Background: Patients who underwent rotator cuff repair (RCR) require management to control pain and prevent re tear and stiffness. Thoracic mobilization has been applied for the improvement of vertebra and shoulder movements and pain reduction. Also, core stability exercise is an intervention necessary for rehabilitation after shoulder surgery. Objectives: To examine the short term benefits of thoracic mobilization and core stability exercise for patients after RCR. Design: Randomized controlled trial with multi arm parallel group and single blind assessor. Methods: 30 participants after RCR were recruited. Participants were categorized into conventional physical therapy (CPT) group, thoracic mobilization (TM) group, and core stability exercise (CSE) group according to the randomization program. Each treatment, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimuli (TENS), TM, and CSE was applied to each group. 3 physical therapists only conducted evaluations; VAS (visual analogue scale), ROM (range of motion), and Korean version of Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). Results: VAS and SPADI were statistically reduced, and ROM was statistically improved in all 3 groups. In between three group comparisons of changes in outcome variables, there was not a significant difference in VAS, but there was a significant difference in ROM and SPADI. In the post hoc test, ROM and SPADI showed a significant difference in TM and CSE compared to CPT. Conclusion: TM according to Maitland concept and CSE had beneficial effects compared to CPT in patients after RCR.

우리나라는 여러 건의 여객선 사고를 겪으면서, 여객선 안전관리를 위해 다양한 제도를 운영하고 있다. 2021년 기준 우리나라 연안을 운항하는 여객선 162척 중, 차량갑판이 개방된 형태의 차도선이 105척(65 %)을 차지하고 있다. 차도선은 2～4개의 섬을 경유하는 운항 패턴을 가지고 있다. 출항지(모항)에서 안전점검은 선원과 운항관리실의 운항감독관, 해사안전감독관에 의해 실시된다. 경유지에서 의 안전점검은 자체점검이 실시되는 경우가 있다. 여느 제도와 마찬가지로 제도적, 현실적 한계 등이 있다. 이를 위해 영상처리기법을 활 용하여 차량을 검출하고 이를 선박 복원성 계산과 연동하는 방안을 제안하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 차량 검출을 위해 차영상을 이용 하는 방법과 기계학습을 이용하는 방법을 사용하였다. 검출된 데이터를 선박 복원성 계산에 활용하였다. 기계학습을 통해 차량을 검출하 는 경우, 차영상에 의한 차량 검출 방법보다 차량 식별에 안정적임을 알 수 있었다. 다만, 카메라가 일몰과 같은 상황에서 역광을 받는 경 우와 야간과 같은 상황에서 부두와 선박 내부의 강한 조명에 의해 차량이 식별되지 않는 한계가 있었다. 안정적인 영상처리를 위해 충분 한 영상 데이터 확보와 프로그램 고도화가 필요해 보인다.

COVID-19 대유행으로 인해 병원, 진료소, 검역소 및 의료 연구 기관을 포함한 의료 시설에서 매일 수많은 의료 폐기물이 발생함에 따라 의료폐기물 처리가 심각한 문제가 되고 있다. 이전에는 전통적인 소각방법이 사용되었지만 매립지 부족 및 관련 환경 문제로 인 해 공중 보건이 위험에 처해 있다. 이런 문제를 극복하기 위해 멸균분쇄용 파쇄기를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 유해 및 감염성 의료폐 기물에 대한 작동 성능을 결정하기 위해 분쇄용 파쇄 시스템의 설계 및 수치해석을 수행하였다. 파쇄기의 부품은 CAD 소프트웨어를 이용하여 모델링하였으며, ABAQUS를 사용하여 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 정적, 동적 및 피로하중 조건 하에서 파쇄기 절단 날의 해석을 수행하였으며, 의료 폐기물을 분쇄하는데 필요한 절단력을 기반으로 절단 날의 형상이 효과적임을 입증하였다. 모달 해석을 통해 구조물의 동적 안정성을 검증하였다. 또한, 절단 날의 수명을 예측하기 위해 고주기 피로해석을 통해 S-N 선도를 생성하였다. 이 를 통해 적절한 분쇄용 파쇄 시스템이 멸균 장치와 통합되도록 설계하여 의료 폐기물의 양과 처리 시간을 줄임으로써 환경 문제와 잠 재적인 건강 위험을 극복하는 방안을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 생분해성 용기 개발의 연구성이 대두됨에 따 라서 동물성 재료로 제조한 생분해성 용기의 개발의 목적에 있다. 연구 결과 돈피, 우피, 닭피에 있어서 돈피가 우수한 수율과 단백질 분자량을 가진 것으로 나타났다. 이에 돈피를 이용하여 생분해 용기를 개발하였으며, 단면적 확인 결과 호두 껍질 분말 10%를 첨가한 처리구에서 적은 공극을 보였으며, 호두 껍질 분말 20%를 첨가한 처리구에서 공극의 크기가 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 물성 연구 결과 호두 껍질 분말 10% 처리구가 더 높은 경도를 나타 내었으며, 호두 껍질 분말 20% 처리구가 더 높은 탄력성을 나타내었다. 압축강도는 호두 껍질 분말 20% 처리구가 더 높은 값을 나타내었다. General bacteria, E. coli 연구 결과 모든 일자에서 불검출되어 미생물로부터의 안정성은 더 장기간으로 실험해볼 필요가 있을 것으로 보인다. 또한 높은 항균 능력과 생분해능의 결과를 보여 저장 기간의 안정성이 높은 용기의 개발과 환경의 영향을 최소화 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 돈피 젤라틴에 난각과 호두 껍질 분말을 넣어 제조한 생분해성 용기의 개발의 기초 데이터로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Driving safety of a semi-trailer is greatly reduced when driving in a section with a narrow turning radius, so a dynamic study of driving and road conditions is required. In this study, the driving stability of the semi-trailer was investigated using the RecurDyn program in consideration of the velocity and weight of the semi-trailer in the entrance curve section of the highway, and the turning angle and radius of the curved road. In order to select the model and analysis conditions according to the road type, the sloping curved road was modeled by selecting the curvature, entry length, height difference, and entrance angle of the curved section. From the analysis results, the higher the semi-trailer's entrance velocity, the heavier the weight, the narrower the entrance angle of the curved road, and the smaller the curvature, the greater the semi-trailer's maximum running angular speed which had an effect on driving stability.

This is the research report concerned with the new stability concept and designing the controller of the time periodic systems. The periodic systems which is governed by time is very common in various type of dynamic systems. For example, the satellite is the large scale and the experimental test equipment as pendulum is also time periodic systems. The motion of the systems during the time interval is running repeatedly. While this periodic systems is running, the dynamic stability is important to behave the appropriate motion of the system's function. This research propose the new stability approach based on Lyapunov theorem which is analyzing the system's stability adapting the specific energy function. And also this research introduces the developing numerical procedures to retain the stability of time periodic system. Finally, the result of this research is very useful to judge the stability and design the controller of time periodic system.

한반도 남해안 지역의 여름철 대기 안정도 특성을 분석함으로써, 한반도 특성에 맞는 강수 예측을 위한 대기 안정도 지수의 정량적인 임계값을 도출하고자 하였다. 보성 표준기상관측소에서 관측한 2019년도 여름철 라디오존데 집중관측자료를 분석에 사용하였으며, 총 관측자료는 243개이다. 강수 유무 및 중규모 대기 현상에 대한 대기 안정도를 분석하기 위해서, 대류가용잠재에너지(Convective Available Potential Energy, CAPE)와 폭풍지수(Storm Relative Helicity, SRH)를 비교하였으며 특히 SRH 분석은 고도별로 총 4개의 층으로(0-1, 0-3, 0-6, 0-10 km) 세분화하였다. 강수 유무에 따른 분석은 강수가 없는 경우, 강수발생 전 12시간, 강수 발생 시로 구분하여 수행하였다. 그 결과, 2019년도 보성에서 발생한 여름철 강수 예측에는 CAPE 보다 SRH가 더 적합하며 0-6 km SRH가 약한 토네이도가 발생 가능한 기준과 같은 150 m 2 s−2 이상일 경우 강수가 발생한 것으로 분석 된다. 또한, 장마와 태풍 기간의 대기 안정도를 분석한 결과를 보면, 일반적으로 SRH는 대기 깊이가 두꺼워질수록 값이 커지는데 반해서 0-10 km SRH 평균값 보다 0-6 km 의 SRH 값이 더 크게 나타났다. 따라서, 2019년도 보성에서 발생한 태풍에 의한 강수를 판별하는 데는 0-6 km 의 SRH 값이 더 효과적이라고 할 수 있다.

This study was conducted to estimate the effect of different cutting lengths on fermentation characteristics and aerobic stability of whole crop rice (WCR) silage. The WCR was harvested at the yellow ripe stage (43.7%, DM), and then cut at 5 (R05), 10 (R10), and 20 cm (R20) of the theoretical length of cut with no cut WCR (R60). Each forage was ensiled into 20 L mini bucket silo (5 kg) for 150 days in quadruplicates. The cutting lengths were not affected the chemical compositions of WCR silage (p > 0.05). The pH (p < 0.001) and concentration of ammonia-N (p = 0.022) in WCR silage were increased linearly with the increase of cutting length. The concentration of lactate had quadratic effect (p = 0.007), which was highest in R20 silage (p < 0.05). The concentration of acetate was increased linearly (p = 0.014), but the concentration of butyrate was decreased linearly (p = 0.033). The lactic acid bacteria count was decreased linearly (p = 0.017), and yeast count had quadratic effect (p = 0.009), which was the highest in R20 silage (p < 0.05). Aerobic stability had strong quadratic effect (p < 0.001), which was the highest in R20 silage (p < 0.05). In conclusion, R60 silage had highest pH by a linear increase of ammonia-N concentration and led to low aerobic stability. While R20 silage had the lowest pH by high lactate concentration and led to high aerobic stability.

Background: The CKCUES test evaluates the functional performance of the shoulder joint. The CKCUES test scores CKC exercises of the upper limbs to examine shoulder stability. Although the CKCUES test provides quantitative data on functional ability and performance, no study has determined the relationship between CKCUES scores and SA and TB muscle strength. Objects: The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between the CKCUES test scores and the strength of the SA and TB muscles in the CKCUES and unilateral CKCUES tests. Methods: Sixty-six healthy male volunteers participated in the study. A Smart KEMA strength sensor measured SA and TB muscle strength. Two parallel lines on the floor indicated the initial hand placement to start CKCUES tests. For 15 seconds, the subject raises one hand and reaches over to touch the supporting hand, then returns to the starting position. Results: The correlation between the CKCUES test scores and the strength of the SA was strong (r = 0.650, p < 0.001), and the TB was moderate (r = 0.438, p < 0.001). The correlation between the unilateral CKCUES test and the strength of the SA of the supporting side was strong (r = 0.605, p < 0.001), and swing side was strong (r = 0.681, p < 0.001). The correlation between the unilateral CKCUES test and the strength of the TB of the supporting side was moderate (r = 0.409, p < 0.001), and swing side was moderate (r = 0.482, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our study showed that the CKCUES test had a strong association with isometric strength of SA and moderate association with that of TB. These findings suggest that the CKCUES test can evaluate the function of the SA. Moreover, the unilateral CKCUES test can evaluate unilateral shoulder function.

Background: While the formal test has been used to provide a quantitative measurement of core stability, studies have reported inconsistent results regarding its test-retest and intraobserver reliabilities. Furthermore, the validity of the formal test has never been established. Objects: This study aimed to establish the concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of the formal test. Methods: Twenty-two young adults with and without core instability (23.1 ± 2.0 years) were recruited. Concurrent validity was determined by comparing the muscle thickness changes of the external oblique, internal oblique, and transverse abdominal muscle to changes in core stability pressure during the formal test using ultrasound (US) imaging and pressure biofeedback, respectively. For the test-retest reliability, muscle thickness and pressure changes were repeatedly measured approximately 24 hours apart. Electromyography (EMG) was used to monitor trunk muscle activity during the formal test. Results: The Pearson’s correlation analysis showed an excellent correlation between transverse abdominal thickness and pressure biofeedback unit (PBU) pressure as well as internal oblique thickness and PBU pressure, ranging from r = 0.856–0.980, p < 0.05. The test-retest reliability was good, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC1,2) = 0.876 for the core stability pressure measure and ICC1,2 = 0.939 to 0.989 for the abdominal muscle thickness measure. Conclusion: Our results provide clinical evidence that the formal test is valid and reliable, when concurrently incorporated into EMG and US measurements.
