Comprehending the prevailing ideals of the body within a specific era requires grasping the intricate interplay between social phenomena and the evolution of clothing. Accordingly, this study investigates the distinctive facets of the perception of the Neo-Confucian body as reflected in men’s dress during the Joseon Dynasty. We examine a comprehensive body of scholarship, literature, and historical records concerning the body and dress. Additionally, we also employ a framework developed by M. Y. Kim, which categorizes the Neo-Confucian body in three ways: as the natural body, the cultural body, and the body as a fully-realized moral subject. Our findings unveil three crucial insights: firstly, guided by Neo-Confucian discourse positing appearance as a manifestation of innate energy (氣), men’s dress was deliberately designed to demarcate stylistic distinctions in women’s dress; secondly, the Chinese gwan (冠) was employed as a tool of self-cultivation (修身) to symbolize the legitimacy of Joseon’s Neo-Confucian governance; and thirdly, sim-ui (深衣), a philosophical emblem of Confucianism extensively represented across through an intensified exploration of historical sources, served as a means to consolidate the political standing of the Neo-Confucian faction. As a consequence of these factors, the attire of noble men conferred upon them both sexual and moral ascendancy as political entities; men’s dress became a visual manifestation of the legitimacy of their power, thus embodying Neo-Confucian ideals. This study carries significance by applying a discourse analysis approach to Korean dress research and elucidating the factors underlying the development of men’s dress during the Joseon Dynasty.

In this study, changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast and extruded Al-2Li-1Ce alloy materials were investigated as the Mg content was varied. The density decreased to 2.485, 2.46 and 2.435 g/cm3 when the Mg content in the Al-2Li-1Ce alloy was increased to 2, 4 and 6 wt%, respectively. Intermetallic compounds of Al11Ce3 were observed in all alloys, while the β-phase of Al3Mg2 was observed in alloys containing 6 wt% of Mg. In the extruded material, with increasing Mg content the average grain size decreased to 84.8, 71.6 and 36.2 μm, and the fraction of high-angle grain boundaries (greater than 15°) increased to 82.8 %, 88.6 %, and 91.8 %, respectively. This occurred because the increased Mg content promotes dynamic recrystallization during hot extrusion. Tensile test results showed that as the Mg content increased, both the yield strength and tensile strength increased. The yield strength reached 86.1, 107.3, and 186.4 MPa, and the tensile strength reached 215.2, 285, and 360.5 MPa, respectively. However, it is worth noting that the ductility decreased to 27.78 %, 25.65 %, and 20.72 % as the Mg content increased. This reduction in ductility is attributed to the strengthening effect resulting from the increased amount of dissolved Mg, and grain refinement due to dynamic recrystallization.

비브리오패혈증균은 세계에서 치사율이 50%에 달하는 가장 치명적인 수인성식품매개 병원균으로 해수에서 흔히 있으며, 특히 따뜻한 계절에 발생한다. 본 연구는 제주도 의 해수, 유통 수산물, 수족관물에서 분리한 비브리오패혈 증균에 대해서 RT-PCR을 이용한 독소 유전자, Vitek을 이 용한 항생제 내성, PFGE를 이용한 유전적 특성을 조사하 였다. 총 487개의 시료를 조사한 결과 비브리오패혈증균 46주(중복 균주 포함)가 해수에서 44주, 유통수산물에서 1 주, 수족관물에서 1주 분리되었다. rtxA, viu와 같은 독소 유전자는 각각 8주(17.4%), 9주(19.6%) 검출되었고, vvhA 와 같은 독소 유전자는 모든 균주에서 검출되었다. 항생 제 내성 실험결과 cefoxitin 항상제에 대해서 100% 내성 이 나타났다. 비브리오패혈증균 46주에 대한 PFGE 분석결과 총 6유형이 100% 상동성을 보였고, 유사도는 81.3- 98.0%로 나타났다. 수산물과 수족관물에서 분리된 비브리 오패혈증균은 해수와의 상동성 결과 유사도는 불일치로 나타났고 지역과 시료 사이에는 유사성이 없었다. 독소 유 전자를 가진 비브리오패혈증균에 의한 식중독 환자가 제 주도에서 발생한 점을 고려해볼 때, 해수, 유통 수산물, 수 족관물에서 분리한 비브리오패혈증균에 대한 모니터링이 지속되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

This study examines the correlation between livestock odor civil petitions and the establishment of malodor control areas in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, focusing on swine farms where numerous civil petitions regarding malodors have been received. After the designation of the malodor control areas, high odor concentrations occurred in Aewoleup and Jocheon-eup, and the odor concentration decreased in other areas. The number of civil petitions shows a consistent annual trend, with increased petitions from March, peaking during summer (July and August), and decreasing from September into winter. In Jeju-si, there were many civil petitions in Hallim-eup and Aewol-eup where there were many malodor control areas. However, in Seogwipo-si, there were also many civil petitions in Pyoseonmyeon, where there is no malodor control area. Additionally, we compared the average multiple of compound malodors and the rate of exceeding the maximum allowable emission level for compound malodors with the number of livestock malodor civil petitions to assess the actual state of malodors. The results reveal a stronger correlation between the number of civil petitions and the rate of exceeding the compound malodors allowable emission level than the average multiple for compound malodors. These findings provide valuable insights into addressing livestock odor concerns and enhancing malodor control measures in Jeju Island.

V. parahaemolyticus causes waterborne and foodborne disease such as acute diarrhea. In this study, V. parahaemolyticus isolates from seawater, fish tanks, and distributed fishery products in Jeju were investigated for potential toxin or species-specific genes (tdh, trh, tlh, and toxR) using RT-PCR and their genetic characteristics were analyzed using Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Overall, V. parahaemolyticus of 90 strains (36.7%), including 33 strains from seawater, 8 strains from fish tanks, and 50 strains from fishery products, were isolated from 245 samples. All V. parahaemolyticus strains did not detect the tdh gene, whereas all strains detected tlh or toxR genes. In addition, trh genes were detected in 3 strains from seawater and 1 strain from fishery products. Monthly quantitative testing of seawater revealed that V. parahaemolyticus was positively correlated with water temperature. The 90 strains of V. parahemolyticus obtained in this study showed by gene homology between types, ranging from 64.0–97.3%. Among these, thirteen types showed 100% homology between genes. These results indicate that continuous monitoring is needed to facilitate food poisoning epidemiological investigations because some isolated V. parahaemolyticus strains harbored toxin genes and V. parahaemolyticus strains isolated from seawater, fish tanks, and distributed fishery products showed genetic similarity.

FT-IR, GC/MS, and ATR-FT-IR analyses were performed to confirm the physicochemical characteristics of saw palmetto fruit (SPF) extract. FT-IR analysis of the standard product showed that the band corresponding to the carbonyl bond of free fatty acid was stronger than the band of acyl-glyceride. Sample E was identified as having the same trend as the standard sample. Fatty acid composition analysis revealed that the main fatty acids in the standard sample were lauric acid and oleic acid. The content of lauric acid ranged from approximately 30% to 38% in samples B, C, D, and E, while the content of oleic acid ranged from approximately 29% to 34%. The GC/MS analysis confirmed that the standard SPF extract consisted of fatty acids and fatty acid ethyl esters. Sample E demonstrated a similar pattern to the standard samples in terms of oleic acid, lauric acid, and fatty acid esters. ATR-FT-IR analysis indicated that only sample E was predicted to contain 100% saw palmetto extract. Therefore, these study findings can be considered fundamental data for analyzing the physicochemical characteristics of the composition of SPF extract.

본 연구에서는 첫째, 국제표준에서 규정한 형광직물과 재귀반사 소재에, 아동들이 선호하는 동물의 문양을 재귀반 사 필름과 검정색 직물로 디자인하여 부착한, 2벌의 안전의복과 안전조끼를 제작하였다. 둘째, 야간에 주변광원이 없어도 원거리에서 생체를 인지할 수 있도록 안전의복에 스마트 포토닉 디바이스를 장착함으로써, 어린이들이 어두 운 때 버튼 원터치만으로 상황에 따라 3가지 발광이 가능하도록 구현하였다. 제작한 스마트 안전의복을 마네킹에 착용시켜 주야간의 시인성을 비교한 결과, 시인성의 차이가 야간에 확연히 나타났는데, 기존의 안전의복 착용 시에 는 주변광원 없이는 착용자가 표출되지 않은 반면, 스마트 안전의복 착용 시는 약 70m의 원거리에서도 표출됨을 확인하였다. 따라서 야간이나 기상악화 시에 주행하는 운전자가 원거리에서 생체를 인지할 수 있어 교통사고나 도로상의 안전사고 예방에 기여할 것으로 기대된다. 셋째, 광섬유의 발광기능 안정성 유지와 발광시간의 연장을 위하여 에너지 소진 시 태양전지로 수확한 전기에너지를 사용함으로써, 장시간 안정되게 광섬유 발광이 가능하여 시인성의 안정성을 확인할 수 있었다. 이로써 스마트 포토닉 안전의복은 야간 작업자용으로도 활용 가능함이 증명되었다. 그 러므로 광섬유 안전의복은 태양전지에 의한 에너지 하베스팅 적용으로 안정적인 충전에 의해 실생활뿐만 아니라 어 두운 산업현장에서도 착용 가능성이 높을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: This study explored life experiences and meaning attributed to them by older men living alone during the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: Data were collected from June to July 2022 through face-to-face in-depth interviews with 14 older men living alone and analyzed using the thematic analysis method suggested by Braun and Clarke. Results: The analysis revealed four themes and eight subthemes. 1) Unfamiliar daily life faced in old age due to COVID-19; 2) living a difficult life in a stopped society; 3) a life of constant effort amid change; and 4) daily life adjusting to the new normal amid regret. The participants volunteered to be secluded to adapt to their changed daily life in an isolated society, which led to depression. As time passed, they tried to adapt to their new daily lives by communicating untactfully to shorten their physical distance. Conclusion: This study suggests that it is necessary to understand socially vulnerable classes in national disaster situations and the need for various policies to respond to social isolation. In the future, developing an intervention that allows older men living alone to actively adapt to a changing society and verify its effectiveness is necessary.

Vulnerable populations in healthcare facilities are more sensitive to exposure to indoor air pollutants, and therefore are more affected by such pollutants than the general population. This was the underlying reason why studies of indoor air pollutant concentration distribution and health risk assessment have been conducted targeting facilities, such as daycare centers, medical facilities, elderly care facilities, and postnatal care centers. However, previous studies have mainly focused on daycare and medical facilities for their research, and relatively speaking, studies conducted on the other venues are lacking. Therefore, this study aims to present the current status of indoor air quality and perform a health risk assessment in regard to Formaldehyde exposure at postnatal care centers and elderly care facilities. Here, the study focused on facilities that had undergone pollution level inspections from January 2017 to December 2021. A total of 81 postnatal care centers and 48 elderly care facilities were selected as the subject of the study. Then, the study utilized concentrations of five elements (CO2, HCHO, PM10, PM2.5, TBC) to determine the status of indoor air quality of both postnatal care centers and elderly care facilities. For health risk assessment, HCHO concentration was used. The investigation demonstrated that the yearly average concentration of the five elements stood within the indoor air quality maintenance standards, and the ratio of PM2.5 to PM10 in the two types of facilities was distributed as high as about 70%. In addition, the study showed that HCHO and TBC demonstrated a positive correlation when the relationship between indoor temperature and humidity with the five elements was examined. The health risk assessment showed that the cancer risk level of postnatal care center users stood below 10-6, below the level that is perceived as an acceptable risk. The cancer risk of workers from both postnatal care centers and elderly care facilities and elderly care facility users exceeded the acceptable risk level of 10-6, but was shown to be below 10-4, the maximum acceptable risk.

본 연구에서는 자외선 살균기의 미생물 오염 상태를 분 석하고 위생관리 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 실험에 사 용된 자외선 살균기는 전라남도 소재 일부 보육시설 98곳 의 자외선 살균기를 대상으로 하였다. 일반세균 및 대장 균군은 식품공전 미생물 시험법에 따라 실험하였다. 일반 세균은 98개 보육시설 중 67개소(68.4%), 대장균군은 5개 소(5.1%)에서 검출되었다. 식중독세균 실험 결과 Salmonella spp. 등 6종의 식중독세균은 검출되지 않았지만 B. cereus 는 98개 보육시설 중 1개소(2.8%)에서 검출되었다. 자외선 램프 교체 주기에 따른 일반세균 검출율은 3개월 이내 가 6개 보육시설 중 3개소(50%), 3개월 이상 6개월 이내 가 5개 보육시설 중 3개소(60%), 6개월 이상이 87개 보육 시설 중 61개소(70.1%)로 나타났다. 대장균군 검출율은 6 개월 이내에는 검출되지 않았으나 6개월 이상이 87개 보 육시설 중 5개소(5.7%)로 나타났다. 자외선 살균기의 미 생물 오염도는 램프 교체 주기가 길어질수록 미생물 오염 도가 높게 나타났다. 또한 자외선 램프 교체 주기가 6개 월 이상인 87개 보육시설 중 23개소(26.4%)의 자외선 살 균기 반사판에는 물기가 있고 청소상태가 불량한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 종합해 볼 때 보육시설에서 사 용 중인 자외선 살균기의 위생관리를 위해 주기적인 청소 와 자외선 램프 교체가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 보 육시설 급식담당자들에게 자외선 살균기 청결과 램프 교 체에 대한 지속적인 교육이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.

Perilla plant is a special crop that is used as oilseed and food in Korea. Root lesion nematodes have caused great damage to perilla plants, so for effective management of root lesion nematodes, it is necessary to understand their ecology in perilla. In this study, we investigated the effect of temperature in the development of Pratylenchus penetrans (Pp) and Pratylenchus vulnus (Pv) when the nematodes infected the perilla plant. To estimate the effect of temperature, we assessed the reproduction factor (RF); final population/initial population (Pf/Pi) of these two nematode species. We used perilla plants as inoculated hosts and investigated the density of nematodes at 10 weeks after inoculation. As a result, the RF of Pp was highest at 20°C (0.41 (1st test), 2.2 (2nd test)) followed by 25, 30, and 15°C. The RF of Pv was highest at 30°C (9.84 (1st test), 31.39 (2nd test)), followed by 25, 20, and 15°C. Comparing the RF by temperature between Pp and Pv, Pv was higher than Pp at all temperatures used in the test. This study showed the optimal development temperature of Pp was 20-25°C and Pv was 30°C, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of root zone temperatures (RZT) on the germination of bell peppers and tomatoes. Bell peppers and tomatoes had the highest germination rates (85% and 90%, respectively) at 25oC air temperature. Besides, the first germination of bell peppers was shifted by one day ahead. Bell peppers had the highest germination rate of 72,100, and 100%, respectively, when the RZT was adjusted to 30oC at airtemperature of 20, 25, and 30oC, and when the air temperature was adjusted to 35oC, the germination rate was the highest (70%) when the RZT was 15oC. Tomatoes had the highest germination rate at 20oC of the RZT at all atmospheric temperatures. A local cooling and heating system was established to improve the germination rate by controlling the RZT during the low and high temperature period. The optimum RZT for seedlings during the low and high temperature period was investigated.

This study was conducted to evaluate quality and anthocyanin content of ‘Tarocco’ orange fruit in order to support early harvest. Harvest times were set at 280 days after anthesis (DAA), 300 DAA, and 320 DAA (conventional harvest). The fruits were classified as those having an intense reddish color or a yellowish orange color in the rind. The fruits were stored during 45 days at 8oC, for low temperature storage, or 18oC, for room temperature storage in winter. The changes in the fruit quality were measured at 15-days interval. The reddish rind fruit had slightly higher sugar content than the orange fruits with yellowish rind, but had similar acidity. A sugar content of 13.0 oBrix or more was recorded for fruits harvested 280 DAA with 45 days of low-temperature storage. A similar finding was recorded after 15 days of low temperature storage for the fruits harvested 300 DAA with 30 days for the conventional harvest. The anthocyanin content was higher for fruits with later harvest time (37.8 mg·L-1) and longer storage period in both low and winter room temperatures (25.2-53 mg·L-1 and 10.3-51.9 mg·L-1, respectively). For all harvest periods, the peel and juice color intensity increased after 15 days of low temperature storage and remained constant regardless of the storage temperature. The result indicated that the fruit quality and anthocyanin content of fruits harvested 300 DAA was better than fruits harvested 320 DAA (conventional harvest), stored 15 days at 8oC or 30 days at 18oC after harvesting 300 DAA.

This research investigated how adding Sb (0.75, 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 wt%) to as-extruded aluminum alloys affected their microstructure, mechanical properties, electric and thermal conductivity. The addition of Sb resulted in the formation of AlSb intermetallic compounds. It was observed that intermetallic compounds in the alloys were distributed homogenously in the Al matrix. As the content of Sb increased, the area fraction of intermetallic compounds increased. It can be clearly seen that the intermetallic compounds were crushed into fine particles and homogenously arrayed during the extrusion process. As the Sb content increased, the average grain size decreased remarkably from 282.6 μm (0.75 wt%) to 109.2 μm (5.0 wt%) due to dynamic recrystallization by the dispersed intermetallic compounds in the aluminum matrix during the hot extrusion. As the Sb content increased from 0.75 to 2.0 wt%, the electrical conductivity decreased from 61.0 to 59.8 % of the International Annealed Copper Standard. Also, as the Sb content increased from 0.75 to 2.0 wt%, the ultimate tensile strength did not significantly change, from 67.3 to 67.8 MPa.
