The purpose of this study was to derive the conditions for manufacturing rice porridge with optimum properties after reheating. The characteristics of rice porridge according to the soaking time, water addition rate, heating temperature, heating time, and cooling conditions were compared using the ‘Samkwang’ cultivar. In Step Ⅰ, as the heating temperature increased, the weight change decreased and the viscosity increased, and the temperature known as the main factor of the gelatinization also appeared to affect the viscosity increase. In Step Ⅱ, the viscosity and the texture properties was not significantly different as the soaking time was reduced, and 10 minutes was suitable because of due to the shortening effect of the total process time. In Step Ⅲ, the residual heat was lowered by cooling after the rice porridge production, so the viscosity could be greatly reduced. Also, it was confirmed that the water addition rate of 900% and the heating temperature of 15 minutes were optimal manufacturing conditions. The next study will investigate the porridge processability of rice cultivars using these results.

Background: Many trials have been conducted the methods and types of intervention of form rollers, but no research has been done yet that mixes the methods and types of intervention. Objectives: To analyze the effects of myofascial release on the improvement of range of motion (ROM), flexibility, pain pressure threshold, and balance. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: All subjects measured ROM, flexibility, pressure pain threshold, and dynamic balance by pre-test. After pre-test, subjects were randomized that static-vibration foam rolling group (n=12), dynamic-vibration foam rolling group (n=12), general foam rolling group (n=12). For the intervention, 3 sets of 90 seconds were applied to each group, and rest time was set to 60 seconds between sets. In the post-test and follow-up test after 10 minutes, all three groups were measured the ROM, flexibility, pressure pain threshold, and dynamic balance. Results: The results of comparing ROM, flexibility, pressure pain thresholds, dynamic balance ability appeared higher significant difference in the prepost- 10 minutes follow up test in comparison between time in the intragroup (P<.001). As a result of comparing the change of pre-post-10 minutes follow up, static vibration foam rolling showed higher significant difference compared to control groups (P<.001). Conclusion: Through this study, when foam rolling is applied within the same intervention time, static foam rolling can be expected to have a better effect than the existing dynamic foam rolling as well as vibration foam roller can expect better effect than general foam rolling.

Background: Ankle sprain in the Lead Leg Side (ALLS) is common in fencing athletes, and studies comparing the ankle range of motion (ROM) and strength of both legs are insufficient. Objectvies: To compare the ankle ROM and hip strength between two legs in fencing athletes who has ankle instability in the lead leg side. Design: Cross-sectional design. Methods: Seven fencing athletes with ankle instability participated in this study, and they randomly assigned into ankle in the Lead Leg Side (ALLS) and ankle in the Rear Leg Side (ARLS). Instability was determined by the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT), and then joint ROM and hip muscle strength were measured. Results: There were significant differences in dorsiflexion ROM, hip strength (extension and abduction) between the ALLS with ankle instability and ARLS (P<.05). Conclusion: This study suggests that the ankle ROM and hip muscle strength of ARLS are greater than ALLS in fencing athletes with ankle instability.

In this work, the correlation between the pore characteristics of activated carbon (AC) and the adsorption/desorption characteristics of evaporated fuel was studied. AC was prepared by various physical re-activation methods using coconut-derived commercial AC. Pore characteristics of the re-activated AC were investigated using N2/ 77 K adsorption isotherms. The structural characteristics of the AC were observed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The butane working capacity was observed according to ASTM D5228. From the results, the specific surface area and total pore volume of the ACs were determined to be 1380–2040 m2/g and 0.60–0.96 cm3/g, respectively. It was also observed that various pore size distributions were found to be dependent on the functions of the activation method and time. A close relationship between butane activity/ retentivity and micropore/mesopore volumes was found. In addition, it was inferred that the volume fraction of micropores and sub-mesopores with diameters between 1.5 and 3.0 nm primarily controls butane activity.

본 연구의 목적은 딥 스쿼트 동작 시 발목 관절 유연성이 무릎 관절의 운동역학적 요인들간의 관련성을 분석하는데 있었다. 본 연구는 최근 1년간 하지 근골격계 병력이 없는 성인 남성 19명과 여성 8명이 연구대상자로 참여하였다. 딥 스쿼드 시 발목 관절 유연성과 하지 관절의 운동역학적 요인들과 상관관계를 검증하기 위해 pearson의 적률상관계수(pearson’s correlation coefficient)를 이용하였고(SPSS 24.0, Armonk, NY, USA), 통계적으로 유의미한 상관성을 나타낸 변인들은 단순회기분석(simple regression analysis)을 실시하였으며, 유의 수준은 .05로 설정하였다. 본 연구를 통해 발목 관절 유연성과 무릎 관절의 압력을 결정하는 최대 관절모멘트와 관절반발력 요인들 간의 관련성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로 근력 트레이닝 시 딥 스쿼트와 같은 무릎 관절에 많은 부하를 발생시킬 수 있는 운동을 적용할 때 개인에 신체적 특성 중 발목 관절의 유연성의 정도를 확인하는 것은 신체의 안정성과 무릎 관절의 상해 위험성을 감소시킬 수 있는 운동 강도를 설정하는데 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 LNG 추진선에서 배관의 파손으로 천연가스가 누출되었을 때 누출공의 크기별 플래시 화재, 과압, 복사열에 따 른 피해범위를 ALOHA(Areal Location of Hazardous Atmospheres)를 이용하여 산출했다. 그리고 민감도 분석을 위해 환경 변수(풍속, 대기온 도, 대기 안정도)와 공정 변수(배관 압력, 배관 길이)로 구분하여 다양한 시나리오별 피해영향범위를 분석했다. 그 결과 환경 변수에 따른 피해범위는 플래시 화재에 의한 피해범위가 가장 컸으며 다음으로 과압, 복사열 순서로 큰 피해범위를 나타냈다. 그리고 공정 변수에 따른 피해범위를 산출한 결과 배관의 압력과 길이, 누출공의 크기와 관계없이 플래시 화재에 의한 피해범위가 가장 컸으며, 환경 변수와 동일하게 과압, 복사열 순서로 높은 피해범위를 보였다. 또한 누출공의 크기가 클수록 환경 변수와 공정 변수가 피해범위에 큰 영향을 주었으며 제트 환재에 의한 피해범위는 환경 변수에 비해 공정 변수에 의한 피해범위가 더 큰 것을 알 수 있었다.

The cooking-generated particles are major indoor sources of air pollution. Recently, the performance of the range hood is focused on particle removal performance. Range hood with an auxiliary air supply system can improve the fine and ultrafine particles removal efficiency by making a supply air during cooking activities. The particles were measured in the experimental building by varying ventilation types. Only operating range hood during the cooking activities was not enough to reduce the cooking-generated particles. Despite operating range hood systems, fine and ultrafine particle concentrations were maintained when cooking was finished. The range hood with a make-up air supply system can reduce the indoor particle concentration below background conditions when those systems were operated after cooking. In this study, the assessment of cooking-generated particle removal efficiency of the range hood with an auxiliary air supply system was conducted. The removal efficiency of ultrafine particles showed trends similar to the removal efficiency of fine particles.

Background: The range of pelvic tilt is one of modifiable risk factors in preventing the lower back pain. Objects: The purpose of this study were to compare the range of pelvic tilt motion by testing position and sex. Methods: One hundred five young adults (61 females and 44 males) agreed to participate in measuring the anterior and posterior pelvic tilt with the PALM (Palpation Meter) in sitting and standing. The range of pelvic tilt motion was defined as the difference between the pelvic anterior and posterior tilt angles. Results: In general, the anterior pelvic tilt was greater (p < 0.01) in standing than in sitting and the posterior pelvic tilt was lesser (p < 0.01) in sitting than in standing. The anterior pelvic tilt in sitting and standing was greater (p < 0.01) in the females than in the males. However, the effect of sex on the posterior pelvic tilt was only significant in sitting (p < 0.01), but not in standing (p = 0.78). The range of pelvic tilt was greater (p = 0.03) in sitting but not significantly (p = 0.07) affected by the sex. Conclusion: The pelvic tilt motion in these young adults showed large variability and further studies are needed to understand better its relationship to the prevalence of the lower back disorders.

보행 시 하이힐 굽 높이에 따른 구간별 차이를 비교하고, 하지관절의 가동범위가 보행 시간에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 20대 여대생 10명이 연구에 참여하였고, 굽 높이에 따라 3차원 보행분석을 통하여 변인을 산출하였다. 통계방법으로 세가지 굽높이에 따른 차이는 일원변량분석을 실시하였고, 보행시간이 하지관절에 미치는 영향은 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과로 보행 시 구간 2는 굽이 높을수록 보행시간이 길게 나타났지만, 구간 3은 굽이 높을수록 보행시간이 짧게 나타났다. 보행시간이 하지 관절 가동범위에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 구간 2는 1 cm에서 발목관절, 무릎관절, 5 cm는 발목관절의 가동범위가 클수록 보행시간이 길어졌다. 구간 3은 1 cm에서 고관절 가동범위가 클수록 보행시간이 길어 졌고, 10 cm는 발목관절 가동범위가 작을수록 보행시간이 길어졌다. 따라서 굽 높이 신발의 경우 발목관절의 제어가 중요성이 변인으로 판단된다.

철새는 다양한 번식지와 월동지를 이용하며, 특히 멸종위기 종의 번식지와 취식지의 정보를 파악하는 것은 종의 보전과 관리를 위해 매우 중요하다. 저어새는 동아시아 지역에 분포하는 국제적인 멸종위기 종으로 전 세계 번식 개체군의 대부분이 한반도 서해 무인도서에서 번식하며, 대만과 홍콩, 중국 남부 지역, 일본, 제주도 등에서 월동한다. 본 연구에서는 2015년도 인천 구지도에서 번식한 저어새 유조 3개체와 영광 칠산도에서 번식한 저어새 유조 3개체를 대상으로 야생동물위치추적장치를 이용하여 저어새 유조의 행동권을 분석, 비교하였다. 구지도 저어새 유조 3개체의 경우 북한 황해남도와 강령군 등의 해안지역 에서 행동권을 보였으며, 행동권 크기는(Mean±SD) MCP 425.49±116.95 km2, KDE 95% 43.61±18.51 km2, KDE 50% 7.46±3.68 km2이었으며, 칠산도 저어새 유조 3개체의 경우 영광 백수 갯벌 및 부안 새만금 간척 지역에서 MCP 99.38±55.29 km2, KDE 95% 19.87±6.05 km2, KDE 50% 1.16±0.53 km2의 행동권을 보여 구지도 번식 개체가 칠산도 번식 개체에 비해 더 넓은 행동권을 보였다. 본 연구에서 번식지인 구지도, 칠산도에서 이소한 저어새의 행동권은 주로 갯벌 지역이었으며, 이 인근 일대를 보호하기 위해서는 도로, 건설, 인간의 출입 등 인간의 방해를 최소화하는 서식지 보호 노력이 필요하다.

Background: Neck pain can be caused by any structure in the neck, such as intervertebral discs, ligaments, muscles, facet joints, dura mater, and nerve roots. The hyoid bone is a structure that is also related to head and neck posture, neck movement and pain, but there are no studies on hyoid deviation, neck pain, and range of motion (ROM). Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of fascia relaxation and mobilization of the hyoid bone on the ROM, pain, and lateral deviation of the hyoid bone. Methods: Twenty-five patients with neck pain identified by the lateral motion test (10 males [35.13 ± 7.67 years, 172.69 ± 3.90 cm, 78.77 ± 6.96 kg] and 15 females [35.13 ± 10.05 years, 161.11 ± 4.09 cm, 52.59 ± 2.98 kg]) was chosen randomly. Baseline values for pain, neck ROM, and lateral deviation in the hyoid bone were recorded using a visual analogue scale (VAS), goniometer, and tape measure. Then, each patient was treated with hyoid fascia relaxation and mobilization, and all results were recorded after intervention. Comparison of the results before and after intervention was analyzed using paird t-test (p < 0.05). Results: Right rotation, extension, VAS, and rotational asymmetry statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). Right rotation and extension increased ROM, rotational asymmetry ratio and VAS decreased. However, there was no significant difference in flexion, left rotation, center point (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Fascia relaxation and hyoid mobilization could improve the ROM of cervical extension, asymmetry of the cervical rotation and neck pain.

북한은 2019년 5월 4일 원산 북방 호도반도 일대에서 단거리 발사체 수발을 발사하였고, 이어서 5월 9일에는 평안북도 신오리 지역에서 단거리로 추정되는 미사일을 발사하는 등 ′19년 들어서 총 13회나 발사하였다. 북한의 단거리 방사 포 및 미사일은 240·300㎜ 방사포와 KN-02, 스커드 C형 미사일로 사거리가 약 70-300㎞ 이내로 우리가 보유한 레이더로는 탐지가 제한되어 대응이 다소 어려움으로 장기적으로 장사정포요격체계를 개발하여 대비하여야 하겠다. 북한의 단거리 미사일 방어를 위해서는 이스라엘에서 운용하고 있는 아이언돔 시스템의 무기체계와 장거리 미사일 방어를 위해서는 고고도 타격체계인 THAAD체계가 필요하다. 북의 장·단거리 미사일 방어를 위해서는 아이언돔이나 사드와 같은 유사한 무기체계를 조기에 도입하거나, 자체 개발하여 대응 할 수 있다면 효과적인 방어망을 구축할 수 있을 것이다. 북한의 단거리 및 장거리 미사일로 단거리는 한반도내 있으며, 장거리는 멀리 동아시아 주변국 및 미국 등 우방국을 위협함으로 한국형미사일방어를 위한 탄도탄미사일방어(BMD) 및 킬체인(Kill Chain) 체계를 조기에 구축하여 북의 무모한 기습이나 도발에 대비하여야 한다. 이를 위해 국방 과학연구소(ADD)나 한국과학기술원(KAIST)과 협업하여 자체 기술력 확보로 언제 있을지 모를 도발에 상시 대비할 수 있는 체계를 갖추어야 하겠다.

Background: Stretch-oriented home exercise programs are often used as treatments for patients with adhesive capsulitis; however, there is lack of research on home exercise programs to strengthen rotator cuffs. Objects: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of home exercise programs for rotator cuff strengthening on pain, range of motion (ROM), disability level, and quality of life in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Methods: Twenty-two patients with adhesive capsulitis volunteered to participate in this study. The subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group (n = 11) and control group (n = 11). For the experimental group, manual therapy and home exercise programs for rotator cuff strengthening were applied for 6 weeks; for the control group, only manual therapy was applied for 6 weeks. Shoulder pain (quadruple visual analogue scale, QVAS), ROM, disability (shoulder pain and disability index-Korean version, SPADI), and quality of life (world health organization quality of life scale-Korean version, WHOQOL-BREF) were evaluated at baseline, after 3 weeks, and after 6 weeks of intervention. The changes in the measurement variables were analyzed by using repeated measure analysis of variance. Results: Significant differences were observed between the experimental group and control group in the QVAS; SPADI-pain scores; SPADI-disability scores; SPADI-total scores; flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation ROM of the glenohumeral joint; and WHOQOLBREF total, overall, physical health, and psychological scores. All groups displayed statistically significant improvements as observed in the QVAS, SPADI, flexion, abduction, external and internal rotation ROM of the glenohumeral joint, and WHOQOL-BREF. Conclusion: Home exercise programs for rotator cuff strengthening had a positive impact on shoulder pain, shoulder ROM, disability level, and quality of life in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Therefore, we propose the use of home exercise programs for rotator cuff strengthening in the exercise rehabilitation of patients with adhesive capsulitis.

섬에 유입된 고양이(Felis catus)는 외래 포식자로서 섬 고유종의 멸종이나 절멸, 생물 다양성 감소 등의 직접적인 요인으로 작용할 수 있다. 본 연구는 제주도의 부속섬인 마라도(N 33° 07′, E 126° 16′)에 유입되어 서식하는 고양이의 개체군 현황과 행동권, 서식지 이용특성을 파악하기 위해 실시되었다. 2018년 3월부터 2018년 7월까지 직접관찰과 포획-재포획법을 통해 개체수 추정 결과, 번식 가능한 성체 총 20마리를 확인하였다. 이 중 10마리에 GPS 무선추적장치를 부착하여 추적한 결과 고양이의 행동권 크기는 12.05±6.99 ha (95% KDE: kernel density estimation), 핵심서식지 크기는 1.60±0.77 ha (50% KDE)로 나타났다. 성별에 따른 행동권과 핵심서식지의 크기는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았고, 10마리 중 8마리가 먹이획득이 쉬운 인간 거주지역을 핵심서식지로 이용하였다. 또한 마라도에 번식하는 멸종위기종인 뿔쇠오리(Synthliboramphus wumizusume)의 번식지에 5마리, 섬개개비(Locustella pleskei)의 번식지에 6마리가 접근하는 것을 각각 확인하였다. 본 연구는 마라도의 고양이 개체수와 행동권에 대한 정보를 최초로 파악하였으며, 특히 고양이 행동권 분석을 통해 철새와 멸종위기종에 대한 가해 가능성을 제시하였다. 철새와 멸종위기 조류의 서식지인 마라도에서 발생할 수 있는 고양이의 피해를 줄이기 위해 향후 고양이의 포식압, 고양이와 멸종위기 조류 개체군의 변동에 대한 모니터링에 관한 연구와 함께, 필요시 고양이 개체군 관리방안을 마련할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Background: Thoracic spine self-mobilization exercise is commonly used to manage patients with neck pain. However, no previous studies have investigated the effects of thoracic spine self-mobilization exercise alone in patients with chronic neck pain. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of thoracic self-mobilization using a tool on cervical range of motion (ROM), disability level, upper body posture, pain and fear-avoidance beliefs questionnaire (FABQ) in patients with chronic neck pain. Methods: The subjects were 49 patients (21 males, 28 females) with chronic neck pain. The subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group (EG, n = 23) and control group (CG, n = 26). For the EG, thoracic self-mobilization was applied. We placed a tool (made with 2 tennis balls) under 3 different vertebral levels (T1-4, T5-8, T9-12) of the thoracic spine and the subjects performed crunches, which included thoracic flexion and extension in supine position. Five times × 3 sets for each levels, twice a week, for 4 weeks. Cervical pain, disability, upper body posture, FABQ results, and ROM were evaluated at baseline, after 4 weeks of intervention, and at 8 weeks of follow-up. Assessments included the quadruple visual analogue scale (QVAS); Northwick Park neck pain questionnaire (NPQ); craniovertebral angles (CVA), forward shoulder angle (FSA) and kyphosis angle (KA) measurements for upper body posture; FABQ and cervical ROM testing. Results: The EG showed a statistically significant improvement after intervention in the QVAS (–51.16%); NPQ (–53.46%); flexion (20.95%), extension (25.32%), left rotation (14.04%), and right rotation (25.32%) in the ROM of the cervical joint; KA (–7.14%); CVA (9.82%); and FSA (–4.12%). Conclusion: These results suggest that, for patients with chronic neck pain, thoracic selfmobilization exercise using a tool (tennis balls) is effective to improve neck pain, disability level, the ROM, and upper body posture.

본 연구는 국내 중국어교육에서 활용되고 있는 주제범주와 주제항목을 분석하여 이들의 객관성을 확보하고 중국어교육에 적용할 수 있는 주제의 참조기준을 마련을 위한 연구이다. 이를 위해 『CEFR』, 국제통용 한국어표준교육과정』,『Core Inventory for general English』등 외국어교육요목의 주제를 분석하여 일반 언어에서 필요한 보편적인 주제를 분석하고자 하였다. 『国际大纲(2014)』과 『新HSK大纲(2015)』, 『제2외국어과 교육과정』의 주제를 분석하여 중국어교육요목에서만 특징적으로 제시하고 있는 개별적인 주제를 분석하여 언어 보편적 주제와 개별적 주제들을 도출하고자 하였다. 이를 토대로 국내 중국어회화교재의 주제범주와 항목을 비교분석한 그 결과, 국내 중국어교재의 주제는 1단계에서 4단계까지는 보편적인 주제이고, 5단계에서 6단계까지는 중국과 중국의 특징적인 주제를 반영하였다. 중국과 한국의 교재에서 제시한 공통적인 주제는 주로 일상생활과 연계된 주제를 주로 제시하며 언어 보편 적인 주제는 거의 대부분 제시하였다. 하지만 국내 중국어교재는 주제항목의 다양성, 수준별 연계성이 다소 부족한 반면 『HSK标准教程(2015)』는『国际大纲(2014)』과 『新HSK大纲(2015)』에서 제시한 전반적인 주제항목을 반영하고 있고, 중국과 중국문화와 관련된 개별적인 주제를 충분히 제시하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이것으로 향후 중국어교육에서 주제범주와 주제항목은 수준별 다양화와 수준별 연계성에 대한 체계적인 분석과 연구가 필요하다고 여겨진다.

Background: In patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), lumbar flexion exercise (LFE) is considered a standard therapeutic exercise that widens the space between the spinal canal and intervertebral foramen. However, some researchers have reported that lumbar extension exercise (LEE) may improve lumbar pain and functional ability in patients with LSS. Although exercise intervention methods for patients with LSS have been widely applied in clinical settings, few studies have conducted comparative analysis of these exercise methods. Objects: This study aimed to compare the effects of LFE, LEE, and lumbar flexion combined with lumbar flexion-extension exercise (LFEE) on pain, range of motion (ROM), pelvic tilt angle, and functional gait ability in patients with LSS. Methods: A total of 30 patients with LSS, LFE (n1=10), LEE (n2=10), and LFEE (n3=10) were assigned to each of the three exercise groups. The numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), modified-modified schober test (MMST)-flexion, MMST-extension, pelvic tilt inclinometer, and 6-minute walking test (6MWT) were measured. Results: After the intervention, statistically significant differences were observed in the NPRS (p=.043), MMST-flexion (p<.001), MMST-extension (p<.001), and 6MWT (p=.005) between groups. According to the post hoc test, the NPRS was statistically significant difference between the LFEE and LEE groups (p=.034). The MMST-flexion was statistically significantly different between the LFE and LEE (p=.000), LFE and LFEE (p=.001), and LEE and LFEE (p=.001) groups. The MMST-extension was statistically significantly different between the LFE and LEE (p<.001), LFE and LFEE (p=.002), and LEE and LFEE (p=.008) groups. The 6MWT was statistically significantly different between the LFE and LFEE (p=.042) and the LEE and LFEE (p=.004) groups. Conclusion: This study suggested that LFEE was the most effective exercise for pain and functional gait ability in patients with LSS, LFE was the most effective exercise for lumbar flexion ROM, and LEE was the most effective exercise for lumbar extension ROM.
