건축물에 가해지는 풍하중을 평가하는 방법은 과거로부터 많은 발전을 이루었다. 그 중 비교적 간단한 방법인 가스트하중계 수법이 있다. 정적풍하중에 동적계수를 곱하여 등가정적풍하중을 평가하는 방법으로 여러나라 기준에서 사용되고 있다. 동적계수는 가 스트영향계수(Gust Effect Factor:DGEF)와 가스트하중계수가(Gust Loading Factor:MGLF)가 사용된다. DGEF는 변위 기반으로서 이론 적인 가정을 통해 산출할 수 있는 반면 그 과정이 다소 복잡하고, MGLF는 모멘트를 기반으로 하며 풍동실험으로 전도모멘트를 측정 하여 산정할 수 있지만 기초자료를 구축하는 것에 많은 시간과 노력이 소요된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 MGLF 산정 시 필요한 풍방향 평균풍력계수C F, 평균전도모멘트계수C M, 변동전도모멘트계수 C M 가 다양한 형상비( ), 변장비(D/B), 지표면조도구분(α)에 따 라 변화하는 경향을 비교 분석하였다. 이를 통해 풍방향 평균풍력계수 C F, 평균전도모멘트 관련 계수 C g, 변동전도모멘트 관련 계수 C g 의 경험식을 제안하여 MGLF 산정에 대한 기초자료를 제시하였다.

To develop a functional probiotic that inhibits gingipain, a major virulence factor of Porphyromonas gingivlais (P. gingivalis), we screened over 30 probiotic strains for their ability to inhibit gingipian activity. We investigated the inhibition of expression of gingipain genes kgp, rgpA, and rgpB as well as gingipain activity, using freeze dried cell-free supernatants of Weisiella cibaria SPM402 (WC402) and Lactobacillus paracasei SMP412 (LP412), both of which demonstrated antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis. Thus, it was verified that kgp expression was reduced by approximately 0.71±0.02 folds and rgpB expression was reduced by approximately 0.71±0.14 folds at a concentration of WC402 10 mg/mL. Meanwhile, at the same concentration of 10 mg/mL of LP412, kgp expression was reduced by approximately 0.19±0.08 folds, rgpA expression was reduced by approximately 0.09±0.02 folds, and rgpB expression was reduced by approximately 0.24±0.03 folds. At a concentration of 10 mg/mL, Kgp activity was inhibited by approximately 78.65±3.58% (cell associated gingipain, CAG), 82.45±1.22% (cell-free gingipain, CFG) by WC402 and 80.71±2.11% (CAG), and 85.81±0.05% (CFG) by LP412 respectively. Rgp activity was also effectively inhibited by approximately 78.6±1.01% (CAG), 86.78±0.47% (CFG) and 82.93±1.26% (CAG), 88.81±0.36% (CFG) by WC402 and LP412 respectively. Based on these results, W. cibaria SPM402 and L. paracasei SPM412 can be regarded as functional probiotics with the ability to inhibit gingipain activity and exhibit antibacterial effects against P. gingivalis.

When the parent radionuclide decays, the progeny radionuclide is produced. Accordingly, the dose contribution of the progeny radionuclide should be considered when assessing dose. For this purpose, European Commission (EC) and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) provide weighting factors for dose coefficient. However, these weighting factors have a limitation that does not reflect the latest nuclide data. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the EC and IAEA methodology for derivation of weighting factor and used the latest nuclide data from ICRP 107 to derive weighting factors for dose coefficient. Weighting factor calculation is carried out through 1) selection of nuclide, 2) setting of evaluation period, and 3) derivation based on ICRP 107 radionuclide data. Firstly, in order to derive the weighting factor, we need to select the radionuclides whose dose contribution should be considered. If the half-life of progeny radionuclides sufficiently short compared to the parent radionuclide to achieve radioactive equilibrium, or if the dose coefficient is greater of similar to that of the parent radionuclide and cannot be ignored, the dose contribution of the progeny radionuclide should be considered. In order not to underestimate the dose contribution of progeny radionuclides, the weighting factors for the progeny nuclides are taken as the maximum activity ratio that the respective progeny radionuclides will reach during a time span of 100 years. Finally, the weighting factor can be derived by considering the radioactivity ratio and branch fraction. In order to calculate the weighting factor, decay data such as the half-life of the radionuclide, decay chain, and branch fraction are required. In this study, radionuclide data from ICRP 107 was used. As a result of the evaluation, for most radionuclides, the weighting factors were derived similarly to the existing EC and IAEA weighting factors. However, for some nuclides, the weighting factors were significantly different from EC and IAEA. This is judged to be a difference in the half-life and branch fraction of the radionuclide. For example, in the case of 95Zr, the weighting factor for 95mNb showed a 35.8% difference between this study and previous study. For ICRP 38, when 95Zr decays, the branch fraction for 95mNb is 6.98×10-3. In contrast, for ICRP 107, the branch fraction is 1.08×10-2, a difference of 54.7%. Therefore, the weighting factor for the dose coefficient based on ICRP 107 data may differ from existing studies depending on the half-life and decay information of the nuclide. This suggests the need for a weighting factor based on the latest nuclide data. The results of this study can be used as a basis for the consideration of dose contributions for progeny radionuclides in various dose assessments.

The domestic Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PWHR) nuclear power plant, Wolsong Unit 1, was permanently shut down on December 24, 2019. However, research on decommissioning has mainly focused on Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs), with a notable absence of both domestic and international experience in the decommissioning of PHWRs. If proper business management such as radiation safety and waste is not performed, it can lead to increased business risks and costs in decommissioning. Therefore, the assessment of waste volume and cost, which provide fundamental data for the nuclear decommissioning process, is a crucial technical requirement before initiating the actual decommissioning of Wolsong Unit 1. Decommissioning radiation-contaminated structures and facilities presents significant challenges due to high radiation levels, making it difficult for workers to access these areas. Therefore, technology development should precede decommissioning process assessments and safety evaluations, facilitating the derivation of optimal decommissioning procedures and ensuring worker safety while enhancing the efficiency of decommissioning operations. In this study, we have developed a program to estimate decommissioning waste amounts for PHWRs, building upon prior research on PWR decommissioning projects while accounting for the specific design characteristics of PHWRs. To evaluate the amount of radioactive waste generated during decommissioning, we considered the characteristics of radioactive waste, disposal methods, packaging container specifications, and the criteria for the transfer of radioactive waste to disposal operators. Based on the derived algorithm, we conducted a detailed design and implemented the program. The proposed program is based on 3D modeling of the decommissioning components and the calculation of the Work Difficulty Factor (WDF), which is used to determine the time weighting factors for each task. Program users can select the cutting and packaging conditions for decommissioning components, estimate waste amount based on the chosen decommissioning method, and calculate costs using time weighting factors. It can be applied not only to PHWRs, but also to PWRs and non-nuclear fields, providing a flexible tool for optimizing decommissioning process.

2022년 3월12일 제천시의 발표(구체화)에 따르면 제천지역 내 양봉 농가를 대상으로 꿀벌생육실태를 확인한 결과 전체 벌통에서 절반 수준의 꿀벌이 사라진 것을 확인하였다. 이는 이전부터 국내 남부에서 진행되어 오던 꿀벌집단실종 현상의 한계선이 지구온난화로 인해 북쪽으로 이동하고 있다고 언론에서 집중 조명된 적이 있다. 이러한 현상이 과연 한반도 온난화에 의한 것인지의 여부를 파악하고자 원인분석 및 실험을 진행하였다. 먼저 꿀벌실종이 일어난 연도와 달을 중심으로 제천지역내의 기온, 일교차, 강수, 일조량 등 다양한 환경조건 중 예전 과 비교하여 급격한 변화가 일어난 요인을 조사하였으며 이러한 급격한 변화가 일어나는 요인이 꿀벌의 집단실 종에 미칠 수 있는 가능성을 분석하였다. 다른 요인분석으로 미국, 유럽 등에서 꿀벌실종의 주요 원인으로 주목받 고 있는 네오니코티노이드계(Neonicotinoids) 살충제를 이용해 꿀벌에 미치는 영향을 실험하였으며, 생존한계 농도를 측정하였다. 또한 국내 살충제의 연도별 사용량을 간접 비교함으로써 꿀벌실종의 주요요인을 찾고자 하였다. 분석결과 충북제천 꿀벌의 실종은 기온의 상승보다는 일조량이 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 보이며, 향후 일조량에 따른 벌집내부의 온도변화 및 꿀벌의 활동성 변화에 초점을 맞추어 꿀벌실종에 대한 장기적인 상관관 계를 살펴보아야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Immune priming is an increased immunity after prior exposure to a specific pathogen as a kind of adaptive immunity and occurs in insects. However, its underlying mechanism is elusive in insects. Immune priming was detected in a lepidopteran insect, Spodoptera exigua. Prior infection with a heat-killed pathogenic bacterium, Xenorhabdus hominickii, increased survival upon the second infection of the live bacteria compared to larvae without pre-exposure. Plasma collected from larvae with the prior infection significantly up-regulated cellular and humoral immune responses compared to the similar treatment without prior exposure. However, when the active plasma exhibiting immune priming was heat-treated, it lost the priming activity, suggesting a presence of protein factor(s) in the immune priming. Lipocalin is a lipid carrier protein and is well known in vertebrates for diverse physiological functions including immunity. An apolipoprotein D3 (ApoD3) is known to be a lipocalin functioning in immune priming in a mosquito, Anopheles gambiae. A homologous ApoD3 (Se-ApoD3) was identified in S. exigua. Se-ApoD3 was expressed in all developmental stages and larvae, it was highly expressed in hemocytes. RNA interference (RNAi) of Se-ApoD3 expression was performed by injecting its specific dsRNA. The larvae treated with the RNAi were impaired in cellular and humoral immune responses. Furthermore, the plasma collected from RNAi-treated larvae lost the immune priming even at the prior exposure. These suggest that Se-ApoD3 mediates the immune priming in S. exigua.

The walking-stick insects, Ramulus mikado, are outbreaks in several mountainous areas from 2020 to 2022. In recent, some population of the insect are showed rapidly decline in their abundance, while some of them are still maintained high population density. In worldwide, insects belonging to Phasmida are reported to outbreak in their habitats as mentioned above environments, but knowledge about outbreak pattern of the walking-stick insects is still lacking. In this study, we aimed which biological and environmental factors are related to wax and wane of the insect population. From 2022 to 2023, we studied host tree preferences in natural conditions, ecological stoichiometry in major host trees, overwintering ecology of R. mikado eggs, and infection rate by entomophathogenic fungi during growing season.

Coffee has become one of the most popular beverages since the 1960s. These days, coffee is more about pleasure, experience, success, lifestyle, high concentration, and social status. Bhumiratana et al. (2014) state that individuals consume coffee with the intention of eliciting positive high-energy emotions, which can help in reducing fatigue, increasing alertness, improving work performance, and promoting a focused mental state, such as feeling motivated, productive, in-control, or clear-minded. Aguirre (2016) and Bhumiratana et al. (2014) also suggest that people drink coffee to stay awake. As coffee has popularized, café has become important as a place for people meetings. However, customers may tend to evaluate coffee as a service product depending on what service encounter they faced. They might perceive the taste and quality of coffee differently by following their mindset and stereotypes about perfect coffee. Customers pay attention to many factors in consuming coffee depending on service encounters. They may pay less for coffee prepared by robots and evaluate coffee prepared by humans as more precious. Therefore, this study proposes a specific factor theoretical framework of customers’ mindset about coffee prepared by human baristas and robot-barista. The study aims to determine how customers evaluate coffee prepared by baristas and robot-barista. Specifically, to which characteristics they pay attention in barista or robot-barista cases. Then, the study examines relationship between expected and perceived coffee characteristics and intentions to revisit café. Finally, the study compares customers' expectations about coffee depending on contact (barista) or untact (robot-barista) service.

Existing studies report that social media influencers’ number of followers is a determinant of their influence. However, not every consumer follows an influencer with a high number of followers. Therefore, differences in individual characteristics should be considered in the effectiveness of influencer marketing. This study draws on the cultural dimensional theory to examine the moderating role of consumers’ cultural values at the individual level in the effects of social media influencers with many followers. The results show that the relationship between social media influencer follower count and brand reputation depends on the cultural values of individual consumers. This study makes certain contributtions to the advancement of research on influencer marketing and cultural values by identifying the different impact of follower account of social media influencers with many influencers.

목적 : 이 연구의 목적은 지역사회 거주 노인의 자서전적 기억 기능 수준을 측정하고, 자서전적 기억 기능 과 회상기능, 회복탄력성과의 상관관계를 분석하는 것이다. 연구방법 : 60세 이상의 인지적⋅정신적으로 건강한 지역사회 거주 노인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시했다. 자서전적 기억 기능, 회복탄력성, 회상기능을 측정하기 위해 각각 한국형 자서전적 기억 기능 평가 척도, 한국형 코너-데이비드슨 탄력성 척도, 노인 회상기능 척도를 적용하였다. 변수 간의 상관관계 분석을 위 해 피어슨 상관관계분석과 위계적 회귀분석을 적용하였다. 결과 : 분석 대상자의 평균연령은 73.14세(Standard Deviation; SD = 7.59)였다 (n = 121). 자서전적 기억의 기능적 사용 평균은 1.99점(SD = 0.72) 이었다. 자서전적 기억 기능은 나이가 들어감에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다(p = .32). 자서전적 기억 기능과 노인 회상기능은 통계적으로 유의한 정적 상 관관계를 보였다(p < .001). 위계적 회귀분석 결과, 사회인구학적 특성과 건강 특성을 통제하고도 자서 전적 기억 기능은 회복 탄력성과 통계적으로 유의한 정적 상관관계를 보였고(β = 0.229, p < .05), 회 복 탄력성에 대한 자서전적 기억 기능의 설명력은 4.2% 였다. 결론 : 자서전적 기억 기능은 회복탄력성 관련 인자로 확인되었다. 자서전적 기억의 기능적 사용이 노인의 건강 에 미치는 유익에 대한 근거를 강화하기 위해서는 우울집단이나 인지저하집단과 같은 보다 다양한 건강수준의 샘플을 대상으로 자서전적 기억 기능을 측정하고 건강변수와의 관계를 밝히는 추후연구가 필요하다.

본 연구는 대구·경북 우량 산림습원의 관속식물을 확인하고 과거 연구와 비교 분석하고자 2020년 6월부터 2022년 11월까지 현장조사를 수행하였 다. 출현한 관속식물은 119과 427속 741종 64변종 21아종 8품종 1교잡종 등 총 835분류군을 확인하였다. 희귀식물은 총 16분류군(멸종위기종(EN) 1분류군, 취약종(VU) 1분류군, 준위협(NT) 8분류군 및 데이터부족(DD) 6분류군)이다. 특산식물은 총 23분류군이며 습지식물은 172분류군, 신귀화 식물은 47분류군을 확인하였다. 기존 연구(2017년~2018년)에 비해 습지식물의 비율은 23.01%에서 20.60%로 감소하였고, 귀화율은 4.29%에서 5.63%로, 도시화지수는 8.59%에서 14.42%로 증가하였다. 이차건생초지를 구성하는 식물의 비율이 늘어나 습원은 점차 육화가 진행되고 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 변화 요인은 산림습원으로의 접근성과 수계시스템에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다. 토양의 경운, 산림 내 수원의 감소 등으로 육상식물의 유입이 증가하면서 산림습원으로서의 기능이 점차 저하되고 있음을 확인하였다. 그리고 산림습원을 보전하기 위해 보호지역의 지정 등을 통한 방법을 고려할 필요가 있다.

13세기부터 15세기까지 양식적 변화와 이를 설명하는 미술에 대한 문헌들은 공방의 협 업에서 미술가 개인에 대한 관심으로 변화되고 있는 상황을 반영한다. 교회 미술처럼 장소와 미술품이 밀접한 관계를 지닐 때, 공방의 작업과 미술가 개인의 작업은 다르다는 점에서 표 현에 대한 접근 방식도 변화되었다. 이런 점은 공방의 문화를 다루었던 첸니노 첸니니와 미 술의 원리를 다루며 개인의 선택으로서 표현을 다루는 알베르티의 색채에 대한 접근 방식을 통해서 확인할 수 있다. 첸니니는 원색에 흰색을 추가해서 명암을 표현했다면, 알베르티는 검정-원색-흰색을 통해 명암을 표현한다. 장소를 매개로 공간 속에서 미술가의 표현을 조절 해야 하는 공방의 입장은 미술가 개인의 역량을 드러내기 위해 새로운 시도를 진행하고자 하는 입장과 다르기 때문이다. 미술품과 장소의 관계는 15세기 이후 이론이 미술에 대한 담 론을 주도하는 경우에도 새로운 이질적 표현을 살펴볼 수 있다는 점도 확인할 수 있다. 이 시기 교회 미술의 사례를 살펴보는 과정에서 장소와 미술품의 관계는 양식의 변화를 이해하 는 데 중요한 요인이며, 동시에 이론에 바탕을 둔 이론적 관점에서 벗어나는 새로운 시도를 이해하는 데 도움이 된다.

The Derived Concentration Guideline Level (DCGL) using RESRAD code is generally obtained for the reuse of the site and remaining buildings of the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. At this time, the evaluation first considers wide DCGL assuming homogenous contamination for the entire target site. The DCGL derived through this will be compared with the actual contamination measured at the Final Status Survey (FSS) stage to determine whether the site is compliance with criteria. Guidelines for Survey units are presented in MARSSIM and suggested in Class 1 through 3. Therefore, DCGL for the survey unit of a certain smaller area is established by applying a correction factor from wide DCGL, which is define as an Area Factor (AF). Therefore, this study reviewed the AF applied in overseas cases, reviewed the necessary factors for derivation, and compared them by applying factors to the preliminary experimental target area for domestic nuclear installations. The AF is the ratio of the dose from the base-case contaminated area to the dose from a smaller contaminated area with the same radioactive concentration. To this end, an unrestricted resident farmer scenario was applied as the site reuse scenario, which deals with all exposure pathways considered in the RESRAD. The potential exposure pathways considered in resident farmer scenarios are largely divided into external and internal exposures, which are based on NUREG/CR-5512. In addition, in order to calculate the AF, a change in the contaminated area occurs, and accordingly, a variable that varies according to the area, i.e., length parallel to aquifer flow (LCZPAQ), the contaminated fraction of plant food ingested (FPLANT), the contaminated fraction of meat and milk (FMEAT and FMILK), is accompanied. As the contamination area decreases, these variables decrease, and the criteria for reduction were reflected through overseas cases. In this study, three nuclides (C-14, Co-60, and Cs-137) were assumed as representative nuclides, and the area of the contaminated site was selected as 50,000 m2 and reduced at a certain rate. As a result, each nuclide showed different characteristics, but in general, AF increases as the area decreases. Compared to the area of this study, AF values were calculated to be smaller than those of overseas cases, but it was confirmed that the area of the values showed similar patterns. In addition, in the case of C-14, the slope of AF increased rapidly as the area decreased, while Co-60 and Cs-137 showed similar slopes.

With rapid urbanization, the importance of urban warfare is increasing, and it is also required to reflect the characteristics of cities in wargame models. However, in the military's wargame models, the urbanization factor was calculated and used without theoretical basis. In this study, we investigate techniques for estimating the urbanization factor using Fractal dimension theory. The urbanization factor we propose can suggest a logical and valid representative value when used in conjunction with Agent Based Model and other methodologies.
