Background: Forward head posture (FHP) is a postural alignment of the cervical vertebrae that leads to increased gravitational load on cervical segmental motions. The overhead arm lift test assesses the ability to actively dissociate and control low cervical flexion and move the shoulders through overhead flexion. Objects: The purpose of this study was to explore muscle activities in the upper trapezius (UT), serratus anterior (SA), sternocleidomastoid (SCM), and lower trapezius (LT) alongside changes in head position during the overhead arm lift test in individuals with FHP. Methods: Fifteen subjects with forward head posture and fifteen subjects with normal subjcects were enrolled in this study. The patients performed the overhead arm lift test, and muscle activities of the UT, SCM, SA, and LT were measured using surface electromyography and by evaluating changes in head position. Independent t-tests were used to detect significant differences between the two groups and Cohen’s d was calculated to measure the size of the mean difference between the groups. Results: The FHP group demonstrated significantly increased muscle activity of the UT (32.46±7.64), SCM (12.79±4.01), and LT (45.65±10.52) and significantly decreased activity in the SA (26.65±6.15) than the normal group. The change in head position was significantly higher in the FHP group (6.66±2.08) than the normal group. Effect sizes for all parameters assessed were large between the two groups. Conclusion: The subjects with excessive FHP displayed were unable to fix their heads in position during the overhead arm lift test. The overhead arm lift test can thus be used in clinical settings to confirm control of the neck in these subjects.

온실가스 감축이라는 국제 사회의 대응에 따라, 한국에서도 2002년 신재생에너지 발전 보급 사업의 일환으로 발전차액지원제도(FIT)를 실시하였다. 그러나 2012년 의무할 당제(RPS)로 전면적인 제도 변동이 이루어졌고, 지금 현재에도 정책의 실효성으로 인한 정책 변화를 모색하고 있다. 이러한 제도의 급격한 변동을 설명하는 요인에 대해 기존 연구에서는 정책 과정에서의 외부적 요인을 주로 이야기 하고 있었으나, 최근 연구에 따르면 정책 과정 내부에서의 변동 요인을 찾으려는 움직임들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 후발국에 서의 제도가 새로운 제도로 급격하게 변동되는 요인에 대해 살펴봄을 목적으로 한다. 이를 확인하기 위해 사례로서 한국의 신재생에너지 보급 확대사업에서의 발전차지원제도(FIT)에 서 의무할당제(RPS)로의 전환 과정을 살펴볼 것이다. 그 결과, 기존 논의에서 외부적 요인으로 정책 변동이 일어난 것으로 설명한 것과는 달리, 내부적 요인인 의사결정방식 (Top-down)과 외부적 요인인 정권변동이 결합하여 정책변동을 일으킴을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 변동 요인을 살펴봄으로써 향후 정책 설계 및 진화 과정에서의 정책 실패를 최소화 할 수 있도록 정책 형성자들에게 유용한 함의를 제시하고자 한다.

This study evaluated the physicochemical and microbial quality characteristic of seasonal commercial kimchi for hygienic safety levels. The pH of seasonal commercial kimchi was 3.84-6.36 and the titratable acidity and salinity of the samples were 0.21-1.16 and 1.19-1.54%, respectively. The content of nitrate and nitrite in the commercial kimchi were lower in the spring and summer, which was affected by acidic condition of the kimchi depending on fermentation. Heavy metal contents in commercial kimchi are not an issue because they were detected only at very low levels. The total aerobic bacteria and coliforms counts ranged from 5.25 to 8.44 Log CFU/g and 0.00 to 5.08 Log CFU/g, respectively. The total aerobic bacteria and coliforms were detected more in summer than in the other seasons. E. coli was detected in three of the samples tested. Food-borne pathogens were not detected in any of the samples except for B. cereus. B. cereus was detected in the fall in more than 70% of samples. These results suggest that commercial kimchi distributed in the fall maintain the quality properties and the microbiological safety of kimchi compared to the other seasons. Therefore, further studies as an effective distribution system for the particular seasons will be needed to guarantee the hygienic safety levels of commercial kimchi required by the consumers.

본 연구는 면봉산 일대의 장기모니터링을 위한 고정조사구의 목본류 임분동태를 해석하기 위하여 실시되었다. 본 연구대상지는 1 ha의 조사구 내 10×10 m의 소조사구 100개소를 설치하여 흉고직경 2㎝이상의 목본류 개체를 중심으로 흉고직경, 수고 및 공간좌표를 측정하였다. 본 연구대상지의 목본식물의 흉고직경급은 역J자형이며, 2~6 ㎝의 개체수가 증가하는 경향으로 조사되었다. 흉고단면적은 2014년 33.22 ㎡/ha에서 2018년 34.25 ㎡/ha로 조사되어 증가하는 경향으로 나타났다. 주요 수종의 공간분포는 대부분 집중분포하는 경향으로 분석되었다. 중요치 분석결과 상층부를 우점하는 소나무, 신갈나무는 감소하고 중층의 쇠물푸레나무는 증가하는 경향으로 나타났다.

Considering the situation in the early 20th century when the existing urban system centered on urban areas began to change, the biggest factors causing urban structural changes in urban areas are construction of railroad and urban dismantling. The change process of Eupseong, in the microscopic viewpoint, can be understood as a process of change in the course of dismantlement of town's demarcation, improvement of accessibility and urban expansion due to the construction of railroads, process of urban expansion following the crumbling boundaries and structural changes. This study aimed to look at the transformation process of the Eupseong in the early 20th century, focusing on the demolition of the castle and the railway construction from a microscopic point of view of city.

The former administration office building of Kyeong-seong-bu(京城府) was a building converted from the Japanese residency-general's of Kyeong-seong(京城理事廳) which was originally built as the Japanese consulate in J oseon(日本領事館). It was too worn and too small as a Kyeong-seong-bu administration office even with several annexes. Kyeong-seong-bu tried to build a new big administration office building at the vacant north side of the same site, which was closely faced to the rotary in front of the Bank of J oseon(朝鮮銀行前廣場). But this trial was ended in vain due to insufficient budget. Therefore Kyeong-seong-bu built a new administration office building in another site and moved to it in 1926 with debts. For paying for the debts Kyeong-seong-bu sold the former site after partitioning with new roads through it. As a result the nature of the former site and its surroundings was changed. This study traces the changes and inquires how the authorities in the colonial J oseon and various commercial powers of Kyeong-seong-bu behaved for their own interests in the meantime. It makes use of the historical records and documentary literatures between early 1910s and early 1930s.
