이 논문은 현대예술과 현대 선교신학이 추구하는 ‘참’(본질)의 의미로서 개인과 사회의 아름다운 삶을 위한 미적 실천의 관점이 짙은 연구 글이다. 먼저 현대예술은 예술철학적 관점에서 개인의 삶과 공동 사회를 아름답게 만들고, 덕을 세우는 등 진정한 사랑에 기인한 예술적 추구야말로 본질적 예술미로 규정한다. 또한, 현대 선교신학은 예전 중심의 예배를 넘어 인자와 공의가 실현되는 하나님 나라 복음의 실천으 로서 삶의 예배를 강조한다. 그러나 현대 기독교의 예술선교는 상황화 관점을 견지하면서도 실용성, 방법론, 문화 상대성 중심의 타문화 선교전략을 강구하고 있다. 이는 그 출발점이 현지인을 통한 선교전략 으로 보기에는 어렵다. 이런 이유로 이 논문은 행위예술의 관점에서 문화적 정서나 다름을 초월하여 자국민의 삶에 나타나는 일상 행위와 존재 방식이 어떠할 때 선교적 의미를 드러내고, 그 기능을 수행하는지 를 연구한 것이다. 곧 ‘선교적 행위예술’(missional performance art)이란, 하나님의 본질적 미(美)를 구현하는 행위로서 그 신학적 기준은 1) 본질적 창조성, 2) 생명적 회복성, 3) 육화적 전인성, 4) 증언적 복음성, 5) 지속적 혁신성, 6) 초월적 현재성이라는 요소를 지닌다.

The aim of this study was to compare the antioxidant activities and functional contents of Korean conventional and Chinese seed gingers from the Jeollabuk-do Wanju and Chungcheongnam-do Seosan regions. Ginger samples were subjected to steaming treatments for different durations (2–8 h) at 121oC using an autoclave. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring total polyphenol and flavonoid contents and ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities, while functional ingredient contents were analyzed for gingerols and shogaols. The results showed that Wanju conventional seed ginger (WO-2) had the highest total polyphenol (85.24 mg GAE/g) and flavonoid (98.14 RE/100 g) contents, surpassing that of the control in all steamed groups at 6 h. ABTS radical scavenging activity showed a strong correlation with total polyphenol and flavonoid contents. The control groups indicated that Korean conventional seed ginger had 1.0–1.3 times higher gingerol contents compared to Chinese seed ginger. Furthermore, the content of shogaols, considered major functional ingredients, increased significantly with longer steaming durations, reaching the highest content (1,793 mg/kg) at 8 h, which was 1.0–1.8 times higher in Korean conventional seed ginger than that in Chinese seed ginger. These experiments provide valuable data supporting the excellence of Korean conventional seed ginger in the future.

Peanut is a well-known food allergen that causes adverse reactions ranging from mild urticaria to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Consumers suffering from peanut allergies should thus avoid consuming undeclared peanuts in processed foods. Therefore, effective cleaning methods are needed to remove food allergens from manufacturing facilities. To address this, wet cleaning methods with washing water at different temperatures, abstergents (peracetic acid, sodium bicarbonate, dilute sodium hypochlorite, detergent), and cleaning tools (brush, sponge, paper towel, and cotton) were investigated to remove peanuts from materials used in food manufacture, including plastics, wood, glass, and stainless steel. Peanut butter was coated on the surface of the glass, wood, stainless steel, and plastic for 30 min and cleaned using wet cleaning. The peanut residue on the cleaned surfaces was swabbed and determined using an optimized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cleaning using a brush and hot water above 50oC showed an effective reduction of peanut residue from the surface. However, removing peanuts from wooden surfaces was complicated. These results provide information for selecting appropriate materials in food manufacturing facilities and cleaning methods to remove food allergens. Additionally, the cleaning methods developed in this study can be applied to further research on removing other food allergens.

The influence of specimen geometry and notch on the hydrogen embrittlement of an SA372 steel for pressure vessels was investigated in this study. A slow strain-rate tensile (SSRT) test after the electrochemical hydrogen charging method was conducted on four types of tensile specimens with different directions, shapes (plate, round), and notches. The plate-type specimen showed a significant decrease in hydrogen embrittlement resistance owing to its large surface-to-volume ratio, compared to the round-type specimen. It is well established that most of the hydrogen distributes over the specimen surface when it is electrochemically charged. For the round-type specimens, the notched specimen showed increased hydrogen susceptibility compared with the unnotched one. A notch causes stress concentration and thus generates lots of dislocations in the locally deformed regions during the SSRT test. The solute hydrogen weakens the interactions between these dislocations by promoting the shielding effect of stress fields, which is called hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity mechanisms. These results provide crucial insights into the relationship between specimen geometry and hydrogen embrittlement resistance.

Plasma polymerized Styrene thin films were used as a memory layer in a memory device. As for the memory layer, a ppS thin films were used for the organic memory device and their charge storage characteristic was investigated comparatively, where the charge storage effect was evaluated by a hysteresis voltage. The organic memory device with ppS thin film of 30nm and 50nm as memory layer showed promising memory characteristics such as hysteresis voltage of 20V and 28V. The ppS revealed promising charge storage properties which confirms that an organic memory device without floating gate could be successfully implemented by using the ppS thin film as a memory layer.

To develop a high capacity lithium secondary battery, a new approach to anode material synthesis is required, capable of producing an anode that exceeds the energy density limit of a carbon-based anode. This research synthesized carbon nano silicon composites as an anode material for a secondary battery using the RF thermal plasma method, which is an ecofriendly dry synthesis method. Prior to material synthesis, a silicon raw material was mixed at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 wt% based on the carbon raw material in a powder form, and the temperature change inside the reaction field depending on the applied plasma power was calculated. Information about the materials in the synthesized carbon nano silicon composites were confirmed through XRD analysis, showing carbon (86.7~52.6 %), silicon (7.2~36.2 %), and silicon carbide (6.1~11.2 %). Through FE-SEM analysis, it was confirmed that the silicon bonded to carbon was distributed at sizes of 100 nm or less. The bonding shape of the silicon nano particles bonded to carbon was observed through TEM analysis. The initial electrochemical charging/ discharging test for the 40 wt% silicon mixture showed excellent electrical characteristics of 1,517 mAh/g (91.9 %) and an irreversible capacity of 133 mAh/g (8.1 %).

Prebiotics are known as components of intestinal microbiota that can improve and maintain human health status by stimulating the growth and activity of the intestinal tract as a method of controlling the intestinal environment. In this study, we examined whether 2’-fucosyllactose (FL) could affect intestinal microbial population and bowel activity. Water content and frequency of mouse feces were increased in the 2’-FL treated group at a high concentration (1,000 mg/kg), with brightness of the color enhanced and physical properties diluted. In addition, intestinal microbial analysis showed that harmful bacteria Clostridium and Staphylococcus strains were decreased and beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus strains were markedly increased in the group treated with a high concentration of 2’-FL compared to those in the control group. These findings suggest that administration of 2’-FL can maintain healthy bowel activity by reducing harmful bacteria population and improving diluted physical properties.

This paper systematically analyzed research trends of North Korean defectors’ English education in South Korea using the scoping literature review method. From 2001 to 2022, research on this topic was categorized into three phases: 1) Phase 1 (2000-2011), 2) Phase 2 (2012-2019), and 3) Phase 3 (2020-Present). Each phase was analyzed using school levels, themes, and research methods. Approximately a quarter of previous research investigated alternative schools for North Korean defectors, with students having difficulties with their limited English learning experiences. Research themes mainly concentrated on learner factors (48 papers), followed by educational contexts and teaching methods (21 papers). Most studies on appropriate teaching methods for North Korean defectors adopted qualitative methods focusing on a small number of participants. Regarding research methods, studies adopting qualitative methods accounted for 48.0%, whereas studies using quantitative ones accounted for 10.4%, reflecting the limited research opportunities to collect a large set of data from various North Korean participants in South Korea.

본 연구는 국내 희귀 및 멸종위기야생식물 Ⅱ급인 초령목의 자생지에서의 분포와 생육 특성을 파악하고 보전지위를 평가하 고자 실시하였다. 초령목은 흑산도와 제주도에서 자생지가 확인되었는데, 4개의 개체군으로 구분되었다. 자생지에서 314개체 가 확인되었으며, 이중 약 45.9%(144개체)가 해발고도 401m~500m 범위에 분포하였다. 수고는 평균 2.7(±4.8)m였으며, 흉고직경은 12.6(±13.9)㎝였고 분지는 평균 1.0(±0.5)개로 나타났다. 초령목의 어린나무 개체들은 어미목에서 반경 30m 이내에 54.3%가 분포하였고, 31m~40m 사이에서 25.8%가 분포하였으며, 반경 60m 이내에 대부분(90.1%)이 확인되었다. 초령목의 어린나무 개체들이 일부 성숙목 주변에서도 확인되지 않고, 극히 한정된 지역에서만 출현하는 것은 자생지 환경뿐만 아니라 생육조건과 관계가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 초령목의 종자 산포는 천연하종과 더불어 조류가 관여하는 것으로 추정되는 데, 이는 천연하종의 범위 이상에서 발견되는 자생지는 조류가 쉴 수 있는 물웅덩이가 근처에 존재하는 공통적인 특징을 지녔기 때문이다. 초령목의 지역 및 국가수준의 IUCN 적색목록 평가기준의 범주는 위급(Critically Endangered) 범주에 해당하며 국내 개체군은 “CR B2ab(ⅴ); C2a(ⅰ); D” 범주로 평가되는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, we investigated the effect of the extracts of Cyrtomium fortunei J.Sm. (CFJ) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced inflammation in mouse BV-2 microglial cells. Nitric oxide (NO) production and cell viability were measured using the Griess reagent and the (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide) (MTT) assay. Inflammatory cytokines were detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in BV-2 microglial cells with and without CFJ extracts. Subsequently, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and antioxidant markers were assessed by western blot analysis. It was found that the CFJ extract significantly decreased the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-6, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-, and IL-1) and NO in BV-2 microglial cells that were stimulated with LPS. In addition, the expression levels of the phosphorylation of the MAPK family (p38, c-Jun N-terminal kinases [JNK], and extracellularsignal regulated kinase [ERK]) were reduced by CFJ. Also, treatment with CFJ significantly increased the activities of superoxide dismutase type 1(SOD1) and Catalase in BV-2 microglial cells. Our results indicate that CFJ has a potent suppressive effect on the pro-inflammatory responses of activated BV-2 microglia. Therefore, CFJ has the potential to be an effective treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, as it can inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators in activated BV-2 microglial cells.

본 연구에서는 경기도내 유통되고 있는 심해성 어류 50 건을 대상으로 수은, 메틸수은의 오염도 및 셀레늄의 함 량을 알아보았다. 금아말감법의 수은분석기, ICP-MS를 사 용하여 측정하였으며 각 항목별 평균함량은 수은 0.7647 mg/ kg (0.0182-5.3620), 메틸수은 0.0764 mg/kg (0.0096-0.8750), 셀레늄 0.4728 mg/kg(0.1075-3.5100)으로 메틸수은은 50건 모두 기준규격(1.0 mg/kg) 이하로 나타났다. 셀레늄은 수 은과 결합하여 수은의 독성을 감소시키는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 본 연구과제에서는 일일평균섭취량이 3.3 μg/kg으 로 일일권장량보다 낮은 수치였다. 유해물질인 수은과 메 틸수은은 JECFA에서 설정한 PTWI의 5.7%, 1.8%로 조사 되었다. 따라서 도내에서 유통되는 심해성 어류의 수은, 메틸수은과 같은 위해중금속은 안전한 것으로 나타났지만 지속적 모니터링이 필요하다고 판단된다.

농촌진흥청에서 진행한 ‘왕귀뚜라미 돌보기 프로그램’으로 노인들의 우울증과 인지 기 능 개선을 통한 정서적 안정에 도움이 된다는 사실을 과학적인 방법을 통해 확인하고 이 를 관련 저명 학술지 제기하였다. 이를 바탕으로 본 연구는 전라북도 익산시에 거주하는 5세부터 10세까지 아동 50명을 대상으로 직접 만나 전문가의 자문을 받아 작성한 총 11 문항의 설문지를 활용하여 조사를 진행하였다. 설문조사는 소리 곤충에 대한 인식도는 높 았지만, 선호도와 사육 의향에서 부정적인 결과가 나왔다. 또한 소리곤충 중 귀뚜라미의 소리에 대한 문항에서는 긍정적인 결과가 나온 반면 여치의 소리에 대한 문항에서는 부정 적인 결과가 나왔다. 본 논문에서는 소리 곤충에 대한 아동의 인식도 및 선호도를 파악하 기 위한 설문조사 연구를 통해 관련 연구와 활동에 자료를 제공하고자 한다.

곤충은 지구상의 생물 중에서 가장 많은 종을 차지하고 있다. 또 인류보다도 훨씬 오래 된 지구의 선점자이며, 환경에 대한 적응력이 뛰어나 전 세계적으로 서식하고 있다. 현대 에 접어들면서 곤충은 사람들에게 식품(식용 곤충), 치유(소리, 정서곤충) 등의 다양한 효 과를 제공하고 있지만, 사람들은 그 효과에 대해서 잘 알지 못하고 징그럽다고 생각하는 것이 대부분이다. 그래서 우리는 곤충 중에서도 울음소리로 사람들의 마음을 치유하는 소 리곤충(귀뚜라미, 여치)를 주제로 본 연구를 하였다. 본 연구는 무작위의 성인 30명을 대 상으로 소리곤충(귀뚜라미, 여치)에 대한 인지 정도를 알아보고 실제 성인들이 소리곤충 (귀뚜라미, 여치) 울음소리의 효능에 대해서 알고 있는지, 알지 못한다면 그 효능에 대해 서 알리기 위한 것이 목적이다. 이에, 본 연구를 위하여 설문지 법을 사용하였으며, 대상 자는 무작위 대상의 남녀 30명(여:18, 남:12) 이었다. 설문조사 결과로는 응답자의 과반 수가 소리곤충 울음소리에 대해서 긍정적인 답변을 보였다. 하지만 소리의 호감도에 비해 직접 소리곤충을 키울 의향이 있다는 사람은 5명(20%)밖에 되지 않았다. 이에 성인들을 대상으로 귀뚜라미나 여치 등을 키우는 체험이 활성화된다면 더욱 긍정적인 결과가 나올 것으로 판단한다.

본 연구는 부도덕한 행동 이후에 발생하는 정화행동에 대한 도덕적 평가가 행위자의 자원 가용성에 따라 달라지는지를 검증했다. 이를 위해 행위자 특성(사회경제적 수준, 신체건강 수준)을 달리하여 도덕적 정화방법(기부, 봉사)에 따른 자원 가용성을 조작했으며, 참가자들은 도덕적 정화행동에 따른 고통, 위선의 정도, 그리고 용서 가능성을 평정했다. 연구 1에서는 사회경제적 수준이 높거나 낮은 사람이 기부 혹은 봉사를 통해 도덕적 정화행동을 하는 시나리오를 제시했다. 그 결과 참가자들은 부유한 사람의 기부는 고통스럽지 않았을 것이며, 위선적이고 용서하기 어렵다고 판단했다. 연구 2에서는 신체가 건강하거나 병약한 사람이 기부 혹은 봉사를 통해 잘못을 정화하는 내용을 제시했다. 그 결과 병약한 사람의 봉사활동은 고통스러웠을 것이며, 덜 위선적이며 (다른 조건에 비해) 용서 가능성을 높게 평가했다. 매개분석 결과 연구 1, 2 모두에서 정화행동의 고통이 클수록 위선을 약하게 판단하며, 이는 용서 가능성을 높이는 매개효과가 나타났다. 이 결과들은 동일한 정화행위라도 행위자의 자원 가용성에 따라 도덕적 판단이 달라짐을 보여준다. 즉, 사람들은 도덕적 정화행동은 고통을 수반해야 하며 그렇지 않은 경우 그 행위는 위선적이며 용서하기 어렵다고 평가함을 알수 있다.

Existing reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings have seismic vulnerabilities because of seismically deficient details. In particular, since cumulative damage caused by successive earthquakes causes serious damage, repair/retrofit rehabilitation studies for successive earthquakes are needed. This study investigates the repair effect of fiber-reinforced polymer jacketing system for the seismically-vulnerable building structures under successive earthquakes. The repair modeling method developed and validated from the previous study was implemented to the building models. Additionally, the main parameters of the FRP jacketing system were selected as the number of FRP layers associated with the confinement effects and the installation location. To define the repair effects of the FRP jacketing system with the main parameters, this study conducted nonlinear time-history analyses for the building structural models with the various repairing scenarios. Based on this investigation, the repair effects of the damaged building structures were significantly affected by the damage levels induced from the mainshocks regardless of the retrofit scenarios.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore advanced response policies and psychological and emotional support measures for early infected people in the event of an infectious disease by analyzing the experiences of self-employed women who experienced confirmation in the early stages of the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: Data were collected through in-depth interviews with six experiences of self-employed women confirmed with COVID-19 in the early stages of the pandemic selected through the intentional sampling process, and then analyzed and interpreted through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Results: Through analyzing the meaningful statement of the study participants, several themes were identified, including “The pressure of dying from an incurable illness”, “The fear of quarantine and the fear of death”, “The difficulty of being a self-employed woman”, “The pain of social stigma”, “The driving force of one’s overcoming”, and “Expansion of perspective due to new experiences”. Conclusion: The study found that participants experienced anxiety and fear during the transfer process and admission to the facility after confirmation, due to the lack of guidance and face-to-face interactions. The non-face-to-face treatment increased their anxiety, as they could not receive accurate information about their health conditions and care. This highlights the impact of inaccurate information regarding COVID-19 and media reports focusing on severely ill patients and deaths. In addition, the study participants experienced social stigma caused by COVID-19, resulting in changes in their interpersonal relationships and life attitudes. Implications are suggested based on the results of this study.
