피부는 스모그, 담배연기 및 UV와 같은 외부환경으로부터 신체를 보호하는 가장 큰 기관이며, 보호 기작 으로서 각질세포와 그 사이를 메우고 있는 세라마이드, 콜레스테롤, 지방산 등의 세포간지질이 라멜라 액정 구조 로 피부 장벽을 이루고 있다. 본 연구에서는 세포간지질 중 세라마이드 생합성과 관련되어 있는 세린-팔미토일 전이효소(serine-palmitoyltransferase, SPT) 발현을 western blot으로 확인한 결과, 제주산양산삼 추출물이 농도의존적으로 SPT 단백질 발현을 증가시킴을 확인하였다. 또한 제주산양산삼 추출물을 5% 함유한 제형을 2주간 피부에 도포 후 TEWL을 측정하였을 때, 제주산양산삼 추출물을 함유한 에멀젼 도포부위의 TEWL이 대 조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 연구결과는 제주산양산삼 추출물이 SPT의 발현 증가를 통해 세포간 지질의 핵심성분인 세라마이드의 생합성을 증가시켰음을 보여준다. 따라서 제주산양산삼 추출물은 피부장벽기능을 개선시켜 TEWL 감소 효과를 나타내며, 이를 통해 화장품 분야에서 피부장벽 강화 및 보습소재 로서 사용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

Fog may have a significant impact on road conditions. In an attempt to improve fog predictability in Jeju, we conducted machine learning with various data mining techniques such as tree models, conditional inference tree, random forest, multinomial logistic regression, neural network and support vector machine. To validate machine learning models, the results from the simulation was compared with the fog data observed over Jeju(184 ASOS site) and Gosan(185 ASOS site). Predictive rates proposed by six data mining methods are all above 92% at two regions. Additionally, we validated the performance of machine learning models with WRF (weather research and forecasting) model meteorological outputs. We found that it is still not good enough for operational fog forecast. According to the model assesment by metrics from confusion matrix, it can be seen that the fog prediction using neural network is the most effective method.

To understand the traditional knowledge of botanical taxa in Jeju Island, a diachronic study was carried out by comparing the archaic and modern names of the native plants in Jeju Island. To identify the archaic names of the plants, five old documents (Sejongshillokchiriji, Shinjŭngdonggukyŏjisŭngnam, T'amnaji, Namhwanbangmul and Jejugyerok) that were written during the Joseon Dynasty between the 15 th and 19 th centuries were closely examined. A total of 131 taxa (65 families, 112 genera, 118 species and 13 varieties), 7.3% of the native plants known to be currently present in Jeju Island, was identified. Out of these, 21.4% was the plants found in the southern area. Among the five old documents analyzed for this study, Namhwanbangmul recorded the largest number of plants, 89 taxa. We closely examined the consistency between the modern and archaic names of each plant, and discussed the problems in matching the names of some plants analyzed in this study.

Long-term variations of PM10 and the characteristics of local meteorology related to its concentration changes were analyzed at 4 air quality sites (Ido-dong, Yeon-dong, Donghong-dong, and Gosan) in Jeju during two different periods, such as PI (2001-2006) and PII (2007-2013), over a 13-year period. Overall, the long-term trend of PM10 was very slightly downward during the whole study period, while the high PM10 concentrations in PII were observed more frequently than those in PI. The concentration variations of PM10 during the study period was clarified in correlation between PM10 and meteorological variables, e.g. the low (high) PM10 concentration with large (small) precipitation or high (low) radiation and in part high PM10 concentrations (especially, Donghong-dong and Gosan) with strong wind speed and the westerly/northwesterly winds. This was likely to be caused by the transport effect (from the polluted regions of China) rather than the contribution of local emission sources. The PM10 concentrations in “Asian dust” and “Haze” weather types were higher, whereas those in “Precipitation”, “Fog”, and “Thunder and Lighting” weather types were lower. The contribution of long-range transport to the observed PM10 levels in the urban center (Ido-dong, Yeon-dong, and Donghong-dong), if estimated by comparison to the data of the background site (Gosan), was found to explain about 80% (on average) of its input.

This study analyzed the frequency of heatwave occurrences in Jeju Island in summer season (June to September) for the recent 46 years (1968-2013). The frequency showed an increasing trend up until now and we applied statistical change-point analysis in order to determine whether this increasing trend had a climate regime shift. As a result, it was discovered that frequency of heatwave occurrences has rapidly increased since 1990. Thus, to determine the causes of rapid increase in frequency of heatwave occurrences in Jeju Island since 1990, a difference in mean values of June to September between a period of 1990-2013 and a period of 1968-1989 was analyzed. The analysis result of differences between two periods about stream flows showed that large anomalous anticyclonic circulations were strengthened in the subtropical western Pacific and the center of the small anomalous anticyclone, which was branched westwardly out of the anticyclonic circulations was located within the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. This strengthening of the anomalous anticyclone in the Korean Peninsula was also shown at the middle and upper troposphere. The anomalous anticyclonic circulations, which were expanded to the Korean Peninsula from the subtropical western Pacific in recent years was due to strengthening of the western North Pacific subtropical high (WNPSH) in the Korean Peninsula. Hot and humid air can be introduced into the Korean Peninsula due to the strengthening WNPSH in the Korean Peninsula. Furthermore, a difference in daily maximum temperature at 2m height as well as sensible heat net flux between two periods were analyzed in order to determine the degree of the heat at the ground. There was positive anomalies found along the coast in East Asia and the center of the positive anomalies was linked to the Korean Peninsula via the northern part of China. Thus, the Korean Peninsula including Jeju area had more heat than usual in recent years.

Observation data (1981-2014) and climate change scenario data (historical: 1981-2005; RCP 2.6 and 8.5: 2006-2100) were used to analyze occurrence and future outlook of the extreme heat days and tropical nights in Daegu and Jeju. Then we compared the mortality and observations data (1993-2013). During 1981-2014, the average of extreme heat days (tropical nights) was 24.41 days (12.47 days) in Daegu, and 6.5 days (22.14 days) in Jeju. Extreme heat days and tropical nights have been similarly increased in Daegu, but tropical nights increased more than extreme heat days in Jeju. Extreme heat days and tropical nights in both, Daegu and Jeju showed high correlation with daily mortality, specifically Daegu’s correlation was higher than that of jeju. The yearly increasing rate of extreme heat of the future (2076-2100) was 1.7-3.6 times and 7.8-37.7 times higher than the past (1981-2005) in Daegu and Jeju, respectively. The yearly increase rate of tropical nights of future was 2.6-5.0 times and 2.9-5.6 times higher in Daegu and Jeju, respectively. During 2006-2100 periods, the trend of extreme heat days was observed both in Daegu and Jeju. On the average, extreme heat days and tropical nights in Jeju increased more than that of Daegu. However, the trend of extreme heat days increase in Daegu was higher than that in Jeju, whereas, the trend of tropical nights in Jeju was higher than that in Daegu.

본 연구에서는 유역 물수지 방법을 기반으로 제주도 지역에 적합한 용수량 산정방법을 제안하고, 이를 기반으로 4개 하천유역에 대해 지역 및 고도에 따른 증발산량, 용수량 특성을 평가하였다. SWAT-K 유역모형을 적용하여 1992∼2013년 기간에 대해 잠재증발산량과 실제증발산량을 산정하고, 이로부터 유역의 순물소모량을 추정하였다. 고도증가에 따라 잠재 증발산량은 선형으로 감소하는 반면, 실제증발산량은 강수량에 의한 토양내 가용수분의 증가로 인해 약 400 m 고도까지는 증가하다가 이후 고도에서는 식생, 가용수분의 감소, 저온현상 등으로 인해 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 고도에 따른 순물소모 량은 강정천유역을 제외한 3개 유역에서 고도증가에 따라 순물소모량이 선형적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 고도 200 m 이하 작물경작지에서의 순물소모량은 연간 559∼680 m로 분석되었다. 추정된 용수량을 실제 관정 이용량과 비교한 결과, 여름철(6∼8월) 양수량은 급수관행으로 인해 크게 증가하는데 비해, 작물경작에 따른 순물소모량은 오히려 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 대해서는 향후 더 많은 관정 이용량과 추가적인 대상지역을 반영하여 분석이 필요할 것으로 판단된

The process that a new energy policy introduces and merges into the formal social system is an important but difficult journey for the transition to the low carbon society. Meanwhile, the government was obliged to allocate carbon emission reduction, the companies are called obligatory participants through emissions trading scheme were building an internal greenhouse gas reduction system to reduce Risk and to respond this new system. However, the internal response and reduction system of the Waste Field are easy to exposure to the ETS Risk because the local government employee is unaware of the ETS. Thus, it is necessary to establish a framework for rational decision making institutions through analyzing the existing system of greenhouse gas energy target management system. This study was predicted for the first phase emissions trading allowances based on excess or deficiency received through the 2015 quota allocation applications and explained the process proceeded in greenhouse gas energy target management system by the Jeju Special Self-case analysis of the waste sector, predicted potentially losses cost during the first phase in the emissions trading credits that are traded on the KRX market price. Furthermore, throughout the sensitivity analysis of major waste process parameter suggested the internal system to reduce greenhouse gas emissions directly as well as external policies by the direct participation of citizens through the local recycling center expansion. After all, this study suggested the need for the construction of internal and external system corresponding to these systemic risk.

본 연구에서는 제주도에 자생하고 있는 12종의 야생 버섯에 대한 항산화, 미백 그리고 염증억제 효능을 조사하였다. 항산화 효능은 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)를 이용한 free radical 소거 활성을 측정하였으며, 미백 효능 검정을 위하여 tyrosinase 저해활성을 측정하였다. 그리고 항염 효능 검정을 위하여 nitric oxide (NO) 생성 저해활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과, DPPH 소거 활성(FSC50)에서는 참나무 잔나비버섯 추출물(74.8 μg/mL), 서어나무 잔나비버섯 추출물(182.6 μg/mL)이 높은 억제 활성을 나타내었다. Tyrosinase 저해 활성(IC50)에서는 참나무 잔나비버섯 추출물(346.8 μg/mL)이 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었고, 이는 비교 대조군으로 사용한 Arbutin (421.6 μg/mL)보다 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 염증 억제 효능 관련 NO 생성 저해율을 측정한 결과, 100 μg/mL 처리 시 참나무 잔나비버섯과 때죽나무 잔나비버섯에서 각각 74.1%, 62.9%의 억제활성을 나타내었다. 그리고, 이들을 농도별로 처리한 결과 농도 의존적으로 NO 생성을 저해함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 연구결과로부터, 참나무 잔나비버섯, 서어나무 잔나비버섯, 때죽나무 잔나비버섯에서 화장품 효능 원료로서의 가능성을 발견할 수 있었다.

미국이나 일본 같은 외국의 사례와는 달리, 한국에서는 음식물 분쇄기의 사용이 법적으로 허용되지 않고 있다. 음식물 쓰레기의 성상과 특징상 다른 종류의 그것과는 그것을 일일이 분류하여 일정한 장소에 갖다놓고 수거하는 것에 대한 번거로움과 어려움이 있다는 것은 주지의 사실이다. 또한 많은 사람들이 해외에서 합법적으로 사용되고 있는 주방용 오물분쇄기의 합법화를 원하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 2007년도에 이루어진 가정용 오물분쇄기의 도입에 대한 제주지역 주민들을 대상으로 실시한 설문 분석을 토대로 WTP를 추정하고 이에 영향을 끼치는 요인을 분석한다. 나아가 본 분석을 토대로 현재까지도 논의중에 있는 우물분쇄기 전면허용에 대한 함의점을 찾고 정책적 시사점을 제공 하는 것이다. 제주시의 사례에서 나타난 바는 응답자의 WIP가 초기 제시가격이 높고 환경친화성향이 강할수록 높았으며 비용편익비율이 1.09로 나타났다.

The estimation of groundwater usage in Jeju island is important to understand hydrologic cycle system and to plan management of water resource because large amounts of groundwater have been used for agricultural and domestic purpose. The model has been developed to estimate agricultural groundwater usage for garlic at uplands and citrus at orchards raising outdoors using the soil water balance model from FAO 56, respectively. The total amount of water supplied for the crop evapotranspiration and the multipurpose function such as sprout promotion can be simulated by the model. However, due to the discrepancy of water use in initial stage between calculated and observed, the model was calibrated and verified using actual groundwater usage monitoring data for 3.5 years (2011.6 to 2014.12) at three uplands for garlic and three orchards for citrus. Consequently, it would be concluded that the model simulated efficiently actual water usage in that root mean square (RMS) and normalized RMS of the validation stage were less than 8.99 mm and 2.43%, respectively, in two different conditions.
