diverse problems in papermaking process and product quality. To investigate the effects of process water quality on the physical properties of fine papers handsheets were prepared with process water containing various amounts of inorganic and organic contaminants including calcium or sodium ions and oxidized or cationic starches. Inorgainc and organic materials did not show any significant effect on the physical properties of handsheets. Recycled GCC showed the same trends as inorganic and organic materials. The performance of cationic starch was deteriorated, however, in the recycled white water, which resulted in the reduction of tensile index of handsheets.

  • The physical and mechanical properties of linerboard were shown to be affected by changing atmospheric conditions. Two atmospheric conditions were measured in order to investigate how they were affected by different atmospheric conditions on the physical and mechanical properties of domestic linerboard. The basis data set for the standardization research was provided in this study. It is confirmed that the relative humidity seemed to be a major factor on the quality deterioration of a linerboard. Experimental results have shown that the short span compression test (SCT) could be used to evaluate the quality characteristics of linerboardat different moisture content and relative humidity.

  • 화순 운주사 석조불감(보물 제797호)은 고려시대 양식을 갖추고 있는 석조문화재로서 아주 독특한 형식적 특징을 보여준다. 남북의 감실 내부에는 각각의 불상이 등을 맞대고 있는 쌍배 좌상의 형태를 보이고 있어 역사적, 미술사적 및 학술적으로 높은 평가를 받고 있다. 그러나 이 석조불감은 특별한 보호시설 없이 옥외에 노출되어 장기간의 풍화작용으로 다양한 훼손양상이 복합적으로 나타나고 있다. 이 석조불감은 총 47매의 암석으로 구성되어 있으며, 총 하중은 약 56.6톤이다. 구성 재질은 주로 회백색의 유리질 조직을 갖는 화산력 응회암류로 암편질 응회암과 유문암질 각력응회암이다. 또한 이들의 보수과정에서 부분적으로 흑운모 화강암을 사용하였다. 이들 응회암질암의 화학적 풍화지수는 52.1~59.4이나, 대체적인 화강암은 보다 신선한 50.0~51.0을 보인다. 이 연구에서는 석조불감에 나타나는 손상유형을 크게 물리적, 화학적 및 생물학적 풍화로 구분하여 훼손양상에 따라 종합훼손지도를 작성하였고, 표면적 대비 점유율을 산출하였다. 이 결과, 물리적 풍화양상 중 박리박락이 모든 방위에서 가장 높은 점유율을 보였으며, 방위로는 석감의 남측 면이 39.1%로 가장 높은 풍화도를 보였다. 화학적 풍화는 흑색 변색, 황갈색 변색, 백화현상 순으로 나타났으며 석감의 서측 면에서 61.2%의 높은 점유율을 보인다. 육안으로 볼 때, 가장 심각한 훼손을 보이는 생물학적 풍화는 회색지의류가 압도적으로 높으며, 석조불감 북측 면이 38.3%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 따라서 균열과 박리박락이 심한 부재의 접합 및 보강이 선행되어야 하며, 이차적 오염물질과 생물들은 정기적인 세정을 통해 제거하는 등 각각의 손상도에 적합한 보존방안의 수립과 임상실험을 통한 과학적 처리가 필요하다.

  • 무령왕릉 석수와 지석은 같은 암종으로 심성화성암에 속하는 각섬석암(hornblendite)이다. 이 암석은 녹회색에 중립의 등립질 입상조직을 보이며, 주요 조암광물은 각섬석과 사장석이다. 석수의 전암대자율은 0.15~0.63(평균 $0.42{\times}10^{-3}SI\;unit$), 왕의 지석은 0.11~0.38(평균 $0.24{\times}10^{-3}SI\;unit$), 왕비의 지석은 0.10~0.33(평균 $0.18{\times}10^{-3}SI\;unit$)으로 거의 동일한 낮은 값을 보였다. 이 암석은 공주 부근에서 대규모 산출지를 찾기가 어려우나 암맥상으로 여러 곳에서 확인된다. 그러나 산출상태와 암상으로 보아 석수와 지석의 암석은 맥암과는 달리 심성암의 특징을 보인다. 석수와 지석의 표면에 분포하는 적갈색 및 담갈색 오염물의 분석 결과, 적갈색 오염물은 Fe에 의한 산화물로, 담갈색 오염물은 Ca의 용출에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 적갈색 오염물은 암석 내부 기원과 철제 부장품의 산화가 모두 작용하였으며, 담갈색 오염물은 왕릉에 사용된 석회질에서 유입되어 약간의 철산화물이 더해진 것으로 판단된다. 석수와 지석은 균열, 탈락과 같은 물리적 요인과 화학적 오염이 복합적으로 작용하여 손상이 진행되었다. 그러나 모두 물리적 손상은 극히 적으며, 석수 일부분과 왕비 지석 앞면을 제외하고는 화학적 풍화에도 안정한 상태이다.

  • This study aims to investigate the applicability of supercritical fluid extraction as a dewaxing technique to restore the beeswax-treated volume of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty in various deterioration and damage conditions. Thus, this study analyzed the dewaxing efficiency and changes in physical and morphological properties before and after dewaxing, by applying the optimal supercritical fluid extraction dewaxing condition ($70^{\circ}C$, 40 MPa, $CO_2$, Co-solvent 20% DCM, 2 hour) to 3 kinds of beeswax-treated paper with different deterioration rates (dry artificial aging of 10, 20 and 30 days at $120^{\circ}C$). After dry artificial aging at $120^{\circ}C$ for 30 days, the average molecular weight of the beeswax-treated specimen was $1.856{\times}10^5g/mol$, showing deterioration about 80% of the beeswax-treated paper before dewaxing. It was a similar level to the molecular weight of the bees-waxed volume of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty that has a higher degree of damage. As a result of analyzing the dewaxing efficiency through FT-IR analysis, this study discovered that it was possible to effectively dewax beeswax-treated paper in the range of deterioration 20 to 80% with this supercritical fluid extraction dewaxing technique applied. As a result of analyzing changes in the physical and morphological properties before and after dewaxing, the viscosity tended to decrease to a slight degree, and since no morphological deformation or damage of stencil fibers was found, it was concluded possible to conduct stable dewaxing through this supercritical fluid extraction technique.

  • This study is performed to investigate the difference of the spinal stability system with and without low back pain. There were 9 participants with low back pain and 9 asymptomatic subjects to be recruited, they were measured thoracic and lumbar curvature, trunk muscle activation in upright sitting postures and slump sitting, back muscle endurance, and lumbar proprioception. Spinal curvature and surface electromyography of 4 trunk muscles were measured in an upright sitting postures and slump sitting in 18 subjects. The result of the study was that there were significant differences between the groups in spinal curvature (p<.05), significantly higher external oblique activity and less internal oblique in the low back pain group than the healthy subjects (p<.05), and significantly less proprioception in the low back pain group (p<.05). But there was not a significant difference between the trunk muscle endurance groups. According to the result, the low back pain group had greater thoracic extension and higher global muscle activity in the upright sitting posture and less proprioception. This study was useful to suggest postural training for normal muscle activation, selective muscle strengthening to prevent chronic deterioration, and helpful in making a treatment plan to indicate a synthetic care method that includes increasing proprioception.

  • PURPOSE: The respiratory function and range of joint mobility deteriorate due to aging, respectively, and the respiratory function may be related to the range of joint mobility. To the best of the authors' knowledge, there has been little research on how the deterioration of the range of joint mobility caused by aging is related directly to the respiratory function. This study investigated the relationship between the respiratory function and the range of joint motion in the cervical and lumbar regions of older adults. METHODS: Thirty-two older adults participated in the study. The forced vital capacity (peak expiratory flow: PEF and forced expiratory volume in 1 second: FEV1) and the range of cervical joint motion were assessed in all subjects. The results were analyzed using the Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS: The respiratory function moderately correlated with age. A moderate correlation was observed between FEV1 and right cervical lateral flexion. PEF was moderately correlated with the lumbar lateral flexion. In addition, FEV1 correlated strongly with lumbar lateral flexion. CONCLUSION: The respiratory function was correlated with the cervical and lumbar lateral flexion. Therefore, rehabilitation of the respiratory function should involve improving the limited range of motion of the joints, and a stretching program is needed for older adults.

  • Background: It is suggested that the decline in functional level due to aging influences the increase in traffic accidents among elderly drivers. Among the functions related to the driving behavior of older drivers, physical function is related to muscle strength and motor control, and aging causes deterioration of motor control and a defect in motor output variability. Method: Data Search The online databases used for literature search are PubMed, ProQuest(PML), NDSL, and literature searches were conducted from April 19 to April 26, 2022. For the search, 'aging', 'driving', and 'braking' were used in the investigation. Results: The physical functions related to the braking ability of elderly drivers were analyzed in muscle strength, reaction ability, motor control, and other related factors. In terms of muscle strength, 3 studies analyzed the above factors. 8 studies analyzed the above factors for response ability. For motor control, two studies analyzed the above factors. In addition, related factors were analyzed in one piece. Conclusion: As a result of the analysis, physical function for reaction ability showed the highest frequency, followed by the strength item with the highest frequency. This study suggests that factors that can increase physical function must be included in the development of a rehabilitation program for the driving ability of the elderly.

  • 서산마애삼존불상(국보 제84호)을 이루는 암석은 담회색을 띠는 중립질 흑운모 화강암이며 부분적으로 페그마타이트 및 석영 세맥이 관찰된다. 삼존불이 조각된 암반은 전면에 걸쳐 불규칙적인 불연속면의 발달로 크기와 모양이 다양한 암괴를 형성하고 있으며, 암반 사면의 안정성이 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 훼손도 진단 결과, 수직 및 수평 절리가 밀집된 부분을 중심으로 물리적 풍화와 표면변색에 의해 훼손이 가중된 상태를 보인다. 이를 삼존불의 전체 면적대비 훼손율 42.7%에 비교했을 때, 물리적 풍화는 9.6%, 변색은 33.1%로 변색에서 높은 점유율을 보였다. 초음파 측정 결과, 삼존불은 전반적으로 심한 풍화단계(HW)에 있으며 삼존불에 발달하고 있는 불규칙한 절리계를 따라 약 1,000m/s의 저속도대가 분포하여 구성 암석이 약화된 것을 알 수 있다. 삼존불 보호각 내외부의 상대습도는 사계절 모두 평균 70% 이상을 기록하며, 95% 이상의 고습도 영역에서 높은 빈도수를 나타냈다. 이 고습도 환경은 강수와 함께 암석 표면에 결로를 발생시켜 수분을 공급하며 수분의 침투와 함수율이 높은 균열 및 절리대를 따라 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 풍화를 진전시키는 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 삼존불의 과학적 보존을 위해 수분문제를 비롯하여 지속적인 보존환경 모니터링을 통한 환경제어 방안이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
