The purpose of this study is to analyze domestic ethical issues and discussions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to provide basic data for improving various policies and systems to solve ethical issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 28 documents included in this study are domestic literature conducted or published in 2020 and 2021, immediately after the outbreak of COVID-19, and domestic academic papers or thesis papers including 'Corona OR Covid OR corona' and 'Ethics OR morality' were searched throughout the paper. According to the literature analysis, a total of six topics were found: ethics theory needed in the COVID-19 pandemic, citizens' rights, research ethics such as COVID-19 vaccine development, COVID-19 ethical behavior and experience research, medical resources and vaccine distribution in the COVID-19 pandemic. Since numerous ethical issues are involved in newly created policies and institutions in the process of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been shown that these ethical discussions are essential to create policies and institutions in reality, not stay at the theoretical level.

This study is conducted to verify the seismic reinforcement effects of internally inserted buckling-restrained braces supported laterally by buckling-restrained rings for the seismic reinforcement of existing reinforced concrete buildings with non-seismic details. First, to evaluate the performance of KDS, the hysteretic characteristics of buckling-restrained braces are verified, and it is discovered that they satisfy the conformance criteria of the displacement-dependent damping device. Three full-scale, two-story reinforced concrete framework specimens are prepared to verify the seismic reinforcement effects, and the proposed buckling-restrained braces are bolstered with single diagonal and V-shaped braces to be compared with non-reinforced specimens. By performing a comparison with non-reinforced specimens that present intensive shear cracks at the bottom of first-floor columns, it is revealed that the maximum load and energy dissipation of specimens reinforced with the proposed buckling restrained braces, in which the structural damage extends evenly throughout the system, are approximately 4 and 6.2 times higher, respectively, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed seismic reinforcement method.

지역적으로 식물 다양성을 보전하기위한 가장 필수적인 항목은 전체 목록의 작성이다. 특히 석회암 지대는 식물다양 성이 높을 뿐만 아니라 특이적인 식물의 분포지로 알려져 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 보호지역으로 지정된 곳은 소수에 불과하다. 본 연구는 한반도의 중부에 위치한 석회암 지대인 고양산과 문래산 일원에 분포하는 식물현황을 조사하였다. 총 8회의 조사를 통해 113과 357속 592종 15아종 44변종 3품종 654분류군이 관찰되었다. 환경부지정 멸종위기야생식 물은 개병풍, 가시오갈피나무, 복주머니란 및 큰바늘꽃 4분류군이 분포하였다. 한국고유종은 32분류군, 식물구계학적특 정식물종은 Ⅴ등급이 5분류군, Ⅳ등급이 41분류군, Ⅲ등급이 36분류군이 조사되었다. 국가적색목록 평가에 따라 멸종 의 위협이 높은 위기(EN; Endangered)종으로 평가되는 식물은 2분류군, 취약(VU; Vulnerable)종으로 평가되는 식물은 7분류군 그리고 준위협(NT; Near threatened)종으로 평가되는 식물은 7분류군이 분포하였다. 귀화식물은 총 41분류군 이 조사되었고 그중 생태계교란외래식물은 4분류군이 있었다. 본 조사지역인 고양산과 문래산 일원은 석회암 지대 내에서 높은 식물다양성을 나타내고 있고 멸종위기야생식물인 개병풍의 핵심 분포지에 해당할 뿐만 아니라 개야광나무 의 소수 분포지 중 하나를 포함하고 있는 등 보전의 가치가 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 이러한 점에 따라 고양산과 문래산 일원과 주변의 식물다양성이 우수한 지역을 평가하여 특별보호구역으로 지정할 것을 제안한다.

The fish community in the Seomjin River-Seomjin River Estuary-Gwangyang Bay coast continuum was investigated three times from March 2019 to October 2019. The collected species at the eight sites during the survey period were 49 species belonging to 31 families, including two endangered species. According to Bray-Curtis similarities, observations were divided into four groups based on the fish community composition; two groups (group 1, 2) and two uncategorized groups (group 3, 4). ANOSIM based on spatial and temporal groupings indicated that the spatial differences in fish communities (R=0.398, P=0.001) were relatively more important than the temporal differences (analysis of similarities, R=0.273, P=0.002). In particular, there were significant differences between groups 1 and 2 (analysis of similarities, R=0.556, P=0.001), and similarity percentage analysis revealed that Argyrosomus argentatus (9.4%), Favonigobius gymnauchen (6.9%) and Konosirus punctatus (5.9%) contributed to these differences of fish assemblages for each group. The fish fauna distributed in the Seomjin River-Gwangyang Bay ecosystem were spatially divided and the number of species and number of individuals showed seasonal differences. This study could be a basis for understanding changes in the fish community and implementing conservation and management strategies on major species within a continuous environment of the river-estuary-ocean continuum.

Known for its effectiveness in weight loss and diabetes prevention, Gymnema sylvestre products can be found in the US, Japanese, and Indian markets. However, the recommended dosage or safety of these products has not yet been proven. Therefore, development of an analytical method for detecting the content of Gymnema sylvestre in food products is required. Accordingly, this study proposes an analysis method that can examine Gymnema sylvestre in food using LC-ESI-MS/MS and KASP (Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR) markers. In LC-ESI-MS/MS, a simultaneous analysis method for gymnemic acid and deacylgymnemic acid was optimized using negative ionization mode, and its validation test was completed for solid and liquid samples. In addition, KASP markers were prepared by finding the specific SNP of G. sylvestre in ITS2 and matK through DNA barcodes. The two KASP markers returned positive FAM fluorescence result when combined with G. sylvestre, and this aspect was confirmed in raw G. sylvestre as well. The applicability of the method was tested on 21 different food and healthy functional products containing G. sylvestre purchased on the internet. As a result, although there was a difference in the ratios of gymnemic acid and deacylgymnemic acid in LC-ESI-MS/MS, the index component was detected in all 21 products samples. In the KASP analysis, 9 products returned positive FAM result, and the rest of the products were found to be containing G. sylvestre extract. This study is the first study to use the dual system of LC-ESI-MS/MS and KASP for the analysis of G. sylvestre. The study has confirmed that these two methods are applicable to the examine G. sylvestre content in food products.

A pump-type eDNA filtering system that can control voltage and hydraulic pressure respectively has been developed, and applied a filter case that can filter out without damaging the filter. The filtering performance of the developed system was evaluated by comparing the eDNA concentration with the conventional vacuum-pressured filtering method at the catchment conduit intake reservoir. The developed system was divided into a voltage control (manual pump system) method and a pressure control (automatic pump system) method, and the pressure was measured during filtering and the pressure change of each system was compared. The voltage control method started with 65 [KPa] at the beginning of the filtering, and as the filtering time elapsed, the amount of filtrate accumulated in the filter increased, so the pressure gradually increased. As a result of controlling the pressure control method to maintain a constant pressure according to the designed algorithm, there was a difference in the width of the hydraulic pressure fluctuation during the filtering process according to the feedback time of the hydraulic pressure sensor, and it was confirmed that the pressure was converged to the target pressure. The filtering performance of the developed system was confirmed by measuring the eDNA concentration and comparing the voltage control method and the hydraulic control method with the control group. The voltage control method obtained similar results to the control group, but the hydraulic control method showed lower results than the control group. It is considered that the low eDNA concentration in the hydraulic control method is due to the large pressure deviation during filtering and maintaining a constant pressure during the filtering process. Therefore, rather than maintaining a constant pressure during filtering, it was confirmed that a voltage control method in which the pressure is gradually increased as the filtrate increases with the lapse of filtering time is suitable for collecting eDNA. As a result of comparing the average concentration of eDNA in lentic zone and lotic zone as a control group, it was found to be 96.2 [ng μL-1] and 88.4 [ng μL-1l], respectively. The result of comparing the average concentration of eDNA by the pump method was also high in the lentic zone sample as 90.7 [ng μL-1] and 74.8 [ng μL-1] in the lentic zone and the lotic zone, respectively. The high eDNA concentration in the lentic zone is thought to be due to the influence of microorganisms including the remaining eDNA.

지역적인 규모에서 식물다양성의 보전을 위해서는 기초적인 정보가 바탕이 된다. 조사의 결과로 나타나는 식물의 종수는 조사의 면적과 조사지역 내에 분포하는 다양한 생육지의 수와 밀접하게 연관된다. 경상북도 울진군의 마룡산과 대소산 일원에서 각각 9회와 6회에 걸쳐 식물자원을 조사하였다. 조사경로에 다양한 생육지가 포함되도록 계획하였다. 조사의 결과로 마룡산 일원에서는 112과 349속 548종 10아종 34변종 2품종 594분류군이 대소산 일원에서는 89과 270속 400종 9아종 25변종 434분류군이 조사되었다. 21개의 생육지로 구분하여 관찰된 식물을 정리하면 계곡주변의 전이대에 분포하는 식물과 건조한 초원에 분포하는 식물이 높은 비율을 차지하였다. 해안에 위치한 전통적인 묘지는 식물의 주요한 분포지로 기능하였다. 2개 지역에서 한국고유종은 19분류군이 조사되었다. 2개 지역에서 식물구계학적 특정식물종은 Ⅴ등급이 1분류군, Ⅳ등급이 11분류군, Ⅲ등급이 24분류군이 조사되었다. 귀화식물은 총 77분류군이 조사되었고 그중 생태계교란외래식물은 4 분류군이 분포하였다. 마룡산 일원과 대소산 일원에 분포하는 식물에서 나타나는 차이는 먼저 조사지역 내에 분포하는 각각의 생육지 크기 차이에 따른 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 대소산 일원이 주변의 산지와 연결되어 있지 않고 주거지와 경작지에 둘러싸인 고립된 공간에 해당하였기 때문으로 판단되었다.

우리나라 딸기 재배는 시설 재배로 이루어지고 있으며, 대부분 농가의 급액 관리는 재배자의 경험을 토대로 타이머 제어 방식으로 이루어지고 있다. 타이머 급액 방법은 재배 환경, 작물의 생육 단계, 배지 수분 함량 등을 고려하기 어려워 작물을 최적 수준으로 관리하지 못하고, 급액 관리의 정확성이 결여되는 문제점이 있다. 적산 일사량과 배지 수분함량을 이용한 급액 방법은 작물의 생육 상태에 따라 정밀하게 양액을 공급하는 친환경적인 방법이다. 본 연구는 코이어배지를 이용 한 딸기 수경재배에서 적산일사량과 배지 수분함량을 이용한 복합 급액 제어와 타이머 제어 급액 방법을 비교하고 복합 급액 제어 시 최적의 적산 일사량 기준을 설정하고자 수행하였다. 적산일사량 급액 방법은 외부 일사량을 기준으로 100, 150, 250J∙cm -2에 도달하면 자동으로 급액하며 배지 수분함 량이 60% 미만이면 강제 급액하고, 1회 급액량은 50mL로 공급하였다. 타이머 제어는 대조구로 설정하였다. 급액을 개시 하는 적산 일사량 기준이 작을수록 일일급액량이 많았으며 100J∙cm -2 기준 급액 시 급액량은 250J∙cm -2 처리구 대비 46% 많았다. 지상부 생체중과 건물중 모두 복합 급액 제어 방법이 타이머 제어보다 높았으며, 100, 150J∙cm -2 처리구에서 지상부 생체중이 높았고 100J∙cm -2 처리구에서 건물중이 유의하게 높은 값을 나타냈다. 수량 또한 타이머 제어 방법보다 복합 제어 방법에서 유의하게 높았으며 적산 일사량 기준이 작을수록 초기 수량이 증가하였다. 평균 과중은 타이머 제어 급액 시 가장 낮았다. 본 연구 결과 딸기의 정밀 급액 관리를 위하여 적산 일사량과 배지 수분 함량 센서를 이용한 복합 제어 활용 가능성을 확인하였다.

지역적인 규모에서 식물자원을 조사하고 평가하는 것은 대상 지역에 대한 식물다양성의 보전을 위한 기초적인 정보이다. 그럼에도 관심도가 높지 않은 지역에 대한 조사는 충분하지 않다. 본 연구는 비교적 관심도가 높지 않은 한반도 중남부에 위치한 백암산(1,004m) 일원의 식물자원을 조사하였다. 총 9회의 조사를 통해 108과 339속 572종 12아종 49변종 5품종 638분류군이 관찰되었다. 환경부 지정 멸종위기야생식물은 1분류군이 조사되었고 한국고유종으로는 총 29분류군이 조사되었다. 식물구계학적특정식물종은 Ⅴ등급이 1분류군, Ⅳ등급이 13분류군, Ⅲ등급이 36분류군, Ⅱ등급이 29분류군 그리고 Ⅰ등급이 34분류군으로 조사되었다. 귀화식물은 총 38분류군이 조사되었고 그중 생태계교란 외래식물은 3종이 분포하였다. 백암산을 중심으로 서쪽과 동쪽에 분포하는 식물에서 차이가 있었다. 백암산의 정상과 능선 및 서쪽지역에서 멸종위기야생식물 및 보전가치가 높은 식물이 주로 관찰되었다. 분포하는 식물을 고려해 볼 때 낙동정맥 상에 위치한 백암산은 식물의 확산경로로 기능하였다고 추정되었다.

이 연구의 목적은 「산림총서」 및 언론보도, 북한과학기술네트워크(http://www.nktech.net/) 등의 문헌자료를 이용하여 1960년부터 2019년까지 북한 산불의 시공간적 발생경향과 산불 분야 연구동향을 파악하는 것이다. 북한의 산불 발생이력은 2000년대를 기점으로 대외적으로 보고되기 시작하였으며, 산불 보도건수는 산림율과 정의 상관관계를, 인구밀도 및 산림황폐화율과는 부의 상관관계를 보였다. 시기적으로는 봄과 가을, 지역적으로는 동해안 지역에 산불이 집중되는 경향을 보였다. 동해안 지역에 산불 발생이 집중되는 이유는 높은 산림율과 낮은 인구밀도로 인해 감시와 통제에 자유로운 방화가 북한지역 산불의 주원인이 될 수 있음을 시사하였다. 산불 관련 논문은 2000년대를 기점으로 다수 발행되었으며, 김정은 집권시기에 가장 많은 논문이 발행되었다. 연도별 논문 발행편수는 산불 보도건수(n-3년 및 n-5년 이동평균)와 정의 상관관계를 보였으며, 산불 발생빈도가 증가함에 따라 산불이 사회적 문제로 확대되면서 관련 연구가 수행되었던 것으로 확인할 수 있었다. 이 연구의 결과는 향후 산불 분야의 남북 교류협력에 있어 산불 공동 관리·대응 역량 및 상호 협력체계를 발전시킬 수 있는 기초정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

When evaluating the extent of the impact of water pollutants on the surrounding area, we would like to present the target level (proposal) of the quality of the environment, which is the standard for evaluation. We propose the environmental quality target level for substances that need to be applied domestically by investigating overseas cases operating the integrated environmental management system and the implications of domestic environmental pollutant management. The appropriateness of the environmental quality target level reviewed in this study was determined using data from the water quality measuring network, and future improvement measures were proposed. We review the available methodologies for setting quality objectives for the environment. It proposed the environmental quality target level for 21 substances that have domestic water pollutant emission standards and do not have environmental standards, and proposed future improvement measures. If it is necessary to add quality target-level items of the environment in the future, it is believed that expansion will be possible based on the methodology presented in this study.

National concerns about air pollution are growing. The importance of indoor air quality is emerging because people live in an indoor environment more than 90% of the day. In particular, the indoor air quality of schools needs to be managed as teenagers are vulnerable to environmental pollution. The government has designated the School Health Act in order to manage indoor air quality in schools. Air purifiers have been operated to improve indoor air quality in the classroom since 2018. In this study, we performed on-site evaluations in some classrooms, and then we proposed a plan for improving the air quality in the classroom. In this study, PM10, PM2.5, and CO2 in classrooms in Chungnam were measured to analyze the effect of air cleaner supply. A portable aerosol spectrometer (PAS, model 1.109, Grimm) and CO2 meter (TES 1370, TES) were used as measuring instruments. Schools A and B exceeded the recommended standards, while school C met the standards. The ratio of PM10, PM2.5 in classrooms A and B was 0.58 and 0.5, respectively. Correlation analysis was performed between indoor and outdoor pollutants to analyze the effects of particulate pollutants present in each classroom. First, the measured concentration of fine particles was classified according to/on the basis of factors that affect/influence the internal environment of the classroom. Then, fine dust concentrations measured at the same time as AQMS were classified with regard to the external factors. The gradients for each classroom were 1.57, 1.63, and 1.54, although there were differences in concentration, but they were relatively similar. It is necessary to develop and disseminate customized air purifiers considering the activity of the occupants of classrooms. It is important to consider the areas in which s tudents breathe when installing air purifiers in the classroom. In addition, follow-up management of air purifiers is an essential element. For efficient operation and management of indoor air quality, it is necessary to develop and disseminate standard manuals for air purifiers. It is proposed that an environmental manager should be deployed in schools to manage environmental issues. Standardization of air purifiers, management guidelines for standard manuals, and field support for environmental sheriffs should be established on a legal basis.

To date, there is no standardization of the endoscopi c retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) room setting regarding with the size, equipment or space arrangement. Therefore, the authors visited 11 tertiary hospitals that recently remodeled or newly designed the ERCP room to analyze and identify their advantages and disadvantages. The ERCP room should have enough space for equipments including fluoroscopy, endoscopy, electrosurgical unit, preparation table and for patient movement. The EUS room does not require an independent space unless it is a very large scale hospital, and the ERCP room can be shared. Considering the pros and cons of each equipment, adequate fluoroscopic device should be selected depending on the hospital circumstance. Expensive equipment for X-ray fluoroscopy system is not necessarily good, and it is necessary to install equipment suitable for each hospital situation by understanding the advantages and disadvantages of fluoroscopy. For prevention of ERCP-related radiation hazard, both endoscopist and assistants should wear radiation-blocking apron, thyroid protectors, and lead glasses. Furthermore, a shield that can block radiation between the endoscopist and the patient should be installed to protect high-energy scattered waves. One-way direction should be designed to prevent cross infection when moving the endoscopic equipment from the ERCP to the cleaning room. If possible, it is recommended to keep a cardiopulmonary resuscitation cart in the ERCP room.
