폐기물관리법 개정･시행(’16.7.)으로 폐기물의 재활용방식이 포지티브(허용행위 열거방식)에서 네거티브(제한행위 열거방식)로 전환됨에 따라 재활용대상 폐기물의 재활용 가능여부를 판단하기 위해 재활용환경성평가 제도를 도입하였다. 위 제도의 도입에 따라 폐기물의 재활용으로 인한 인체･환경영향을 사전에 파악하기 위해 지정폐기물에 함유된 유해물질의 용출･함량관리 이외에 유해특성 항목의 확대 및 상향류 투수방식의 유출시험 도입 등 평가항목 및 평가방법을 확대하였으며, 비매체접촉형 및 매체접촉형 재활용유형으로 분리하여 폐기물의 재활용으로 인한 토양, 지하수, 수질 등 환경매체의 영향까지 고려하도록 하였다. 본 연구에서는 재활용 제품에 대한 장기영향평가를 위하여 도입된 상향류 투수방식의 유출시험을 수행하여, 폐기물의 재활용으로 인한 지표수 및 지하수 등에 대한 영향여부를 평가하고자 하였다. 페로니켈슬래그를 시료로 하여 상향류 투수방식의 유출시험 분석결과 알루미늄을 제외한 모든 항목이 먹는 물 수질기준 미만 또는 정량한계 미만으로 나타났으며, 페로니켈 슬래그의 매체접촉형 재활용 시 중금속의 용출로 인한 환경의 영향은 미비할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 고액비(L/S ratio)에 따른 용출경향 파악을 위하여 폐기물 용출시험(L/S=10) 결과와 상향류 투수방식의 유출시험(L/S=2) 결과를 비교･검토하였으며, 검출경향은 상향류 투수방식의 유출시험에서 더 높게 검출되는 경향이 나타나, 폐기물의 재활용에 대한 장기 용출영향 평가 방법으로 적합하다고 판단하였다.

폐기물관리법 개정(시행 ’16.7.21)으로 폐기물의 재활용방식이 포지티브(허용행위 열거방식)에서 네거티브(제한행위 열거방식)로 전환됨에 따라 재활용대상 폐기물의 재활용 가능여부를 판단하기 위해 재활용환경성평가 제도를 도입하였다. 이에따라, 2018년 1월 1일부터 재활용환경성평가 제도 중 매체접촉형으로 사용되는 폐기물은 새로운 재활용 유형인 경우이거나 기존 재활용유형 12만 톤 이상 또는 3만 제곱미터 이상의 규모의 경우 유해특성항목의 생태독성항목을 적용하도록 되어있다. 생태독성시험의 시행은 화학시험의 평가와는 달리 환경영향에 대한 부분을 종합적으로 평가할 수 있을 것이다. 현재 재활용환경성평가에서의 물벼룩을 이용한 급성독성(생태독성) 기준은 ｢폐기물 유해특성의 성질 및 해당 기준｣에 TU 2.0을 초과하지 않도록 설정되어 있다. 그러나, 현재 재활용환경성평가의 생태독성의 경우 상향류 투수방식의 유출시험(컬럼시험)을 통하여, 고상시료를 액상시료로 변환시키는 시험방법을 사용하고 있다. 폐기물의 종류에 따라 생태독성시험 적용을 위해 pH 조정이 필요한 경우가 발생하여, 전처리 과정을 통하여 중화시킨 후 독성 분석을 실시하였다. 이에 본 연구는 매체접촉형 재활용에 이용되었던 석탄재, 폐석재, 폐토사 등을 대상으로 컬럼시험을 통해 얻은 유출액을 생태독성시험에 적용하여 재활용환경성평가의 생태독성항목에 대한 시험방법을 마련하고, 독성기준의 만족여부를 조사하였다.

한옥마을은 전주시의 대표적인 관광지로 주목받고 있으며, 연간 관광객이 2016년 기준으로 1,066만명에 이를 정도로 좁은 관광지역에 대규모 인파가 폭증함에 따라 교통체증은 물론 먹거리 문제, 이에 따른 폐기물 관리문제가 대두되고 있는 상황이다. 음식업소배출량을 제외하고 연간 3,551톤(약 10톤/일)의 생활폐기물이 길거리수거함에 배출되고 있으며, 종량제봉투(100L 기준)사용량이 월 5,000장 정도 소요되며, 총 12지점의 배출지를 확보하여 운영하고 있지만, 관광객증가 및 음식소비 등에 따른 발생량 증가에 대응하기에 한계가 있다. 주요배출원인 길거리 음식점의 1회용품에 의한 것으로 확인되며, 길거리 배출함내 일반 및 재활용성 폐기물이 혼합되어 배출되고 있고, 상가 및 거주 주민들의 생활폐기물도 무단배출되는 지역특성을 고려하여 현장조사를 통해 폐기물 발생특성을 확인하고, 단계별로 규모별 적정한 관리방안을 모색하려고 한다. 또한 한옥마을 관광형태가 한옥숙박과 함께 거리여행의 특성이 크고, 이동반경이 작은 만큼 실내 음식 소비형태보다는 길거리 요기형태의 소비가 높아 길거리 배출량이 증가하는 경향을 고려하여 한옥마을 도로에 대한 관광객 및 길거리 음식업주의 쓰레기 분리 및 수거상황을 조사를 통해 관리 실태를 확인하고자 한다.

In order to evaluate the corrosion environment at installed site, the corrosion currents were measured by atmospheric corrosion monitoring(ACM) sensor. The deterioration grade of water-borne inorganic zine was investigated by visual inspection method depending on ASTM D610. The deterioration grade of structural member was compared based on corrosion environment such as wet time, amount of deposited salt etc.

This paper presents the basic data for the structural safety study of the extension wall by evaluating the bending stresses of the existing and extension walls varying according to the plan change of the extension building through the numerical analysis on the horizontal load as follows: 1) the stress variation of the divided wall when the wall opening due to a partial demolition is evaluated by comparing the result of analysis on whether or not the opening of the bearing wall is demolished as a variable; 2) the stress variation of the existing wall due to the increase of the stiffness of the extension wall is also evaluated by comparing the result of analysis on the thickness of the extension wall as a variable.

This paper analyzed design bearing capacities of pile foundations strengthened by pre-loading method for vertical expansion. The bearing capacities were investigated for two different pre-loading strategies: (1) after partial removals of structural/non-structural elements (e.g. finish, masonry wall etc.); and (2) after vertical expansions. Based on the numerical studies, more than 60% of the existing piles exceeded the design bearing capacities due to the difference of pre-loading strategies, which should be considered in structural design.

The structural performance of designed superconcrete truss was evaluated with the conventional reinforced concrete members.

Background: This present study was conducted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and immune regulatory effects of Aucklandia lappa Decne (AL). Methods and Results: We measured cytotoxicity, nitric oxide (NO) content, mRNA expression (iNOS, IL-1α, IL-1β, and TNF-α), protein expression (iNOS, COX-2, and IκB-α) and phagocytic activity in RAW264.7 cells. Male BALB/c mice were fed 100 ㎎/㎏ AL (Aucklandia lappa Decneon 70% ethanol extract) and 250 ㎎/㎏ AL for 4 weeks; thereafter, we observed B/T or CD4+/CD8+ lymphocyte subpopulation change, and expression patterns of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes by immunohistochemical staining in mouse splenocytes and/or thymocytes. To determine the experimental concentration of AL, cell viability was measured by MTT assay and tested at 12.5 ㎍/㎖ or less. AL inhibited the levels of NO, lymphokine production (IL-1β, and TNF-α), and mRNA (iNOS, IL-1α, IL-1β, and TNF-α) and protein (iNOS, and COX-2) expression. Additionally, the levels of IκB-α, phagocytic activity, and splenic and thymic T lymphocytes, especially TH and TC cells were significantly increased in AL administered mice. The immuno-reactive density of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes was stronger in AL groups than in the normal group. AL stimulated NO, iNOS, and COX-2, and regulated IL-1α, IL-1β, TNF-α, and IκB-α in macrophages treated with LPS (lipopolysaccharide). In addition, AL increased the phagocytic activity of macrophages and the immunity of mouse T (TH, and TC) cells. Conclusions: These results suggested that AL might show anti-inflammatory activity via the suppression of various inflammatory markers and immuno-regulatory activity.

This study reviewed the applicability of the existing flood discharge calculation method on Jeju Island Han Stream and compared this method with observation results by improving the mediating variables for the Han Stream. The results were as follows. First, when the rain-discharge status of the Han Stream was analyzed using the flood discharge calculation method of the existing design (2012), the result was smaller than the observed flood discharge and the flood hydrograph differed. The result of the flood discharge calculation corrected for the curve number based on the terrain gradient showed an improvement of 1.47 - 6.47% from the existing flood discharge, and flood discharge was improved by 4.39 - 16.67% after applying the new reached time. In addition, the sub-basin was set separately to calculate the flood discharge, which yielded an improvement of 9.92 - 32.96% from the existing method. In particular, the steepness and rainfall-discharge characteristics of Han Stream were considered in the reaching time, and the sub-basin was separated to calculate the flood discharge, which resulted in an error rate of –8.77 to 8.71%, showing a large improvement of 7.31 - 28.79% from the existing method. The flood hydrograph also showed a similar tendency.

Background: Hair loss related syndromes are increasing due to environmental pollution and stress. Hair care products are mainly prepared by mixing chemicals and natural extracts, such as those obtained from medicinal plants. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 70% ethanol extracts from the flowers of Calendula officinalis, fruit body of Phellinus linteus, and the whole plant of Houttuynia cordata on the growth of CCD-986 cells, hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPC), and 3T3-L1 cells. Methods and Results: All sample extracts at all concentrations, except for that from P. linteus fruit body at 500㎍/㎖, were cytotoxic to CCD-986 cells. However, none of the sample extracts were cytotoxic to HFDPC. The lipid differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells regulates hair regeneration via secretion of platelet derived growth factor. The 70% ethanol extract of H. cordata whole plant promoted hair growth. Adipogenesis rate significantly increased in a treatment concentration-dependent manner. Conclusions: These results suggest that 70% ethanol extracts of C. officinalis flower, P. linteus fruit body and H. cordata could be used for the development of hair care products.

Background: An imbalance in energy intake and expenditure can cause obesity, which is a major risk factor for chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, cancers and hyperlipidemia. Methods and Results: In this study, we evaluated the anti-obesity effects of a water extract from the young leaves of barley sprout (BS) in 3T3-L1 cells and in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice (HF). Lipid accumulation measurement indicates that BS markedly inhibited adipogenesis by reducing lipid droplet production in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the mRNA expression of adipogenic transcription factors peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ and fatty acid synthetase, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-α and fatty acid binding protein 4 in 3T3-L1 cells was significantly inhibited by BS treatment. In an in vivo test, the BSadministered group of HFD-induced mice showed less body weight gain, and lower liver and epididymal white adipose tissue weights. The BS-treated mice showed decreased serum levels of leptin and lipids compared to untreated HFD mice and the levels of adiponectin and the HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio increased. These results indicate that BS inhibits body fat accumulation by reducing the mRNA expression of lipogenesis transcription factors and increasing serum adipokine concentration in in vitro and in vivo tests. Conclusions: BS reduced high fat diet-induced weight gain and had a positive effect on dyslipidemia.

Background: A critical features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is cognitive dysfunction, which partly arises from decreased in acetylcholine levels. AD afftected brains are characterized by extensive oxidative stress, which is thought to be primarily induced by the amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide. In a previous study, Cinnamomum loureiroi tincture inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity. That study identified AChE inhibitor in the C. loureiroi extract. Furthermore, the C. loureiroi extract enhanced memory in a trimethyltin (TMT)-induced model of cognitive dysfunction, as assessed via two behavioral tests. Rosa laevigata extract protected against oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity. Administrating R. laevigata extracts to mice significantly reversed Aβ-induced learning and memory impairment, as shown in behavioral tests. Methods and Results: We conducted behavioral to examine the synergistic effects of C. loureiroi and R. laevigata extracts in inhibiting AChE and counteracting TMT-induced learning and memory losses. We also performed biochemical assays. The biochemical results showed a relationship between increased oxidative stress and cholinergic neurons damage in TMT-treated mice. Conclusions: A diet containing C. loureiroi and R. laevigata extracts ameliorated learning and memory impairments in the Y-maze and passive avoidance tests, and exerted synergistic inhibitory effect against AChE and lipid peroxidation.

Persistent Extreme Temperature Events (PETEs) are defined in two steps; first, to define extreme temperature events, the 80th and 20th percentiles of daily maximum and minimum temperature were chosen. Then individual PETE was defined as an event which lasted three or longer consecutive extreme temperature days. In this study, we examined characteristics and changes of PETEs in Republic of Korea (ROK) using 14 weather stations with a relatively long-term period of data, 1954-2016. In ROK, PETEs lasted four-five days on average and occurred two-three times a year. PETEs lasted longer in summer than in winter and in maximum temperature than in minimum temperature. PETEs which lasted greater than seven days account for a greater proportion in summer than in winter. However, intensities of PETEs were greater in winter because of a larger temperature fluctuation. In both summer and winter, durations and intensities of persistent extreme high temperature events increased while those of persistent extreme low temperature events decreased. Changes of PETEs were closely related with both global warming and diverse large-scale climate variabilities such as AO, NAO and Nino 3.4.

The study was intended to identify the effect of the rural development projects (comprehensive improvement of the seats of Eup and Myeon and regional unit comprehensive development projects) on the quality of life in rural areas against local residents living in areas subject to those projects by means of structural equation modeling based on covariance structure analysis. The result indicated that perception factors affecting the quality of life for residents in rural areas by the projects included ‘improvement in spatial environment’, ‘increase in vitality of rural areas’, and ‘promotion of community activities.’ It was also suggested that ‘improvement in spatial environment’ and ‘increase in vitality of rural areas’ have significantly positive effect on the quality of life for residents in rural areas while the former has relatively higher correlation. In comparison between comprehensive improvement of the seats of Eup and Myeon and regional unit comprehensive development projects, it was analyzed that all the perception factors of the comprehensive improvement of the seats of Eup and Myeon have effect on the quality of life for residents in rural areas indicating that comprehensive improvement of the seats of Eup and Myeon is more effective than regional unit comprehensive development projects in promoting the community activities. It means that existing rural development projects have been promoted to improve spatial environment rather than improving the quality of life for residents in rural areas. Thus, it is considered that the rural development projects in future should seek for a sense of community so that they can induce voluntary participation by local residents.

Although Doenjang is a representative traditional fermented food in Korea, made mainly from soybeans, it has been classified into a food group identified as having high sodium in the National Health and Nutrition Examination. It is necessary to develop a low sodium Doenjang to prevent the excessive sodium intake which may cause various diseases. However, the development of Doenjang with low sodium, without significant changes on quality, is an ongoing challenge. Therefore, the experiment was designed to reduce the salt content of the soaking water to 12.5-45%. The pH, saltiness. moisture, sodium, color, amino-type nitrogen, free amino acids and constituent amino acids composition of Doenjang were investigated to determine the effect of this salt reduction on the sensory quality of Doenjang. The reduction of sodium did not affect the pH, moisture and saltiness, and this changed maintained the same range as the control. The sodium content was reduced proportionally, and the amino acid nitrogen level was 500 mg%. Therefore, this study considered that a reduction of 25% of salt in the soaking water does not affect the quality of the Doenjang while reducing the sodium content of the final Doenjang.

본 연구는 규산나트륨(Na2SiO3)으로 활성화된 고유동 대량치환슬래그 시멘트의 기초특성에 관한 연구이다. 고로슬래그 미분말 (GGBFS)은 보통포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC)의 40%에서 80%까지 질량치환하고 칼슘설포알루미네이트(CSA)는 2.5%와 5.0% 치환하였다. 규산나 트륨(Na2SiO3)은 전체 결합재(OPC+GGBFS+CSA) 질량의 2%와 4% 추가하였다. 모든 배합의 물-결합재 비(w/b)는 0.35이다. 본 연구에서는 미니슬럼프, V-funnel, 응결시간, 압축강도와 건조수축을 측정하였다. 실험결과 유동화제 양, V-funnel, 응결시간과 건조수축은 CSA와 Na2SiO3가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 그러나 압축강도는 CSA와 Na2SiO3가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 이러한 원인 중 하나는 CSA와 Na2SiO3가 GGBFS의 활성화를 촉진하였기 때문이다. 최고의 성능을 나타낸 배합은 CSA 5.0% + Na2SiO3 4%를 혼합한 시험체이다.
